Shadrach, Meschach, and Abednego. We have all likely heard the retelling of their story. These three men refused to bow down to King Nebuchadnezzar's golden statue which resulted in the king throwing the men into a fiery furnace.
But before the king sent the men to their ultimate doom, he gave them one more chance to obey him.
Nebuchadnezzar asked them, “Shadrach, Meshach, and
Abednego, is it true that you don’t serve my gods or worship
the gold statue I have set up? Now if you’re ready, when you
hear the sound of the horn, flute, zither, lyre, harp, drum,
and every kind of music, fall down and worship the statue I
made. But if you don’t worship it, you will immediately be
thrown into a furnace of blazing fire— and who is the god
who can rescue you from my power?”
Daniel 3:14-15 CSB
The men knew this was their last chance. They also knew if they didn't obey the king's command, they would die. They could have simply bowed down to the king when the music began and saved their lives.
