EDITORS COMMENTS
This 18th century illustration depicts the biblical story of The Fiery Furnace and the Golden Image of Nebuchanezzar. The scene unfolds with King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon, an iconic figure of the Old Testament, standing before his golden image, a monumental sculpture representing his divine authority. The King, known for his insatiable pride and power, demanded that all his subjects worship the image when the music played. Three Hebrew men, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, refused to comply with the King's decree, risking their lives for their unwavering faith in their God. In retaliation, Nebuchanezzar ordered the furnace to be heated seven times hotter than usual. The men were bound and thrown into the Fiery Furnace, a symbol of destruction and death. The illustration beautifully captures the moment when the Hebrew men, unharmed and surrounded by an ethereal aura, are discovered by the astonished King. The scene is filled with a sense of wonder and awe, as the King witnesses the power and faith of these three men. The story of The Fiery Furnace and the Golden Image of Nebuchanezzar is a powerful reminder of the strength and resilience of faith, even in the face of adversity and persecution. This enchanting illustration, from the Reuben Luke Collection at Mary Evans Picture Library, is a testament to the enduring power of biblical stories and their ability to inspire and captivate audiences across generations.
