Azariah, also known as Abednego, is a biblical figure whose story is recounted in the Book of Daniel. He was one of the three young men, along with Shadrach and Meshach, who demonstrated unwavering faith in God.
Azariah's story is primarily found in Daniel 3. The Babylonian King Nebuchadnezzar erected a massive golden statue and commanded everyone to worship it. Shadrach, Meshach, and Azariah, being devout worshippers of the true God, refused to bow down to the idol. Their act of defiance led to them being thrown into a fiery furnace.
In a miraculous turn of events, Azariah and his companions were unharmed by the flames, and a fourth figure, often interpreted as an angel or a pre-incarnate appearance of Christ, was seen walking with them in the furnace. Witnessing this divine intervention, Nebuchadnezzar was compelled to acknowledge the greatness of the God of Shadrach, Meshach, and Azariah.
