Mishael
Mishael, also known as Meshach, was one of the four young Jewish men chosen to serve in Nebuchadnezzar's court and was a companion of Daniel during the Babylonian exile.
Mishael, whose Babylonian name was Meshach, was one of the four young Jewish men of royal or noble birth selected for service at the court of Nebuchadnezzar in Babylon (Daniel 1:6–7). Together with Daniel, Hananiah (Shadrach), and Azariah (Abednego) he resolved not to defile himself with the king's food, and God granted the four young men superior wisdom and understanding. Mishael became most famous as one of three who were thrown into the blazing furnace for refusing to worship the golden statue, and were miraculously preserved by a divine figure described as 'like a son of the gods' (Daniel 3). His witness in Babylon became a defining example of faithful endurance under imperial pressure.
