Daniel 3:19-30
Now the prophet Daniel tells about Three men who walked with God
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Before the wicked king, they stood. And the king commanded them bound and thrown Into the fiery furnace that day, But the fire was so hot that the men who threw them in were slain, That forced them on their way.
Now when the three were cast in and the king rose up to witness this awful fate, He began to tremble at what he saw. In astonished tones he spake, Did we not cast three men bound Into the midst of the fire, Well, Lo, I see four men unhurt, Unbound and walkin' down there;
There's Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, And the fiery coals they trodBut the form of the Fourth Man that I see, Is like the Son of God.
There's a Fourth Man in the fire, and his name is Jesus—Immanuel, God with us.
The Fourth Man
In The Fire
It was Nebuchadnezzar who saw the fourth man, who looked like the son of God walking around in the midst of the fire. The Hebrew number for four is Dalet, it means a door. Jesus is the Door, the way to our deliverance. ... Jesus always walks with us in our fiery trials.
These names mean respectively, "God is gracious," "Who is like God?"
And these men:
l They wouldn't bend
l They held on to the will of God so we are told
l They wouldn't bow
l They would not bow their knees to Idols made of gold
l They wouldn't burn
l They were protected by the Fourth Man in the fire
l They wouldn't bend
l They wouldn't bow, they wouldn't burn.
“Who is the Fourth Man?
In Genesis, He is the Seed of the Woman.
In Exodus, He is the Passover Lamb.
In Leviticus, He is our High Priest.
In Matthew and the whole of the New Testament, He is Jesus in all our situations of life, He is always there.....for those that trust and call on His name, JESUS.
