Despite the fact that we know these three Hebrew young men as Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, those were their Babylonian names. Their genuine names — their Hebrew names were really Hananiah, and that signifies "Yah is charitable"; Mishael, and that signifies "who is what God is"; and Azariah, and that signifies "Yah has made a difference."

World War 2 Battle of Dunkirk code But if not?
It is an allusion to the Book of Daniel (Daniel 3:18), where Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego tell the Babylonian King, Nebuchadnezzer, that they would rather die than worship a false god. The men at Dunkirk sent the message stating that should not they be saved, that they would still not worship the false god (Fascism in this instance) but would die in triumph knowing that their belief would eventually take the day.

How old were Shadrach Meshach and Abednego when they entered the fiery furnace?
The account of this experience can be found at Daniel 3:1-30. Based on the admonition given at Exodus 20:4+5, the worshipers of YHWH (the God of the Jews) would not bow to or worship an idol of any kind. King Nebuchadnezzar, however, demanded that these boys do just that. When they refused, they were punished by being thrown into the fire.(Daniel 3:14-20)
What is the age of Hananiah from the book of Daniel in the Bible?
A physical age is not mentioned except that he was a young man - perhaps a teenager. Additionally, there is no "age of Hananiah" as such mentioned in the book of Daniel. Hananiah was one of the notable Jewish trio from the Bible known as Shadrach [Hananiah], Meshach [Mishael], and Abednego [Azariah] of the famous "fiery furnace" in the 3rd chapter of Daniel's account.However, the account does record a "three-year period" of training that Daniel and his three companions underwent that may be construed as an "age"... although Hananiah doesn't stick out any more than the others in this matter to have it assigned as "his alone.""...the king ordered Ashpenaz, who was in charge of the palace officials, to bring to the palace some of the young men of Judah's royal family and other noble families, who had been brought to Babylon as captives... 'Make sure they are well versed in every branch of learning, are gifted with knowledge and good sense, and have the poise needed to serve in the royal palace. Teach these young men the language and literature of the Babylonians.'" (Dan.1:3-4 NLT New Living Translation)"Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah were four of the young men chosen, all from the tribe of Judah." (verse 6)"When the three-year training period ordered by the king was completed, the chief official brought all the young men to King Nebuchadnezzar. The king talked with each of them, and none of them impressed him as much as Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah. So they were appointed to his regular staff of advisers. In all matters requiring wisdom and balanced judgment, the king found the advice of these young men to be ten times better than that of all the magicians and enchanters in his entire kingdom..." (verses 18-20).The only other possible "age of Hananiah" might be assigned to what came later to the youthful "Jewish trio" in chapter 3... but which would no more be the "age ofHananiah" than the "age of Mishael" or the "age of Azariah" also.[Although I still wonder why Daniel wasn't thrown into the furnace, too... because he wouldn't have worshiped the statue, either. Perhaps the king's immediate palace officials, of whom Daniel was one, were exempt.] At any rate... as a result of this famous account:"...Nebuchadnezzar said, 'Praise to the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego! He sent His angel to rescue His servants who trusted in Him. They defied the king's command and were willing to die rather than serve or worship any god except their own God. Therefore, I make this decree: If any people, whatever their race or nation or language, speak a word against the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego, they will be torn limb from limb, and their houses will be crushed into heaps of rubble. There is no other god who can rescue like this!' Then the king promoted Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego to even higher positions in the province of Babylon." (Dan.3:28-30 NLT)So, while our reading of Daniel's account, today, may not prompt us to refer to any of it as "the age of Hananiah" -- those who lived at that time, and who fell under the authority of any of those three powerful Jews of sudden "high position in the province of Babylon" may well have felt the pressure of the moment, and thought of the period in which they were living as "the age of Shadrach," [Hananiah]; or "the age of Meshach, [Mishael];" or "the age of Abednego. [Azariah]"But the biblical account makes no such distinction.
Why were shadrach meshach abednego's names changed?
One thought:In the ancient world, a name change was not unusual when a significant change took place in a person's life (Abram - Abraham/ Jacob - Israel) and Babylonian culture often changed the names of it's captives' to emotionally isolate and separate them even more from their homeland. In the case of the four Hebrew youths, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah, they were chosen by the King of Babylon, for special training and positions in Babylon, because of their good looks and noble bearing.(Daniel 1:1-7) This education would have involved a total emersion into Chaldean culture and religion, so their names were changed to reflect this new belief system.(Daniel 4:8)**HANANIAH(meaning "YHWH has shown favor") changed to Shadrach(which many believe to mean "Command of Aku"(a Babylonian God).**MISHAEL (meaning: "Who is like God")changed to Meshach(Mishaaku) possibly meaning "Who is what Aku is?"**AZARIAH(meaning:"YHWH has helped") changed to Abednego, possibly meaning "Servant of Nebo"(another Babylonian God )**DANIEL(meaning: 'My judge is God') changed to Belteshazzar(meaning "Protect the life of the king", including an invocation to Bel (another name for the Babylonian God, Marduk).By changing their food, clothing, surroundings and names, the Babylonians hoped to wipe out all longing for their previous lives, and replace it with their new Babylonian culture and religion. Of course, it did not work in this case, and the four Hebrew youths remained faithful to the God of the Jews (YHWH) through many tests of their integrity
Why did Shadrach Meshach and Abed-nego stand their ground and trust in God despite the threat of the fiery furnace?
Shadrach, Meshach, and Abed-nego stood their ground and trusted in God despite the threat of the fiery furnace because of their strong faith and belief in God's power to deliver them. They were willing to face death rather than compromise their faith by bowing down to false gods, showing their commitment to serving God above all else. Their courage and trust in God ultimately led to their miraculous deliverance from the fiery furnace, validating their faith and commitment.
