Story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (Daniel 3)

King Nebuchadnezzar built a statue of gold of himself, and commanded that everyone bow down and worship the golden image.  Whoever did not bow down the image would be casted into burning furnace.  Chaldean men informed the king that Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not serve the king's gods, nor did they bow down to the golden image.  The  king called the trio before him to give them a chance to bow to the golden image, and then proceeded to question if their god would be able to deliver them from the furnace. When they told him (to his face!) that not only would they not worship the golden image, but their God WOULD deliver them, and if He didn't they STILL were not going to bow to the golden imgage. The king became furious and commanded the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual.  The king got his strongest men to bind the three up, fully clothed, and casted them into the furnace.  The flame was so hot that it killed the king's men.  Nebuchadnezzar was surprised when he saw not three but four figures in the fire, one of which he acknowledged looked the Son of God.  The three men were not burned.  He called Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to him along with his counsel, and they saw that the men were not so much as singed, nor did they smell like smoke.  Nebechadnezzar blessed the God of the three, and demanded that no one spoke against their God, because no other God could deliver in this way!
