Then Nebuchadnezzar was full of fury, and the form of his appearance was changed against ccc. He spoke, and commanded that they should heat the furnace seven times more than it was usually heated. He commanded certain mighty men who were in his army to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace. Then these men were bound in their pants, their tunics, and their mantles, and their other clothes, and were cast into the middle of the burning fiery furnace. Daniel 3:19'21 WEB.Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were bound and pushed to the edge of the roaring furnace. King Nebuchadnezzar had decreed that they were to be incinerated because they refused to bow to his new nine-story idol of gold when the music played.
They refused to compromise and told King Nebuchadnezzar that their God was able to deliver them. Yet, even if He didn't, they wouldn't bow down to his new idol. It made the king furious, and he had the furnace heated seven times hotter.
The heat coming up from the inferno was so intense that it killed the soldiers around them. Then the three Hebrews fell through the flames into the roaring fire below. This fate had befallen them simply because they refused to break the Lord's commandment:
You shall not make for yourselves an idol, nor any image of anything that is in the heavens above, or that is in the earth beneath, or that is in the water under the earth: you shall not bow yourself down to them, nor serve them, for I, Yahweh your God, am a jealous God... Exodus 20:4-5 WEB.
I am sure it was scary as they looked down into that blazing furnace. It was certain death. Yet, they landed safely at the bottom, for they found they were not alone. There was a fourth Person in the furnace with them, the Lord Jesus Christ. When they came out of the fire, the ropes binding them had burned away, but they were unharmed. Their clothes didn't even smell like smoke'a nice touch.
You are going to make it. Though it looks as scary as hell itself, you are going to make it. Don't waver in your faith, and don't compromise. When you get to the bottom, you will find that you are not alone, and only the things holding you back will be burned away.
