Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:26-27

‘Then Nebuchanezzar came near to the opening of the burning fiery furnace. He spoke and said, “Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, you servants of the Most High God, come out, and come here.” Then Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came out, out from the heart of the fire. And the satraps, the deputies and the governors, and the king’s counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, that the fire had had no power on their bodies, nor was the hair of their head singed, nor were their hose altered,... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:1-30

Daniel 3. The Golden Image and the Fiery Furnace.— Nebuchadnezzar made a colossal image of gold and commanded the people to worship it. The three friends of Daniel refused to comply with the order. The king thereupon had them thrown into a burning fiery furnace “ heated seven times hotter” than usual. But the fire had no power to consume them, and there appeared walking by the side of the three men in the midst of the furnace a fourth whose aspect was like “ a son of the gods.” The message of... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:27

Saw these men, with great admiration, for the satisfaction of all by their sight of them, and by their smell. All the works of God are perfect, and there was nothing here wanting to make this wonderful deliverance complete. Here was a pure act of God’s omnipotence, to divide between the fire and its most intense heat, and to master any creature in the world in its height, by working against and above nature, whose utmost sphere of activity is limited by God. read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 3:8-27

HOMILETICSSECT. XIII.—THE FIERY FURNACE (Chap. Daniel 3:8-27)God has never left Himself without a witness. An Enoch and a Noah found on the eve of the Flood; an Abraham in Chaldea, and a Lot in Sodom. While the multitude were falling prostrate before the golden image, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego were in their closet on their knees. Where was Daniel? Probably now, as often, at some distance from the court. Wherever he is, he is worshipping the God of heaven. If at hand, like his three... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 3:1-30

Daniel 3:0 I. We have here a specimen of religious intolerance. II. We see here how religious intolerance is to be met. These three young men simply refused to do what Nebuchadnezzar commanded, or, in modern phrase, they met his injunctions with "passive resistance." III. We have here an illustration of the support which Jesus gives to His followers when they are called to suffer for His sake. IV. We see here that in the matter of religious intolerance, as well as in some other things, the... read more

Chapter 3Now in chapter 3 we find Nebuchadnezzar defying the revelation of God. Remember in his dream he saw the image with the head of gold, "thou art the head of gold," but it had a chest of silver for the Babylonian Empire was to be replaced by an inferior empire, the Medo-Persian Empire.But Nebuchadnezzar [in defiance of God and the revelation of God] made an image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits [or sixty cubits], and the breath thereof was six cubits ( Daniel 3:1 ):You're... read more

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 3:1-30

Daniel 3:1 . An image of gold, whose height was threescore cubits. As the breadth of this image was only six cubits, which is four short of the human proportion, it is conjectured that the pedestal was twenty four cubits high: then the image itself was only thirty six. This nearly agrees with Diodorus Siculus, who says that Xerxes found an image of gold in the temple of Belus forty feet in length. But why did Nebuchadnezzar make this idol? Some think, to represent Bel-baal or Belus, which... read more

Daniel 3:19-28That they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated.The Fiery FurnaceI. THE PERSON WHO CAUSED IT TO BE MADE. This Oriental despot was then in the zenith of his glory. He was the acknowledged master of the world. The pomp and pageantry, of that religious gathering has never been surpassed. In deep awe, “they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up” (v. 4). II. THE PERSONS WHO WERE CAST INTO THIS BURNING FIERY FURNACE AND WHY. These... read more
