Daniel Ch.3

[David Eugene Sandlin]

A few things I want to point out.

-One, what amazing faith Shadrach, Meshach, and Obendigo had: to look King Nebuchanezzar in the eye and say to him they would not worship these false gods, when threatened by death to flame took serious, serious faith.

-Two, how awesome God is to deliver them from this flame that was so severe that it killed the men who were throwing these guys into it.

-Three, how great faith and a greater God can change a man (Nebuchanezzar).

I also would love some input about verse 25, "25He answered and said, "But I see four men unbound,(A) walking in the midst of the fire, and they(B) are not hurt; and the appearance of the fourth is like(C) a son of the gods."

Who was this fourth guy in your opinion?

[Jarrell Floyd]

I was reading the verses you were talking about and in my bible the text says "Son of God" in verse 25. I thought it was interesting that Son of God is capitalized. I believed thats why some people believe the fourth man was Jesus and I happen to be one of them.

Well in verse 28 Nebuchadnezzar calls the fourth person an angel that was sent by God. I've been taught in church that it was an angel or god himself. A son of the gods doesn't necessarily mean Jesus because it is coming from the mouth of Nebuchadnezzar and he worshipped pagan gods. So I would assume son of the gods would refer to the idea of god-like. In the old testament you line is passed from father to son meaning that the father lives on through the son. This being said it'd make since that it was an angel because their was a god-like quality to the being or person. And I just wanted to say I'm currently reading through Daniel so I think it's awesome you posted this because I read this chapter like 2 days ago! Love you David!
