Daniel 3:25
KJV
He answered and said, Lo, I see four men loose, walking in the midst of the fire, and they have no hurt; and the form of the fourth is like the Son of God.
NIV
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.”
Scholars argue that Nebuchadnezzar could not have identified the Son of God because he was a pagan king. However, the argument fails for several reasons. Not only did he go on to call the three Hebrew children, “the servants of the most high God” (Dan. 3:26), but prior to this event, he had an encounter with God in Dan. 2:47. The scripture also confirms that God can speak to or through the heathen, as clearly described in 2 Chr. 35:22.
