Daniel 3

This is a pivotal passage in the Bible. Idolatry is prominent. A Godly resistance to false worship bravely takes a stand. The per-incarnate Christ , the fourth man in the fire, makes an appearance. We are shown God’s keeping power over the fiercest of trials.

The three Hebrew eunuchs (Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego) boldly refused to bow down to the huge, golden image Nebuchadnezzar had erected. This identifies worship as bowing down. False worship is clarified as bowing down to the wrong thing. We are reassured that God will have our back when we refuse to bow down to anything or anyone apart from Him.

Be careful what you bow down to.
