Daniel Chapter 3 Vs. 19


The Fiery Furnace


Then was Nebuchadnezzar full of fury, and the form of his visage was changed against Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego: therefore he spake, and commanded that they should heat the furnace one seven times more than it was wont to be heated. Dan. 3:19

full of fury... When the king, full of rage, commanded the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual, he only magnified God all the more (Dan. 3:19, 3:25-28). In "The Song of the Three Holy Children" of the Apocrypha it is stated that the servants of Nebuchadnezzar kept throwing "rosin, pitch, tow, and small wood; so that the flame streamed forth above the furnace forty-nine cubits." This was 73 feet 6 inches. The fire was so hot that it killed those putting the men in the furnace (Dan. 3:22).
