Commentaries:
Adam Clarke
If it be so - Thou mayest cast us into the furnace; the terror of it has no effect on our minds to induce us to alter the resolution we have taken, nor shall the fire change our purpose. We serve a God who is able to deliver us. Should he not, we are equally determined; but we are satisfied that in some way or other he will deliver us out of thy hand. Thy power cannot affect us in the kingdom of our God to which we shall ascend from thy furnace, should he permit the fire to kindle upon us. "Render to Caesar the things which are Caesar' s," is a maxim of Jesus Christ; but when Caesar arrogates to himself the things that are the Lord' s, then, and in such cases, his authority is to be resisted. God does not desire Caesar' s things; Caesar' s must not have the things of God.
