Daniel 3:8-30
When you disobey Satan like the three Hebrew boys did in our text passage, he gets angry and seeks to destroy like Nebuchadnezzer sought to do to those Hebrew boys.
The disregard of king Nebuchadnezzer's command to bow to the image he had set up is a disregard of Satan by the Hebrew boys, for it was Satan that was at work in Nebuchadnezzer at the time, it was Satan who was trying to get the worship that belongs to God through Nebuchadnezzer's ego and image.
Satan like Nebuchadnezzer wants you to regard him.
Nebuchadnezzer's attempt to destroy Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-Nego did not prevail because the 4th Man showed up!
When the 4th Man shows up in your fire-like experience the flames of that fire become tamed.

When the 4th Man shows up the supernatural and unusual occurs.

When the 4th Man shows up, your respect will be restored and increased.

When the 4th Man appears, promises made to us by God and prophecies about us are fulfilled.

When the 4th Man intervenes in our matter we are justified, vindicated, and changed for the better.
After their fiery furnace ordeal, those Hebrew boys were justified and vindicated in standing up to the Babylonian king.
Their lives changed for the better.
The fiery furnace experience must have changed those Hebrew boys for the better, it's an experience that must have boosted their confidence in God and left a positive mark on their souls.
The woman caught in the act of adultery was justified by Jesus, vindicated by Jesus and she was left changed for the better.
Jesus Christ is the 4th Man in the fiery furnace with the three Hebrew boys.
He was the helper of the woman caught in the act of adultery, and He hasn't changed.
John 8:1-11
Jesus proved to her accusers they are not better than her, the law they tried to use to justify killing her and to put Jesus in a tight spot was imperfect, and their view is very one sided.
It was a view that was not favorable to the female gender and absolved men from the consequence of wrong doing. After all the woman committed adultery with a man and the man was not being harassed or considered for death.
May the 4th Man show up with His wonders in our fire!
