Daniel 3:25 He answered and said, See, I see four men loose, walking in the middle of the fire, and they have no hurt… The flame recogised the presence of Him that made it, and bowed reverently before the Son of God, just as on other occasions the waters of the sea owned Him, the winds heard Him, and all nature responded to Him, and obeyed Him. The flame lost its power to consume, because it was commanded not to do so by Him that kindled it at the first. Nature is all pliant in the hand of Jesus. He is the Lord of creation; He has but to speak, and all things will respond in ten thousand echoes, "Speak, Lord thy servants hear." These Hebrew youths, we are told by the apostle Paul in his Epistle to the Hebrews, "quenched the violence of fire" by their faith. (J. Cumming.) Parallel Verses KJV: He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God. |
