The story of the Fiery Furnace is a biblical tale from the book of Daniel about three Jewish men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who were thrown into a furnace by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon for refusing to worship a golden statue. Despite being bound and thrown into the furnace, they were miraculously unharmed and even seen walking around in the furnace with a fourth figure, identified as an angel sent by God to protect them.
