Daniel 3:18 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:18

But if not
If our God does not think fit to exert his power, and deliver us, which we are well assured he is able to do; if it is not his will, we are content, we are resigned unto it: be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods,
be it as it will, whether we are delivered or not; we are not sure of the one, but we are at a point as to the other: nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up;
come life, come death, we are ready; we had rather die than sin: they were all of one mind, and agreed in this matter; a noble instance of spiritual fortitude and courage!

Daniel 3:18 In-Context

16 Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego responderam ao rei: “Ó Nabucodonosor, não precisamos defender-nos diante de ti.
17 Se formos atirados na fornalha em chamas, o Deus a quem prestamos culto pode livrar-nos, e ele nos livrará das tuas mãos, ó rei.
18 Mas, se ele não nos livrar, saiba, ó rei, que não prestaremos culto aos teus deuses nem adoraremos a imagem de ouro que mandaste erguer”.
19 Nabucodonosor ficou tão furioso com Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego, que o seu semblante mudou. Deu ordens para que a fornalha fosse aquecida sete vezes mais que de costume
20 e ordenou que alguns dos soldados mais fortes do seu exército amarrassem Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego e os atirassem na fornalha em chamas.
