Shadrach Meshach and Abed-Nego said to Nebuchadnezzar their God would save them if they were put in the furnace - Dan 3:17. Nebuchadnezzar didn't really know that the person was God but he reasoned it was someone - angel etc - from God.

∙ 9y agoThe Book of Daniel, in which this scene occurs, is now considered by scholars to be a Jewish novel, written long after the events portrayed. The narrator places this knowledge in Nebuchadnezzar's mind.

∙ 12y agoIn Book of Daniel Chapter 3, King Nebuchadnezzar, saw a puzzling sight: 3 men were thrown into a blazing furnace and not only did they not burn but 4 men were visible. The king's men, not the king, declared the fourth man as like the "Son of God".
Daniel 3:24-25 (NKJV)
Then King Nebuchadnezzar was astonished; and he rose in haste and spoke, saying to his counselors, "Did we not cast three men bound into the midst of the fire?"
They answered and said to the king, "True, O king." "Look!" he answered, "I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire; and they are not hurt, and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God."
