c. 585 BC

Babylon

When Nebuchadnezzar ordered everyone to bow before a golden statue he had erected, three Judean officials named Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refused, saying their God was able to save them but that they would not worship the image regardless of the outcome. Enraged, Nebuchadnezzar had them thrown into a furnace heated seven times hotter than usual, yet witnesses reported a fourth figure walking with them in the flames, and all three emerged unharmed.

“But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods.”
