In the book of Daniel chapter 3 we read that King Nebuchadnezzar had a 90 foot tall statue make of himself. He sent a herald out proclaiming the command to "all the people, nations and languages" that they fall down and worship the golden image. This command also came with a certain swift death penalty if not obeyed.

There were three young men out of that entire Babylonian kingdom that refused to bow down to that image. They were brought before that dreadful, temperamental, pride-filled king who demanded they fall down and worship the golden image. King Nebuchadnezzar, knew who they were, and what kind of stalwart persons they were, that they would not bow down before it and worship. So King Nebuchadnezzar offered them a way out, but they steadfastly refused to bow. Seven times in this chapter we see the words, "fall down, fell down, fallen down."

There are seven times we see the words spoken by that king referring to his golden image..."that I have set up." We see a war. The seventh "fell down" was in the oven that was heated seven times hotter. It slew King Nebuchadnezzar's mightiest men of his army. But the three young men Shadrach, Meshech and Abednego were cast in and "fell down bound." Immediately the king saw a fourth one, "Like that of the Son of God." I believe they fell down at His presence because the pre-incarnate Christ was already in there, in that seven-times-hotter fire. I do not believe they fell down from being cast in. The whole chapter is about worship.

They fell down bound at the feet of Jesus by their own accord. The Son of God loosed them, and walked around with them in the fire. They were delivered because they trusted in him, changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God. These are the six things that must be steadfast in you and me.

There will always be an evil idolatrous golden image set up in our lives in one way or another, along with threatening demand that we fall down in forced obeisance before it. We are always going to find our faith so to speak being tried by fire. Never bow, never fall down to anything of this world. Never surrender to the enemy. Always reserve and keep your holy integrity, and fall down before Jesus Christ our Great God and King only.

"Now unto the King eternal, immortal, invisible, the only wise God, be honour and glory for ever and ever. Amen."
