3. DANIEL 2
10 The astrologers answered the king,
“There is no one on earth who can do what
the king asks! No king, however great and
mighty, has ever asked such a thing of any
magician or enchanter or astrologer. 

4. DANIEL 2
11 What the king asks is too difficult. No one
can reveal it to the king except the gods, and
they do not live among humans.

5. Daniel 3 - The image of Gold and the Fiery Furnace

6. DANIEL 3
3 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of
gold, sixty cubits high and six cubits wide, 
and set it up on the plain of Dura in the
province of Babylon.

8. DANIEL 3
4 Then the herald loudly proclaimed,
“Nations and peoples of every language, 
this is what you are commanded to do: 
5 As soon as you hear the sound of the horn,
flute, zither, lyre, harp, pipe and all kinds of
music, you must fall down and worship the

9. DANIEL 3
image of gold that King Nebuchadnezzar
has set up. 6 Whoever does not fall down
and worship will immediately be thrown
into a blazing furnace.”

11. DANIEL 2
48 Then the king placed Daniel in a high 
position and lavished many gifts on him.
He made him ruler over the entire province
of Babylon and placed him in charge of all its
wise men. 

12. DANIEL 2
49 Moreover, at Daniel’s request
the king appointed Shadrach, Meshach and
Abednego administrators over the province
of Babylon, while Daniel himself remained
at the royal court.

14. DANIEL 3
2 He (Nebuchadnezzar) then summoned the
satraps, prefects, governors, advisers,
treasurers, judges, magistrates and all the
other provincial officials to come to the
dedication of the image he had set up. 

15. DANIEL 3
3 So the satraps, prefects, governors,
advisers, treasurers, judges, magistrates
and all the other provincial officials
assembled for the dedication of the image
that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up, and
stood before it.

19. Psalm 119 v 105
Your word is a lamp for my feet,
a light on my path

20. Hebrews 5:12-14
12 In fact, though by this time you ought to
be teachers, you need someone to teach
you the elementary truths of God’s word
all over again. You need milk, not solid
food! 13 Anyone who lives on milk, being

21. Hebrews 5:12-14
still an infant, is not acquainted with the
teaching about righteousness. 14 But solid
food is for the mature, who by constant
use have trained themselves to distinguish
good from evil.

23. DANIEL 3
16 Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego replied
to him, “King Nebuchadnezzar, we do not
need to defend ourselves before you in this
matter. 17 If we are thrown into the blazing
furnace, the God we serve is able to deliver 
us from it, and he will deliver us from Your

24. DANIEL 3
Majesty’s hand. 18 But even if he does not,
we want you to know, Your Majesty, that
we will not serve your gods or worship the
image of gold you have set up.”

26. John 14 v 6
Jesus answered,
“I am the way and the truth and the life.
No one comes to the Father
except through me.

27. James 1 v 5
If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask
God, who gives generously to all without
finding fault, and it will be given to you.

29. DANIEL 3
26 Nebuchadnezzar then approached the
opening of the blazing furnace and shouted,
“Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, servants
of the Most High God, come out! Come here!”

30. DANIEL 3
So Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego came
out of the fire, 27 and the satraps, prefects,
governors and royal advisers crowded
around them. They saw that the fire had
not harmed their bodies, nor was a hair of

31. DANIEL 3
their heads singed; their robes were not
scorched, and there was no smell of fire
on them.
