 INT. KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S COURT - DAY

King Nebuchadnezzar sits on his throne, surrounded by his advisors and

subordinates. SHADRACH, MESHACH, and ABEDNEGO, devout Hebrews, stand
before the king.

KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
You, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, will bow down and worship the
golden statue I have erected. Failure to comply will result in your execution.

SHADRACH
(Resolutely)
O King, we cannot worship any false gods. Our allegiance is to the one true
God of Israel.

MESHACH
We will not bow before your statue, even if it costs us our lives.

The subordinates and advisors murmur amongst themselves, shocked by their

boldness.

SUBORDINATE 1
How dare they defy the king's orders?

SUBORDINATE 2
They must be taught a lesson. No one disobeys Nebuchadnezzar!

KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
So be it. If you do not worship the statue, you will be cast into the fiery furnace.
Let it be known!

INT. FIERY FURNACE - DAY

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego are thrown into the fiery furnace by the
king's soldiers. The flames roar around them, yet they remain unharmed.

SHADRACH
(With faith)
God of Israel, protect us in this trial. We trust in your divine power.

 MESHACH
God is with us, even in the midst of these flames. We will not falter.

ABEDNEGO
Our faith will not be shaken, no matter the outcome.

EXT. FIERY FURNACE - DAY

The gathered crowd, consisting of Nebuchadnezzar's subordinates, advisors, and

curious onlookers, watches in amazement as they witness the miracle unfolding.

SUBORDINATE 3
Look! They're walking freely in the midst of the flames, unscathed!

ADVISOR 1
This is a sign from their God. We should fear the power they possess.

KING NEBUCHADNEZZAR
(Overwhelmed by awe)
Did we not throw three men into the fire? But I see a fourth figure, like a divine
being. Release them at once!

 INT. FIERY FURNACE - DAY

Crowd of spectators: This cannot be true, they truly are chosen by the only God.

Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego step out of the furnace, untouched by the
flames. They are embraced by their fellow Hebrews.

HEBREW 1
Praise be to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! His power has saved
them!

HEBREW 2
Their unwavering faith has been rewarded. We are witnesses to a great miracle.

SHADRACH
(With gratitude)
We are humbled by the protection and deliverance our God has shown us.
