+------Stubborn; The Thoughts Of The Hebrew Boys In Babylon Tossed Into The Furnace

We always mused on
the nature of the lies/threats
from scoffers Noah endured,
constructing his Ark;
Doves weary of vultures’ shrills
above, darting in and out of
dark clouds. Whether that mob,
biased, found his faith in God
revolting, or the hint of slow
death by drowning awaiting
those refusing to board. But we
arent ones lacking safe passage
to the Unknown’s opposite side.
Our Ark is our faith, King
Nebuchadnezzar’s flames like
40 days and nights’ rain. And
we refuse to bow to idols, even
if it means the end of the world
as we know it.

------Daniel 3:19-25
Then Nebuchadnezzar was furious with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and his attitude toward them changed. He ordered the furnace heated seven times hotter than usual and commanded some of the strongest soldiers in his army to tie up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego and throw them into the blazing furnace. So these men, wearing their robes, trousers, turbans and other clothes, were bound and thrown into the blazing furnace. The king’s command was so urgent and the furnace so hot that the flames of the fire killed the soldiers who took up Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, and these three men, firmly tied, fell into the blazing furnace. Then King Nebuchadnezzar leaped to his feet in amazement and asked his advisers, “Weren’t there three men that we tied up and threw into the fire?” They replied, “Certainly, Your Majesty.” He said, “Look! I see four men walking around in the fire, unbound and unharmed, and the fourth looks like a son of the gods.
