caller_to_truth said:
24 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astonied, and rose up in haste,
and spake, and said unto his counsellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire? They answered and said unto the king, True, O king.
25 He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace,
and spake, and said,
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come
hither. Then
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
Who was the fourth man? The Son of GOD? and why did he stay in the Fire? Why was he in the fire in the First place?
Did the Son of GOD end up in the Fire?
Have a nice day
I agree with Chris. The fourth was probably an angel and who said he stayed in the fire. The NASB says .25 He answered and said, "Look! I see four men loosed and walking about in the midst of the fire without harm, and the appearance of the fourth is like a son of the gods!" The king James said he had the appearance of the son of God and the NASB says he looked like the son of the gods. The king James didn't say he was the son of God and the NASB didn't say he was a son of the gods, but he looked like he could be. Since nobody knows what the true God looks like nebachannzzar had to be talking about his gods. The fourth man looked like he could have been a son to nebachanezzars gods. I think that was to make an impression on Nebuchanezzar because God uses him. Did you read these verses?
26 Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace, and spake, and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of the most high God, come forth, and come hither. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the fire.
27 And the princes, governors, and captains, and the king's counsellors, being gathered together, saw these men, upon whose bodies the fire had no power, nor was an hair of their head singed, neither were their coats changed, nor the smell of fire had passed on them.
28 Then Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed be the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
29 Therefore I make a decree, That every people, nation, and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
30 Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, in the province of Babylon.
4:1 Nebuchadnezzar the king, unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth; Peace be multiplied unto you.
2 I thought it good to show the signs and wonders that the high God hath wrought toward me.
3 How great are his signs! and how mighty are his wonders! his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and his dominion is from generation to generation. Then he has a series of dreams in which he sees the whole span of human history, or at least a large part of it, I think God knows what He's doing.
