得胜的基督-第172章
“即便如此,我们所事奉的上帝能将我们从烈火的窑中救出来。王啊,祂也必救我们脱离你的手。即或不然,王啊,你当知道我们决不事奉你的神,也不敬拜你所立的金像”(但3:17,18)。{CTr 177.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第172章
Our God whom we serve is able to deliver us from the burning fiery furnace, and he will deliver us out of thine hand, O king. But if not, ... we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up.Daniel 3:17, 18.{CTr 177.1}[1]
得胜的基督-第172章
尼布甲尼撒的异梦引起了他思想观念的显著变化。他心中一时有了敬畏上帝的念头;但他的心还没有除去自傲、属世的野心和自高的欲望。初步的印象消失之后,他只想到自己的伟大,考虑怎样把他的梦转化为自己的荣耀。{CTr 177.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第172章
Nebuchadnezzar’s wonderful dream caused a marked change in his ideas and opinions, and for a little time he was influenced by the fear of God; but his heart was not yet cleansed from its pride, its worldly ambition, its desire for self-exaltation. After the first impression wore away, he thought only of his own greatness, and studied how the dream might be turned to his own honor.{CTr 177.2}[2]
得胜的基督-第172章
“你就是那金头”这句话给尼布甲尼撒留下了最深刻的印象。他决定铸一座超过原型的大像。这座像不同于他梦中的像,价值从头到脚逐渐降低,而是全身都用最贵重的金属铸成。整个像就这样象征巴比伦的伟大。他决心藉着这个辉煌的金像,使有关他以后国度的预言,不但从他的心中,也从听见梦和解释的人心中抹除。尼布甲尼撒王用从战争中所掠夺的财宝,“造了一个金像”,……诏告王国的全体官员来参加金像的奉献典礼,并在奏乐时向金像下拜。……{CTr 177.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第172章
The words “Thou art this head of gold” made the deepest impression upon Nebuchadnezzar’s mind. He determined to make an image that should excel the original. This image was not to deteriorate in value from the head to the feet, like the one he had been shown, but was to be composed throughout of the most precious metal. Thus the whole image would represent the greatness of Babylon, and he determined that by the splendor of this image the prophecy concerning the kingdoms that were to follow should be effaced from his mind and from the minds of others who had heard the dream and its interpretation. From the treasures obtained in war, Nebuchadnezzar “made an image of gold” ... and issued a proclamation, calling upon all the officers of the kingdom to assemble at the dedication of this image, and at the sound of musical instruments, to bow and worship it....{CTr 177.3}[3]
得胜的基督-第172章
指定的日子到了,在优美的音乐声中,大群人“就都俯伏敬拜尼布甲尼撒王所立的金像。”然而三位希伯来青年沙得拉、米煞、亚伯尼歌(我们没有但以理在场的记录)没有向金像下拜而羞辱上帝。有人将他们的举动报告国王。国王忿怒地把他们召到面前来,威胁劝诱他们和大家一起拜金像。他们礼貌而坚决地宣布自己忠于天上的上帝,相信祂有能力在试炼的时辰拯救他们。{CTr 177.4}[4]
得胜的基督-第172章
The appointed day came, and at the sound of entrancing music the vast company “fell down and worshipped the golden image.” But the three Hebrew youth, Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego (we have no record of Daniel’s being present), did not dishonor the God of heaven by paying homage to this idol. Their action was reported to the king. Angered, he called them before him and by threats endeavored to induce them to unite with the multitude in worshiping the image. Courteously yet firmly they declared their allegiance to the God of heaven and their faith in His power to deliver them in the hour of trial.{CTr 177.4}[4]

王勃然大怒,下令把窑烧得比寻常热七倍。三位希伯来青年随即被抛入窑中。火非常猛烈,连抬他们的人也被烧死了。(Manuscript 1904.110){CTr 177.5}[5]
得胜的基督-第172章
The king’s wrath knew no bounds. He commanded that the furnace be heated seven times hotter than it was wont. And without delay the Hebrew exiles were cast in. So furious were the flames that the men who cast the Hebrews in were burned to death.—Manuscript 110, 1904.{CTr 177.5}[5]
