1 Review of chapter two: [Image - Statue2] God uses Daniel as an instrument to reveal the dream the king had. Gold - Babylon Judah's Exile - Age of the Gentiles Silver - Media-Persia Judah's Return from Exile Bronze - Greek/Macedonia Greek Common Language - Septuagint Written Iron - Rome Roads - Postal Service - Christ (Birth-Death-Resurrection) - Gospel Spreads Iron-Clay-The Rock End Times - The Establishment of Christ's Kingdom Nebuchadnezzar promotes young Daniel and his Godly friends to positions of authority over the other, older, pagan wise men. The chapter ends with Nebuchadnezzar confessing Daniel's God as the greatest of gods. This confession was not one of true faith, but simply a statement from a practicing polytheist. In this time and culture every town had a god and every family had household god. An official census of the gods, undertaken in the ninth century before Christ, counted them as some 65,000. [Our Oriental Heritage: The Story of Civilization, Volume I] 1 King Nebuchadnezzar made a gold statue ninety feet tall and nine feet wide and set it up on the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon. Some theorize the events in chapter three occurred approximately 10 to 20 years after the events in chapter two. The term Dura is an Akkadian word meaning wall or fortress, the actual location referenced here is unknown. The statue was probably not solid gold, rather made out of wood covered with gold plates. The narrative does not indicate whether the image was a god or the king himself. Some argue that the gold of this statue connects the story with Nebuchadnezzar s dream in which he was the head of gold. However, most scholars explain that Babylonian kings did not usually present themselves as gods because the power of the Babylonian king was limited by the law, the aristocracy, and the clergy.
2 The Babylonian king was the agent of the city god, in the case of Nebuchadnezzar, it was either the god Nabu (the name Nebuchadnezzar means O god Nabu, protect my son) or the goddess Bel. 2 Then he sent messages to the high officers, officials, governors, advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates, and all the provincial officials to come to the dedication of the statue he had set up. 3 So all these officials came and stood before the statue King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 Then a herald shouted out, People of all races and nations and languages, listen to the king s command! 5 When you hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments, bow to the ground to worship King Nebuchadnezzar s gold statue. 6 Anyone who refuses to obey will immediately be thrown into a blazing furnace. The command was to worship this image as a demonstration of loyalty to the king. A blazing furnace was a common form of punishment in Babylon, possibly the same furnace used for the melting of the gold. 7 So at the sound of the musical instruments, all the people, whatever their race or nation or language, bowed to the ground and worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 8 But some of the astrologers went to the king and informed on the Jews. The KJV uses the term Chaldean to refer to the astrologers, the word is used as an ethnic term to refer to the Babylonians and also refers to a professional class of priests or astrologers. 9 They said to King Nebuchadnezzar, Long live the king! 10 You issued a decree requiring all the people to bow down and worship the gold statue when they hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipes, and other musical instruments. 11 That decree also states that those who refuse to obey must be thrown into a blazing furnace. 12 But there are some Jews Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego whom you have put in charge of the province of Babylon. They pay no attention to you, Your Majesty. They refuse to serve your gods and do not worship the gold statue you have set up.
3 Where were Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego throughout the first part of this story? Praying! Perhaps, the text suggests, these wise men were motivated by professional jealousy. 13 Then Nebuchadnezzar flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego be brought before him. When they were brought in, 14 Nebuchadnezzar said to them, Is it true, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, that you refuse to serve my gods or to worship the gold statue I have set up? 15 I will give you one more chance to bow down and worship the statue I have made when you hear the sound of the musical instruments. But if you refuse, you will be thrown immediately into the blazing furnace. And then what god will be able to rescue you from my power? Verse 15 reveals the lesson in this chapter. In chapter 2:11 the astrologers stated there was no god with the wisdom to reveal the king's dream; in this chapter the king challenges that no god will be able to rescue Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego from his power. They are still treating the God of Israel as one of their many deities. 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego replied, O Nebuchadnezzar, we do not need to defend ourselves before you. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing furnace, the God whom we serve is able to save us. He will rescue us from your power, your majesty. 18 But even if He doesn t, we want to make it clear to you, your majesty, that we will never serve your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up. Verse 16 could be translated; we have no need to answer you when you have already reached a conclusion. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stood before the king with God given peace and conviction. Their response preserves the story from devolving into a false promise that God will save every faithful person from suffering and death. Such a story would betray the faithful martyrs who have stood faithful but suffered death. Jesus Himself honored God s followers who died during the Old Testament time when He spoke of all the righteous blood that has been shed on the earth, from the blood of righteous Abel to the blood of Zechariah son of Berekiah (Matt. 23: 35). The story of church history from its beginnings under the Roman empire to the present has countless stories of faithful witnesses who have stood firm to the end.
