Daniel 3 by Jerad File

Sometimes God doesn't take away the hard things... but He's always with us in them.In this message, Pastor Phil Kniesel shares how the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego reminds us that real faith isn't just believing God can, it's trusting Him even when He doesn't.When life feels heavy and uncertain, you can still find peace and strength in knowing God is in control and walking with you through the fire.Send us a text

Have you ever been in a situation requiring costly obedience to God? In this message from Daniel 3, we hear why it’s worth trusting God and obeying him, even in the face of severe pressure.

In 2 Chronicles 21 Jehoram succeeds his father Jehoshaphat and rules for 8 inglorious and evil years. Judah's king commences his reign by killing all his brothers. It was said of this king of Judah that he walked in the ways of the kings of Israel - this is because his wife was Athaliah, the daughter of Ahab and Jezebel. Edom revolts and sets up their own ruler. A letter comes from the prophet Elijah and strongly rebukes Jehoram and prophesies of the disease which would kill Jehoram - a disgusting sort of dysentery that causes his bowels to fall out after two years of suffering. During this time the Philistines and Arabians invade Judah and ransack the king's house. In 2 Chronicles 22 we read that the people of Judah make Ahaziah, the youngest son of Jehoram, king at the age of 22. Ahaziah is evil like his great grandfather Omri and was no doubt controlled and directed by his mother, Athaliah. King Joram, of Israel, makes war with the Syrians and is seriously wounded. Ahaziah goes to visit his uncle in Jezreel; where he is met and slain by Jehu; whom God had appointed to destroy all of Ahab's offspring. Ahaziah is buried out of respect for Jehoshaphat. Athaliah now takes control of the throne of Judah. Athaliah likewise destroys all the seed Royal in Judah with the exception of Joash, who was hidden in the temple for six years by his faithful aunt Jehoshabeath and her husband the high priest, Jehoiadah. Daniel 3 speaks of Nebuchadnezzar's defiance of the vision presented to him. On the plain of Dura, just outside Babylon, the Chaldean king sets up an image made entirely of gold. The height of this image is about 35 metres and its breadth 3.5 metres - these dimensions suggest it was probably placed on a plinth. All the dignitaries from every province which king Nebuchadnezzar ruled were assembled and commanded to bow down and worship when the orchestra plays. The penalty for disobeying would be to be cast into a fiery furnace. Daniel's 3 friends disobey the king. These three friends were not prepared to submit to the command of a mere mortal man when there was a greater principle at stake - "we ought to obey God rather than man" (Acts 5 verse29). These faithful servants of Yahweh are given a second opportunity to comply. They politely refuse and are cast into the furnace, which was so hot that it kills the officers who cast them into the furnace. The three faithful men walk around in the furnace. The king sees withthem a fourth individual - the angel of God. When they emerge from the furnace they were not even singed, nor could the smell of fire be detected. Nebuchadnezzar is astounded and commands that all of his realm the worship the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego - read aloud verses 28-30 Pause and Ponder. (Daniel must not have been present in Babylon at this time). Acts is Luke's second account - compare Luke 1 verses 1-4 with Acts 1 verses 1-3. Luke 24 closes with Jesus' ascension compare that to account the Acts 1 account which commences with the same event. Luke's first record closes with Jesus praying as he is taken to heaven as does Acts 1. For 40 days Jesus spoke with his disciples of the kingdom of God on earth, as the reconstituted kingdom of Israel. The only question the Apostles had was "Is the time for the kingdom now?" The time, as verse 7 indicates, is known only by Jesus' Father. By AD 96 when the book of Revelation is written Jesus then knew this time. But based on Jesus' commission for them to preach to the entire world it would obviously be some time distant. And following the words of the angels in recorded in verses 9-11 that kingdom would not come until our Lord's return to earth. From verses 12 to 26 a replacement is appointed for Judas, whose behaviour was the subject of prophecy - Psalm 109:8 (in fact it is instructive to read the entire Psalm as it will provide us with an insight as to what motivated Judas). That successor is named as Matthias.

In Daniel 3, King Nebuchadnezzar commands all to worship a massive golden image, threatening death in a fiery furnace for refusal. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to bow, remaining loyal to God. They are thrown into the furnace but are miraculously unharmed, and a fourth figure appears with them. Seeing their deliverance, Nebuchadnezzar praises the God who saved them and decrees His honor throughout the kingdom.Support this podcast at — https://redcircle.com/lets-talk-scripture/donations

What do we do when the heat around us rises and our allegiance to God is tested? This week, we're continuing our Fall Bible Study on Daniel: Living Right Side Up in an Upside Down World. Nicole walks with us through Daniel 3—the fiery furnace moment with Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Using the ALIVE Method (What does it say? What’s the backstory? What does it mean? What does it mean for me?), Nicole shows how this ancient story speaks directly to modern disciples who feel pressure to assimilate to cultural idols. Key theme: Perspective matters. True allegiance shows when pressure rises. The three friends’ confession—“even if He does not”—models a courageous, non-anxious faith that resists idolatry and trusts God’s authority over our trials. In this episode, Nicole covers: How to read Daniel 3 with the ALIVE Method so you see the text, its context, its timeless truth, and its personal application. Why allegiance precedes outcomes: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego’s “even if He does not” (Daniel 3:18) courage shows faith isn’t transactional. Idolatry isn’t only “bad things”: As Tim Keller noted, a good thing that becomes an ultimate thing is an idol. Even noble causes, work, or ministry can become ultimate. (From Keller’s teaching on counterfeits; see Counterfeit Gods for a deeper dive) What to do when the heat rises: Don’t panic—pray. Seek community and God’s wisdom (cf. Daniel 2). How to interpret miracles and suffering: Miracles are a sign of God’s authority; they don’t establish it. And Scripture prepares us not to be surprised by “fiery ordeals.” Living in “Babylon” today: Practice holy resistance without withdrawal—hold firm convictions with humility, love, and clarity. Modern idolatry and competing allegiances: how to spot them, surrender them, and seek God’s kingdom first.

Have you ever felt pressure to compromise your faith—to bow to something other than God? Babylon represents the culture of compromise, calling us to trade faithfulness for comfort. In Daniel 3, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego refuse to bow to Nebuchadnezzar's golden image, even when threatened with the fiery furnace. Their story reminds us of this truth: Faithfulness means resistance. Resolve leads to resilience. And our refuge is not found in avoiding the fire, but in walking with Jesus through it.

Send me a Text Message!Yep, you're right. It's not even the book of James. But I felt like the message this weekend that I gave on Shadrach, Mesach and Abednego meeting God in the fire, was worth giving to more people. So rather than moving onto James 5, this one is going all the way back to the Old Testament book of Daniel. It's the message I gave this weekend. If you listened to it all ready last weekend, maybe God wants you to ponder it one more time. :)Sometimes God saves us from the fire, sometimes He meets us in the fire. But we never go through the fire alone!

How do we follow the Lord in a world that is increasingly hostile to Him? Today we look at Daniel 3 and learn some key principles from the faithfulness of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego and see that sometimes obedience to God means civil disobedience to the world.
