26 Então Nabucodonosor aproximou-se da entrada da fornalha em chamas e gritou: “Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego, servos do Deus Altíssimo, saiam! Venham aqui!”E Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego saíram do fogo.

Daniel 3:26 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 3:26

Then Nebuchadnezzar came near to the mouth of the burning
fiery furnace
He came so nigh before, as to see at a distance four persons walking in it; now he comes nearer, as near as he could with safety: and spake and said, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, ye servants of
the most high God;
he not only spake to them in a different tone than he did before; not in wrath and fury, but mildly and gently, with great respect unto them, and reverence of them; and not only calls them by the names he and his courtiers had given them, but styles them the servants of the most high God; he owns their God was a God above his: the Chaldeans worshipped fire, but the God of the Jews had power over that, and could restrain the force of it at pleasure; and he acknowledges that these men were faithful worshippers of him; who had in this wonderful manner appeared for them, and thereby approved their faith and confidence in him, and their service of him; see ( Acts 16:17 ) : come forth, and come hither;
that is, come out of the furnace, and come to the place where I and my nobles are: then Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, came forth of the midst of the
fire;
as they had been cast into it by the king's order, therefore they did not presume to go out of it without the same; nor were they concerned about coming out; they had very agreeable and delightful company, and had reason to say it was good for them to be there; however, when they had the king's order, they immediately obeyed it.

Daniel 3:26 In-Context

24 Mas logo depois o rei Nabucodonosor, alarmado, levantou-se e perguntou aos seus conselheiros: “Não foram três os homens amarrados que nós atiramos no fogo?”Eles responderam: “Sim, ó rei”.

25 E o rei exclamou: “Olhem! Estou vendo quatro homens, desamarrados e ilesos, andando pelo fogo, e o quarto se parece com um filho dos deuses”.

26 Então Nabucodonosor aproximou-se da entrada da fornalha em chamas e gritou: “Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego, servos do Deus Altíssimo, saiam! Venham aqui!”E Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego saíram do fogo.

27 Os sátrapas, os prefeitos, os governadores e os conselheiros do rei se ajuntaram em torno deles e comprovaram que o fogo não tinha ferido o corpo deles. Nem um só fio de cabelo tinha sido chamuscado, os seus mantos não estavam queimados, e não havia cheiro de fogo neles.

28 Disse então Nabucodonosor: “Louvado seja o Deus de Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-Nego, que enviou o seu anjo e livrou os seus servos! Eles confiaram nele, desafiaram a ordem do rei, preferindo abrir mão de sua vida a prestar culto e adorar a outro deus que não fosse o seu próprio Deus.
