Who was the fourth man in the fire in Daniel 3? In this video, we break down the story of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego in the fiery furnace and answer the big question: was the fourth figure Jesus, an angel, or another heavenly being? Daniel 3 says King Nebuchadnezzar looked into the furnace and saw not three men, but four men walking in the fire. Many Christians believe this was a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ, often called a Christophany. Others argue the text points more simply to an angel sent by God. Both views appear regularly in current Bible-study discussion of the passage.
