When the King ordered for those who do not worship his golden statue to be killed, Shadrah, Meschach and Abednergo were ordered to be burned in the furnace that would be heated up 7 times more than customary when they refused to worship the statue. After being put into the furnace the king stated “I see four men unbound, walking in the middle of the fire and they are not hurt; and the fourth has the appearance of a god” (Daniel 3:25). This demonstrates that with faith, God will always be with the Jews no matter where they are; supporting their decision of keeping their identity. Also, the king noticed that “the fire had not had any power over the bodies of those men; the hair of their heads were not singed, their tunics were not harmed, and not even the smell of fire came from them” (Daniel 3:27). This proves that even when it is risky to practice their faith in a foreign land, if they keep their Jewish identity no harm will be brought upon
