What is shown in this coloring page?

King Nebuchadnezzar of Babylon built a giant golden statue and commanded everyone to worship it. Three faithful Jewish men—Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego—refused to bow down to anyone but the one true God. As punishment, the furious king ordered them to be thrown into a blazing furnace, heated seven times hotter than usual. To the king’s astonishment, the men were not consumed by the flames. They were seen walking unharmed with a fourth, divine figure in the fire. The king called them out, and they emerged without even the smell of smoke on their clothes, leading the king to praise their God.
