Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning fiery furnace: he spoke and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, you servants of the Most High God, come forth, and come here. Then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego came forth out of the midst of the fire.

Verse Takeaways

1

Forced Acknowledgment

Commentators highlight Nebuchadnezzar's stunning reversal. He calls the God of the three men "the Most High God," publicly admitting His supremacy. John Calvin clarifies this isn't a true conversion but a confession forced by an undeniable miracle. It shows that God's power is so great that He can compel even His most arrogant enemies to declare His glory.
