Tell the Story
So this is a fascinating story.
So let’s lay the groundwork first.
We have Shedrach, Meshach and Abendego who were exiles living in the land of Persia.
So this book is written during the period at which God’s people were in exile.
In chapter one we find out that Daniel along with Shedrach, Meschach and Abendego were Jews who were selected to serve as the kings officials.
So these dudes were studs.
They were smart and God had given them favour.
We also learn in chapter 1 that these three Jews along with Daniel were people of principle and conviction.
So Shedrach, Mechach and Abendego were the best of the best of the best.
They were like the Navy Seals in terms of their competencies and abilities.
And on top of all that they were people of conviction and principle that were unwilling to go against their conscience because they feared God more then man.
That sets the framework for us to understand what is happening in chapter 3.
These three fine folks had be
In Chapter 3, Shedrach, Meschach and Abendego were tested with likely the greatest test of their lives.
They were asked to compromise their beliefs or die an awful death.
Let’s get into the story here in chapter 3.
So King Nebuchadnezzar, who was a crazy dude if you read the whole book of Daniel.
There’s times he acknowledges God but other times he is on weird kicks too.
Chapter 3 is one of those weird kicks.
Let’s just say Nebuchadnezzar is a little obsessed with himself.
Have you ever been around with someone who is a little self-absorbed?
A little full of himself?
Yeah, no fun, no fun at all.
Well Nebuchadnezzar was so self-absorbed he had a gold statue built that was 90 feet high and 9 foot wide.
Then he commanded all his officials to worship that statue at the sound of all the musical instruments as the statue was dedicated.
He also adds the very important detail -
So the consequence of not following the kings command in this instance was death.
Death by being tossed into a fiery furnace.
