Daniel—The Three Friends in the Fiery Furnace

View All Lessons

Have you ever seen a furnace? Or a great fire? Well, King Nebuchadnezzar had a great furnace with a huge fire to make it very hot to melt metals like silver and gold. He decided to make himself a giant statue covered with gold, and he commanded everyone to bow down to the statue or be thrown into the fiery furnace. But bowing down to a statue is idolatry in God’s law. Daniel’s friends, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, remained faithful to God, and they refused to bow down to the statue. This lesson tells us all about it, and you may be surprised to find out what happened to them.
