Nebuchadnezzar creates a golden image and commands all men to worship it. Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego refuse and are cast into the fiery furnace. They are preserved and come out unharmed. Daniel interprets Nebuchadnezzar’s dream of the great tree, describing the king’s fall and madness. The king learns that the Most High rules and sets the basest of men over earthly kingdoms. Belshazzar and his revelers drink from the vessels of the temple. A hand writes upon the wall, telling of Belshazzar’s downfall. Daniel interprets the words and reproves the king for pride and idolatry. That night Babylon is conquered.