4 Philippians 1:20-21 For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. [NLT] 19 Nebuchadnezzar was so furious with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego that his face became distorted with rage. He commanded that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than usual. The expression seven times hotter than usual is an idiom for as hot as possible. 20 Then he ordered some of the strongest men of his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. 21 So they tied them up and threw them into the furnace, fully dressed in their pants, turbans, robes, and other garments. 22 And because the king, in his anger, had demanded such a hot fire in the furnace, the flames killed the soldiers as they threw the three men in. The ancient furnace was usually built on a small hill or mound with openings at the top and side. The ore to be smelted would be dropped in a large opening at the top and wood or charcoal would be inserted in a smaller hole on the side, at ground level, to heat the furnace. Some have estimated that this furnace could reach a temperature of 1,800 degrees Fahrenheit [Images Furnace1 and Furnace2] 23 So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, securely tied, fell into the roaring flames. 24 But suddenly, Nebuchadnezzar jumped up in amazement and exclaimed to his advisers, Didn t we tie up three men and throw them into the furnace? Yes, Your Majesty, we certainly did, they replied. 25 Look! Nebuchadnezzar shouted. I see four men, unbound, walking around in the fire unharmed! And the fourth looks like a god! In response to Nebuchadnezzar's earlier challenge; no god will be able to rescue you from my power; God demonstrates He is no regular god. Deuteronomy 4:20 Remember that the LORD rescued you from the iron-smelting furnace of Egypt in order to make you His very own people and His special possession, which is what you are today. [NLT]
5 Scholars note that this was possibly a Christophany, meaning a pre-incarnate appearance of Jesus. However, this polytheist king probably did not understand this, he only describes his vision of a glorious appearance. 26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came as close as he could to the door of the flaming furnace and shouted: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, servants of the Most High God, come out! Come here! So Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stepped out of the fire. Again, Nebuchadnezzar acknowledged Jehovah to be supreme above other gods, but he continues to be a polytheist. 27 Then the high officers, officials, governors, and advisers crowded around them and saw that the fire had not touched them. Not a hair on their heads was singed, and their clothing was not scorched. They didn t even smell of smoke! 28 Then Nebuchadnezzar said, Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent his angel to rescue his servants who trusted in him. They defied the king s command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. 29 Therefore, I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or language, speak a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be turned into heaps of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue like this! 30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon. Even as Christians, we are in a struggle with idolatry. For instance: Our addictions can make pleasure an idol, so that all our efforts and thoughts are directed toward where we will get our next high, whether through alcohol, drugs, sex, or some other cheap thrill. We might seek power in order to control our world or simply to have the resources of revenge toward those who have hurt us in some way. We may be gearing our life and decisions not around what we understand to be God s will, but rather the will of a spouse, a child, or a friend. Seeking knowledge or degrees, writing books, or delivering impressive sermons, these too may become idols. The list is vast, which is why the danger is so real. The seduction is subtle, which is why we can slip so easily into idol worship. Ultimately idolatry has one object, when the masks are ripped away, behind every idol is the self.
6 Philippians 1:20-21 For I fully expect and hope that I will never be ashamed, but that I will continue to be bold for Christ, as I have been in the past. And I trust that my life will bring honor to Christ, whether I live or die. For to me, living means living for Christ, and dying is even better. [NLT]
