Daniel 3:24-26 Then Nebuchadnezzar the king was astounded and rose up in haste and spake unto his councellors, Did not we cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?…And 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.

Therefore I make a decree, that every people, nation and language, which speak any thing amiss against the God of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, shall be cut in pieces, and their houses shall be made a dunghill: because there is no other God that can deliver after this sort.
Daniel 4:34 And at the end of days, I Nebuchadnezzar lifted up my eyes unto heaven, and my understanding returned unto me, and I blessed the the most High, and I praised and honored Him that liveth forever whose dominion is an everlasting dominion and His kingdom is from generation to generation.
