Is it true, O Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, do not you serve my gods, nor worship the golden image which I have set up? |
|
Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego must have felt quite alone on the plain of Dura when they remained standing while everyone else was bowing down. |
|
It may have seemed to Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego that it wasn't really an advantage to be so strict in their diet and in their lifestyle. |
|
They may have even thought evil of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego for standing, when everyone else was kneeling and worshiping the image. |
|
Under threat of death, everyone bowed down before the king's image, except Daniel's three friends: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. |
|
And these three men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnace. |
|
The following year Lauretta met and married Abednego Bhekabantu Ngcobo. |
|
Nebuchadnezzar, the other Babylonians, and even the other Hebrew captives may not have understood the importance of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego giving God the glory for their superior wisdom to God. |
|
Can you imagine what it must have been like for Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego to fall down bound in the furnace only to find themselves unhurt by it. |
|
Jesus must have enjoyed being with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego face to face in the furnace, just as much as they were awed to be with Him for those few minutes. |
