Where did he go??

[Tree Phantom]

A question came up- where was Daniel,when Shadrach,Meshach,and Abed-Nego was thrown into the fiery furnace?

[Swampa]

I'm not sure, my original answer probably wasn't right.

Bump for someone more knowledgable than me

[Ouch]

After interpreting Nebuchadnezzar's dream, Daniel was promoted to reign over Babylon. Upon his urging, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-Nego were promoted also, but Daniel "sat in the king's gate."

When the heralds and scholars (by Neb's order) ordered the people of Babylon to worship the golden idol, Daniel wasn't present, so those three were the only ones who were found to be in disobedience of Nebuchadneezzar's orders... and thereby cast into the fiery furnace.

Or something like that.

The Bible doesn't say, but if I were to guess, I'd say that because of Daniel's elevated position, he was probably somewhere in the palace taking it easy, and didn't have to turn out to worship the golden statue.

Don't think Daniel was taking it easy as 3 followers of the Lord were thrown into the fire. I bet he was on his knees praying like a mad man.

but that is nothing to debate

scripture doesn't say

or he wasn't there at the time.

Lord was saving him for lions

From my understanding, either he wasn't there or he was considered to be in a higher position. That's about all I can offer.

Ok,thanks, could he be the fourth figure in the fire? Nebuchadnezzar said the fourth looked like the "Son of God", but that was a guess as we know and the fourth never came out.

No that 4th was the Holy Spirit.....
