Introduction

I’ve been picking my brain over a title for this message for quite some time, but I couldn’t think of anything better than the names of our heroes themselves. Hananiah, which means “Yah is gracious”; Mishael, which means “Who is what God is”; and Azariah, which means “Yah has helped.” Better known by their Babylonian names Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego. Daniel (God is my judge) after whom the book is named was known in the Babylonian empire as Belteshazzar. The prophet Daniel recorded three powerful miracles he and his three friends experienced while they lived in exile in Babylonia.
