Daniel 3 - 4

Daniel
DanielSteve Gregg

In Daniel 3, King Nebuchadnezzar orders the construction of a 60-cubit gold statue and demands that everyone in Babylon bow down to it as a sign of loyalty. Three Jewish men - Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego - refuse to bow to the statue and are thrown into a fiery furnace. However, God miraculously delivers them from the flames, and they emerge unharmed. In Daniel 4, Nebuchadnezzar declares that his kingdom will endure forever, but he is soon struck with madness. After a period of time, he humbles himself before God and his sanity is restored.
