An ApplicationWhat an awesome story of faith. May we all act this way under pressure. The appostles will in a few centuries, too. Surely DAN 3:30 upset those in DAN 3:8. Won't be the last time the people of God upset selfish people. (Note, his name is not Abendego, it's Abednego. Not sure how many people mispronounce this, but seemed like a lot when & where I was growing up.)

Connect the DotsNebuchadnezzar had just recognized Daniel's God the previous time he'd seen these men (DAN 2:46-47) but he didn't really understand monotheism yet. He was a pagan after all. When some of his newly appointed top officials defied him, he understandably flipped out. God performed a demonstration so famous it's taught in children's Bibles over 3 millenia later.
