When King Nebuchadnezzar could not recall the dream he had the night before, he summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to tell him both the dream and its interpretation. However, nobody could tell the dream, saying, “No one except the gods can reveal it.” King Nebuchadnezzar, being infuriated, ordered all the wise men of Babylon to be killed. Daniel and his three friends, who believed in God, were also in danger of being killed. However, God revealed both the dream and its interpretation to Daniel. The dream involved a statue made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and a mixture of iron and clay, symbolizing the kingdoms that would arise after Babylon. | When King Nebuchadnezzar could not recall the dream he had the night before, he summoned the magicians, enchanters, sorcerers, and astrologers to tell him both the dream and its interpretation.

King Nebuchadnezzar made a large golden statue and commanded people to bow to the golden statue whenever they heard the sound of instruments. He commanded that those who did not bow down would be thrown into a blazing fiery furnace. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego did not bow down to the end. The enraged king threw them into the fiery furnace, heated seven times hotter than usual. God sent an angel to protect Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. When King Nebuchadnezzar saw the three men without a single hair on their heads singed and without a smell of fire, he praised God and elevated their status. | King Nebuchadnezzar made a large golden statue and commanded people to bow to the golden statue whenever they heard the sound of instruments.
