神让先知耶利米说的这个预言果真应验了。 犹太人被掠到敌人的国家, 其中也包括今天故事里要讲到的四个年轻人。巴比伦王尼布甲尼撒吩咐人, 从以色列人的皇室中, 选几个身体健康, 相貌俊美, 聪明博学的人, 来他的王宫里做仆人。他们的待遇很好, 国王吃什么, 他们也吃什么, 国王喝什么酒, 他们也喝什么样的酒。他们还要学习那里的文字言语。三年以后, 他们中最好的要在王宫里任职。
The four young men in our lesson today were among those chosen to attend the palace college. Daniel, Haniah, Mishael and Azariah were probably about 15 or 16 years old when they were captured and taken to Babylon. By their names and by their character we can assume they honored the true and living God. Daniel means ?God is my judge. Hananiah means ?The Lord is gracious. Mishael means ?Who is like God? and Azariah means ?The Lord has helped.
今天要讲的四个年轻人也被选上来参加培训。他们是但以理, 哈拿尼雅, 米沙利, 亚撒利雅。他们被掠到巴比伦的时候, 只有十五, 六岁。单看他们的名字我们就知道他们是敬畏神的人。但以理的意思是神审判 , 哈拿尼雅的意思是主是恩典荣耀的 , 米沙利的意思是与神一样 , 亚撒利雅的意思是神帮助的人。
Although Babylon was no doubt a beautiful city, still the four young men mustve felt the strangeness of the very different life there. Then when Ashpenaz, the kings chief official, gave them each new names that were related to the false gods of Babylon, it mustve troubled them. Would these new names cause them to forget the true and living God?No! Would God forget about these four captives?No! God knew right where they were and He understood everything about their situation.
