174. Internal Meaning of Daniel, Chapter 3

1-2 Babylon was minded to depart from the worship of the Lord to the worship of another god, which is the statue of gold set up by Nebuchadnezzar. (2)

3-7 All such agreed together, threatening all that they would otherwise be cast into hell. (2, 15)

8-12 Those rulers who worshipped the Lord did not obey; (11)

13-21 they were therefore excommunicated and condemned to hell by Babylon, together with all things of the Lord's church;, (3, 11)

22-25 but still no harm came to them, and it was clearly seen that they were protected by the Lord. (11)

26-30 Babylon was compelled by this to acknowledge and worship the Lord. (11)
