3:19 Full of Fury - Demonic – Possessed -An account of something evil that presents itself – He is no longer himself he’s been takin’ over by an eveil force.

Shadrach – Hananiah Meshach – Mishael Abednego – Azariah

Furnace - This furnace would be in constant requisition, for the Babylonians disposed of their dead by cremation, as did also the Accadians who invaded Mesopotamia.

3:20 – Bind – There bound because He knows that there is a possibility they might get out. God Is not the God of Chances

3:21 – 3 Bound and thrown in - Bound in all there clothes for a quick and complete burning (Furnance Turned up 7 Time Hotter)

2) There is the furnace that Satan prepares

3) There is the furnace that God prepares

3:22 - Therefore because the king’s commandment was urgent, and the furnace exceeding hot, the flame of the fire slew those men that took up Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Those who take you to a trial outside of God’s desire will perish when you won’t

3:23 – Fell down bound into the midst of the burning fiery furnance – Only to get freed
