Raja Nebukadnezar telah memerintahkan semua orang harus menyembah patung. Sadrakh, Mesakh dan Abednego menolak dan dilemparkan ke dalam perapian. Tuhan telah mengutus seorang malaikat untuk melindungi mereka.
23 And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell bound into the burning fiery furnace.24 Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished and rose up in haste. He declared to his counselors, “Did we not cast three men bound into the fire?” They answered and said to the king, “True, O king.”25 He answered and said, “But I see four men unbound, walking in the midst of the fire, and they are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods.”
