Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 3:20

20 And he commanded the most mighty men that were in his army, to bind Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego, and to cast them into the burning fiery furnace.

What did he think these three men would have resisted? or that their God would defend them from this power, or that if he had, that the King and his mighty men could have prevailed, none of all this was in the case, for God purposed to shew his power, when the King did his worst, and to quench the violence of the fire, both of the Furnace, and of the Kings fury at once; and in the thing wherein he dealt proudly, to be above him.
