Description

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego stand upright before the golden image of Babylon while a vast assembly bows to the ground around them. From an elevated view, the towering idol casts its shadow across the plain, emphasizing the contrast between public pressure and covenant faithfulness. The three Hebrews remain distinct in the open space near the statue, refusing to worship the image commanded by King Nebuchadnezzar.

The scene draws from Daniel 3, where the king’s officials, musicians, and peoples of the empire were ordered to bow when the music sounded. The three young exiles answered that God was able to deliver them, yet even if He did not, they would not serve the king’s gods. This artwork highlights steadfast obedience, idolatry confronted, and faithful witness under persecution, making it suited for teaching on courage, worship, youth ministry, exile, and trust in God.

Scriptures	Daniel 3:1-7 Daniel 3:12 Daniel 3:16-18 Daniel 3 1 King Nebuchadnezzar made an image of gold, whose height was sixty cubits and its breadth six cubits. He set it up on the plain of Dura, in the province of Babylon. 2 Then King Nebuchadnezzar sent to gather the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 3 Then the satraps, the prefects, and the governors, the counselors, the treasurers, the justices, the magistrates, and all the officials of the provinces gathered for the dedication of the image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. And they stood before the image that Nebuchadnezzar had set up. 4 And the herald proclaimed aloud, “You are commanded, O peoples, nations, and languages, 5 that when you hear the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, you are to fall down and worship the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar has set up. 6 And whoever does not fall down and worship shall immediately be cast into a burning fiery furnace.” 7 Therefore, as soon as all the peoples heard the sound of the horn, pipe, lyre, trigon, harp, bagpipe, and every kind of music, all the peoples, nations, and languages fell down and worshiped the golden image that King Nebuchadnezzar had set up. Daniel 3 12 There are certain Jews whom you have appointed over the affairs of the province of Babylon: Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. These men, O king, pay no attention to you; they do not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.” Daniel 3 16 Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego answered and said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we have no need to answer you in this matter. 17 If this be so, our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of your hand, O king. 18 But if not, be it known to you, O king, that we will not serve your gods or worship the golden image that you have set up.”
