Hello Everyone,


Today's post will be on the story of the Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego from the bible.-King Nebuchadnezzer made a gold statue 90 feet tall and 9 feet wide*and set it up on the plain of Dura in the provine of Babylon. 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.So all these officials*came and stood before the statue King Nebuchadnezzer had set up.Then a herald shouted out,"People of all races and nations and languages,listen to the kings command!When you hear the sound of the horn,flute,zither,lyre,harp,pipes and other musical instruments,*bow to the ground to worship King Nebuchadnezzer's gold statue.Anyone who refuses to obey will be immediately thrown into a blazing furnace".



So at the sounds of the musical instruments,*all the people,whatever their race or nation of language ,bowed to the ground and worshiped the gold statue that King Nebuchadnezzer had set up.But some of the astrologers*went to the king and informed on the Jews.They said to King Nebuchadnezzer,Long Live The King! 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.That decree also states that those who refuse to obey must be thrown in to a blazing furnace.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 and do not worship the gold statue you have set up".Then Nebuchadnezzer flew into a rage and ordered that Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego be brought before him.When they were brought in,Nebuchadnezzer 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?I will give you one more chance to bow down and worship the statue i have made when you hear the sounds of 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?



Shadrach Meshach and Abednego replied, "O Nebuchadnezzer, we do not need to defend ourselves before you.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.But even if he doesn't,we want to make it clear to you,Your Majesty,that we will never worship your gods or worship the gold statue you have set up.Nebuchadnezzer 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.Then he ordered some of the strongest men of his army to bind Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace.So they tied them up and threw them into the furnace,fully dressed,in their pants,turbans,robes and other garments.



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.So Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego,securely tied,fell into the roaring flames.But suddenly,Nebuchadnezzer 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.


Look! Nebuchadnezzer shouted."I see four men,unbounded,walking around in the fire unharmed.And the fourth one looks like a god*"!Then Nebuchadnezzer 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 .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! Then Nebuchadnezzer 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 and god except their own God.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!Then the king promoted Shadrach,Meshach and Abednego to even higher positions in Babylon.
