The three Jews thrown into the fiery furnace came out unhurt because of their faith and confidence. When King Nebuchadnezzar threatened to throw Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego into a fiery furnace for not worshipping his idol, they refused to bow down and instead professed their faith in God. The king was enraged and ordered the furnace to be heated up seven times hotter than usual. However, when the three were thrown into the furnace, they were not harmed. In fact, the king saw a fourth figure in the furnace who appeared like a son of the gods. This shows that the three Jews had faith in God and were confident that He would protect them, which He did.
