Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:7

The same methods hath new Babylon followed, in the long slavery of their false catholic church, for the whole world wondered after the beast, and none could make war with him, Revelation 13:3,Revelation 13:4,Revelation 13:7,Revelation 13:8. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:12

Now the devil’s cloven foot appears, now ye have the bottom of the plot; one of these two is clear: these Chaldeans finding the Jews made courtiers, and preferred to places of trust and honour, they either put the king upon this work, or else made use of it, both to satisfy their ambition and wreak their malice against those three worthies; as they dealt with Daniel, Daniel 6:4,Daniel 6:5. They accused the Jews; which word signifies to calumniate, and also to eat up and devour, which is the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:13

Why not Daniel too, because he was chief of all in honour? Answ. Because the king had a greater favour for him, and he was popular, and beloved for his great wisdom and unblamable carriage; they would not meddle with him now, lest by his knowledge and interest in the king he might chance to spoil their plot. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:14

Now when these men were brought before the king, though in rage, yet he doth not presently throw them into the fire, but makes inquiry by interrogatories, that he might see first if they were guilty, by hearing them speak for themselves, and telling them he expected obedience and conformity to his laws from them, and it was in vain to look for any indulgence from him, he would bate them nothing, they should be burned. What! do ye make a jest of my gods, and my religion, and my commands? so the... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:15

Prodigious pride and blasphemy! for he doth not only insult over all gods in general, but particularly against the only true God, whom he lately confessed, Daniel 2:47, to be a God of gods, and a Lord of kings. So the king of Assyria, 2 Kings 18:30,2 Kings 18:33. Thus all the tyrants of the East, Turk, Mogul, Kham, whose very titles are blasphemy. It is a wonder why these men worship any god, seeing they set up themselves above all. Reason of state makes them set up somewhat to keep the people... read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:16

Heb. We care not, we may not, there is no need of any answer in this case, for it is in vain for us to deliberate and debate the matter; the king is resolved to have his will of us, and we are resolved on the contrary; for to obey him in this horrid thing will be disobedience against our God to the highest. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:17

They were endued with a strong faith in their God, not only as to his power, which was omnipotent and unlimited, but also as to his will, which readily inclined him to succour his servants in their distress, for his name’s sake, according to his promise and the saints’ experience in the like cases of extremity. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:18

They add this, But if not, to show they did not presume to tie God to this deliverance absolutely, for God is arbitrary, and knows how to deliver, and sometimes to suffer his saints to glorify him by suffering. It was therefore all one to them, which way of the two God would honour himself, they were resolved to venture suffering rather than sinning, and leave the cause to God. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:19

The king’s fury appeared in his face, and in his words; taking this answer for the highest affront and provocation, which as the case stood he could not bear, the pride of his heart made his indignation boil over, and therefore he made the furnace seven times hotter. Tyrants would burn the people of God in hell if they could. read more

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 3:20

Did he think these three men would have resisted, or that their God would defend them from his power, or that, if he had, the king and his mighty men could have prevailed? None of all this was in the case, for God purposed to show his power when the king did his worst, and to quench the violence of the fire, both of the furnace and of the king’s fury, at once; and in the thing wherein he dealt proudly, to be above him. read more
