Sadraque, Meshach and Abednego are biblical characters known for their courage and faith during the Babylonian period. His story is recorded in the Book of Daniel, in the Old Testament of the Bible. In Babylon, King Nebuchadnezzar II ordered that a golden statue be erected and that all bow down and worship the statue when they heard the musical instruments. No entanto, Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-nego, Young Hebrews faithful to God, refused to worship the statue because they considered it a violation of the commandment not to worship idols. King Nebuchadnezzar was furious and threatened to throw them into a fiery furnace if they did not submit to his command. The three young men boldly responded that they trusted God and were willing to face the consequences. Disseram que, even if God didn't save them from the furnace, They would not worship other gods. Enfurecido, o rei ordenou que a fornalha fosse aquecida sete vezes mais do que o normal. Sadraque, Meshach and Abednego were thrown into the furnace, mas Deus interveio e os protegeu. O rei, surpreendido, saw not three, mas quatro figuras andando no fogo, Recognizing the Divine Presence. They came out unscathed, without even smelling smoke on his clothes. O rei reconheceu o poder do Deus dos hebreus e promoveu Sadraque, Mesaque e Abede-nego em sua corte. This story is seen as a testament to God's faithfulness and protection for those who remain faithful in the midst of adversity and do not compromise their faith.
