Topical Lexicon Word Origin: Of foreign originCorresponding Greek / Hebrew Entries: There are no direct corresponding Strong's Greek entries for Shadrach, as it is a proper noun specific to the Hebrew text and context of the Book of Daniel. Usage: The name Shadrach is used in the context of the Babylonian exile, specifically referring to one of the companions of Daniel who was taken into the service of King Nebuchadnezzar. Context: Shadrach is one of the three Hebrew youths, along with Meshach and Abednego, who were taken into Babylonian captivity during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar. Originally named Hananiah, Shadrach was given a Babylonian name as part of the assimilation process into the Babylonian culture. He is best known for his unwavering faith in God, as demonstrated in the account of the fiery furnace in the Book of Daniel. In Daniel 3, Shadrach, along with Meshach and Abednego, refused to bow down to the golden image set up by Nebuchadnezzar, resulting in their being thrown into a blazing furnace. Miraculously, they were unharmed, and their deliverance led to the king acknowledging the power of their God. This story highlights themes of faith, divine protection, and the sovereignty of God over earthly powers.
