What happened at Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah and the Fiery Furnace?

Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were the three young Hebrew men renamed Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego by King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon.

They were ordered by King Nebuchadnezzar to publicly bow down in worship of the idol he had made; however, they refused to do so out of their loyalty to God.

As a penalty, they were cast into an intensely hot oven but were miraculously saved by an angel sent from God.

Nebuchadnezzar then proclaimed that anyone who blasphemes God’s name will be put to death, and he praised God.
