King
Nebuchadnezzar of ancient Babylon cast
the three Israelite men Shadrach, Meshach
and Abednego into the fiery furnace as a
punishment when they refused to bow down
and worship the golden idol he had
created. But the three men's faith was
strong. The Angel of the Lord came down
to protect them, even in the midst of the
flames, and so they emerged from the
trial unscathed.
Conversely, the fire may be interpreted
as a powerful force emanating from the
three young men, who defiantly refuse to
compromise their faith for falsehood.
"Deh cast dem in de
fiyah but dem neva get burn...!"
