Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 3:15

15 Now if ye be ready, that at what time ye hear the sound of the cornet, flute, harp, sackbut, psaltery, and dulcimer, and all kinds of musick, ye fall down and worship the image which I have made, well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands ?

Prodigious pride and blasphemy, for he doth not only insult over all gods in general, but particularly against the only true God, whom he lately confessed chap. 2.47. to be a God of gods, and a Lord of Kings; so the King of Assyria, 2 Kings 18.30, 33. Thus all the Tyrants of the East, Turk, Mogul; Cham, whose very Titles are blasphemy; Its a wonder why these men Worship any God, seeing they set up themselves above all. Reason of State makes them set up somewhat to keep the people in awe, they themselves are exempt, and care for none. The root of Nebuchadnezzars arrogance lay chiefly here, he had burnt the Temple of the Iewes god, and made slaves of his people, and he did not deliver either, and therefore thought he could not; and so presumes the same now; but God will make him quickly of another mind.
