Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 3:19-23

Ah! wretched Nebuchadnezzar! how wilt thou endure the heated furnace of everlasting wrath! What! even if it had killed the faithful servants of the Lord, what would have been their sufferings for a few moments, which, in consuming, would soon have put them out of all pain, compared to thy torments in that lake whose smoke ascends forever and ever? A worm that never dies, and a fire that cannot be quenched! Here are torments that do not destroy. A second death which is endless, and of never... read more

Matthew Henry's Concise Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 3:19-27

19-27 Let Nebuchadnezzar heat his furnace as hot as he can, a few minutes will finish the torment of those cast into it; but hell-fire tortures, and yet does not kill. Those who worshipped the beast and his image, have no rest, no pause, no moment free from pain, Revelation 14:10; Revelation 14:11. Now was fulfilled in the letter that great promise, Isaiah 43:2, When thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned. Leaving it to that God who preserved them in the fire, to bring them... read more

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 3:1-99

Daniel 3 HOW LONG AN interval there was between the events narrated in chapters 2 and 3, we are not told, but we cannot resist the impression that there was a connection in the mind of Nebuchadnezzar between the image of his dream and the gigantic image, that he caused to be made. The image of his dream only began with a golden head, which represented himself. It was followed by a great image, which should be all of gold. Since the ancient cubit was the length of the human fore-arm anything... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 3:19-30

The Miraculous Preservation of God's Servants v. 19. Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, of extreme and unreasonable anger, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, his expression showing the extremity of the fury which possessed him; therefore he spake and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. He did not realize in the heat of his passion that he was really defeating his own ends; for the... read more

3. The test of the faith of Daniel’s three friends in the fiery furnace.Daniel 3:1-301Nebuchadnezzar the king made an image of gold, whose [its] height was threescore cubits, and the breadth thereof [its breadth] six cubits: he set it up in 2the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. Then [And] Nebuchadnezzar the king sent to gather together the princes [satraps], the governors, and the captains [pashas], the judges, the treasurers, the counsellors, the sheriffs [lawyers], and all the... read more

Alexander MacLaren's Expositions of Holy Scripture - Daniel 3:13-25

Daniel HARMLESS FIRES Dan_3:13 - Dan_3:25 . The way in which the ‘Chaldeans’ describe the three recusants, betrays their motive in accusing them. ‘Certain Jews whom thou hast set over the affairs of the province of Babylon’ could not but be envied and hated, since their promotion wounded both national pride and professional jealousy. The form of the accusation was skilfully calculated to rouse a despot’s rage. ‘They have not regarded thee’ is the head and front of their offending. The... read more

Loyalty Rewarded Daniel 3:19-30 It is only when we reach the fire that we become aware of the presence of the divine Companion, walking beside us as if treading the dew-besprinkled glades of Paradise. The Good Shepherd was there with His rod and staff. Loose , Daniel 3:25 , that is, the fire had consumed their bonds and nothing else. Hair would soonest catch the flame, but not a hair perished, Luke 12:7 ; Luke 21:18 . The yielded body of Daniel 3:28 reminds us of Romans 6:13 ; Romans 12:1-2... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 3:1-30

The next story is of the pride of Nebuchadnezzar in setting up in the plain of Dura a great golden image. This may have been connected with the interpretation of the dream Daniel had given. The head of gold in the image of Nebuchadnezzar's dream symbolized Babylon. Nebuchadnezzar's image was all of gold, and perhaps revealed his conception of the power of Babylon, and therefore was of the nature either of unbelief in the accuracy of the prediction or of rebellion against it. To this image he... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Daniel 3:1-30

Nebuchadnezzar's Image of Gold Daniel 3:1-30 INTRODUCTORY WORDS 1. Daniel in Babylon. (1) How Daniel came to be in Babylon. When Jerusalem was taken captive by Nebuchadnezzar, Daniel and the three Hebrew children were among those carried to Babylon. He found himself, with his three friends, chosen to be set aside for training, that they might be numbered among the Babylonian wise men. (2) How Daniel stood true as a youth. Daniel and his three friends did not yield to the orders of the king as... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 3:23

A FURNACE AND MEN IN IT‘These three men … I see four men.’ Daniel 3:23; Daniel 3:25 ( A sermon to children)This very interesting subject is very easily divided. I. The three in the furnace.—Why were there three? Was it because they did not serve God, or had fallen into some sin? Oh, no. Doing the right, then, sometimes brings God’s children into the furnace. Job’s friends told him that his sufferings were judgments and proofs that he was a great sinner. The Jerusalemites thought that the... read more
