Daniel 3:25
_ _ four — whereas but three had been cast in.
_ _ loose — whereas they had been cast in “bound.” Nebuchadnezzar’s question, in Daniel 3:24, is as if he can scarcely trust his own memory as to a fact so recent, now that he sees through an aperture in the furnace what seems to contradict it.
_ _ walking in ... midst of ... fire — image of the godly unhurt, and at large (John 8:36), “in the midst of trouble” (Psalms 138:7; compare Psalms 23:3, Psalms 23:4). They walked up and down in the fire, not leaving it, but waiting for God’s time to bring them out, just as Jesus waited in the tomb as God’s prisoner, till God should let Him out (Acts 2:26, Acts 2:27). So Paul (2 Corinthians 12:8, 2 Corinthians 12:9). So Noah waited in the ark, after the flood, till God brought him forth (Genesis 8:12-18).
_ _ like the Son of God — Unconsciously, like Saul, Caiaphas (John 11:49-52), and Pilate, he is made to utter divine truths. “Son of God” in his mouth means only an “angel” from heaven, as Daniel 3:28 proves. Compare Job 1:6; Job 38:7; Psalms 34:7, Psalms 34:8; and the probably heathen centurion’s exclamation (Matthew 27:54). The Chaldeans believed in families of gods: Bel, the supreme god, accompanied by the goddess Mylitta, being the father of the gods; thus the expression he meant: one sprung from and sent by the gods. Really it was the “messenger of the covenant,” who herein gave a prelude to His incarnation. |
Daniel 3:25
No hurt — See how the God of nature can when he pleases control the powers of nature! The Son of God — Probably he had heard David speak of him. Jesus Christ, the Angel of the covenant, did sometimes appear before his incarnation. Those who suffer for Christ, have his gracious presence with them in their sufferings, even in the fiery furnace, even in the valley of the shadow of death, and therefore need fear no evil. |
Daniel 3:25
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the (k) Son of God.
(k) For the angels were called the sons of God because of their excellency. Therefore the king called this angel whom God sent to comfort his own in these great torments, the son of God. |
- walking:
Isaiah 43:2 When thou passest through the waters, I [will be] with thee; and through the rivers, they shall not overflow thee: when thou walkest through the fire, thou shalt not be burned; neither shall the flame kindle upon thee.

- they have no hurt:
- Chal, there is no hurt in them,
Psalms 91:3-9 Surely he shall deliver thee from the snare of the fowler, [and] from the noisome pestilence. ... Because thou hast made the LORD, [which is] my refuge, [even] the most High, thy habitation;

Acts 28:5 And he shook off the beast into the fire, and felt no harm.
1 Peter 3:13 And who [is] he that will harm you, if ye be followers of that which is good?

- the Son of God:
- Or, as bar elahin may be rendered, "a son of the gods," i.e., a divine person or angel.
Daniel 3:18 But if not, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.
Daniel 3:28 [Then] Nebuchadnezzar spake, and said, Blessed [be] the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, who hath sent his angel, and delivered his servants that trusted in him, and have changed the king's word, and yielded their bodies, that they might not serve nor worship any god, except their own God.
Job 1:6 Now there was a day when the sons of God came to present themselves before the LORD, and Satan came also among them.
Job 38:7 When the morning stars sang together, and all the sons of God shouted for joy?
Psalms 34:7 The angel of the LORD encampeth round about them that fear him, and delivereth them.
Proverbs 30:4 Who hath ascended up into heaven, or descended? who hath gathered the wind in his fists? who hath bound the waters in a garment? who hath established all the ends of the earth? what [is] his name, and what [is] his son's name, if thou canst tell?
Luke 1:35 And the angel answered and said unto her, The Holy Ghost shall come upon thee, and the power of the Highest shall overshadow thee: therefore also that holy thing which shall be born of thee shall be called the Son of God.
John 19:7-8 The Jews answered him, We have a law, and by our law he ought to die, because he made himself the Son of God. ... When Pilate therefore heard that saying, he was the more afraid;
Romans 1:4 And declared [to be] the Son of God with power, according to the spirit of holiness, by the resurrection from the dead:
