He will pay back trouble to those who give you trouble.He will help you who are troubled. And he will also help us. All these things will happen when the Lord Jesus appears from heaven. He will come in blazing fire. He will come with his powerful angels.He will punish those who don’t know God. He will punish those who don’t obey the good news about our Lord Jesus.They will be destroyed forever. They will be shut out of heaven. They will never see the glory of the Lord’s strength.All these things will happen when he comes. On that day his glory will be seen in his holy people. Everyone who has believed will be amazed when they see him. This includes you, because you believed the witness we gave you.

Even if we knew that our God wouldn’t save us, we still wouldn’t serve your gods. We wouldn’t worship the gold statue you set up.”Then Nebuchadnezzar was very angry with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. The look on his face changed. And he ordered that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than usual.He also gave some of the strongest soldiers in his army a command. He ordered them to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Then he told his men to throw them into the blazing furnace.So they were tied up. Then they were thrown into the furnace. They were wearing their robes, pants, turbans and other clothes.The king’s command was carried out quickly. The furnace was so hot that its flames killed the soldiers who threw Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego into it.So the three men were firmly tied up. And they fell into the blazing furnace.Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet. He was so amazed he asked his advisers,“ Didn’t we tie up three men? Didn’t we throw three men into the fire?” They replied,“ Yes, we did, Your Majesty.”The king said,“ Look! I see four men walking around in the fire. They aren’t tied up. And the fire hasn’t even harmed them. The fourth man looks like a son of the gods.”Then the king approached the opening of the blazing furnace. He shouted,“ Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, come out! You who serve the Most High God, come here!” So they came out of the fire.
