奋斗与勇敢-第246章
(但2:3-30)
“只有一位在天上的上帝,能显明奥秘的事,祂已将日后必有的事,指示尼布甲尼撒王”(但2:28)。{CC 251.1}[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第246章
Daniel 2:13-30[1]
奋斗与勇敢-第246章
但以理寻求上帝,是在国王颁发谕旨要处决巴比伦王国所有哲士的时候,因他们不能解说国王所遗忘了的梦。尼布甲尼撒王不但要求解释他的梦,也要求把他的梦说出来。……他们说王的要求不合理;从来没有人接受过这样的要求。王勃然大怒,他象一切执掌大权又不能自制的人那样,决定处决所有的哲士。但以理和他的同伴既在哲士之列,自然也要遭此厄运。(SD216){CC 251.2}[2]

There is a God in heaven that revealeth secrets, and maketh known to the king Nebuchadnezzar what shall be in the latter days. Daniel 2:28. {CC 251.1}[2]
奋斗与勇敢-第246章
但以理受耶稣基督的精神所感染,请求不要杀害巴比伦的哲士。跟从基督的人绝不会具有撒但的品性──以上帝所造众生的受苦受难为乐。他们的主说:“我来为要寻找拯救失丧的人,我来本不是召义人悔改,乃是召罪人悔改。”他们也具有这样的精神。目前在各教会中,宗教狂热迅速蔓延,致使不少人压迫、折磨和消灭不遵照他们所规定方式侍奉上帝的人。但以理如果也具有这种精神的话,他就会对亚略说:“这班自命为哲士的人,犯下了欺君之罪。他们根本不具有自称具有的知识,实在应该灭绝。他们玷辱天上的上帝,侍奉偶像,他们的生活决不是荣耀上帝的。任凭他们去死吧;你只要把我领到王面前,我就可以将梦的讲解告诉王。”{CC 251.3}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第246章
Daniel sought the Lord when the decree went forth to slay all the wise men of the kingdom of Babylon because they could not relate or interpret a dream which had gone from the king’s mind. Nebuchadnezzar demanded not only the interpretation of the dream, but the relation of the dream itself.... They declared that the request of the king was ... beyond that which had ever been required of any man. The king became furious, and acted like all men who have great power and uncontrollable passions. He decided that every one of them should be put to death, and as Daniel and his fellows were numbered with the wise men, they also were to share this fate.2 {CC 251.2}[3]
奋斗与勇敢-第246章
上帝改变人心的恩典表现在祂的仆人身上。但以理极其诚恳地为这班人的性命求情。谁知他们后来居然以秘密阴险的手段谋害他,藉此结果他的性命。这班人妒嫉但以理,因为他既得蒙王和贵胄的宠眷,又在巴比伦被推崇为最伟大的人物。(LT.1890.90){CC 251.4}[4]
奋斗与勇敢-第246章
Daniel was imbued with the spirit of Jesus Christ, and he pleaded that the wise men of Babylon should not be destroyed. The followers of Christ do not possess the attributes of Satan, which make it a pleasure to grieve and afflict the creatures of God. They have the spirit of their Master who said, “I am come to seek and to save that which was lost. I came not to call the righteous but sinners to repentance.” Had Daniel possessed the same quality of religious zeal which is so quickly inflamed today in the churches, and men are led by it to afflict and oppress and destroy those who do not serve God after their prescribed plan, he would have said to Arioch, “These men who claim to be wise men, are deceiving the king. They have not the knowledge they claim to have, and should be destroyed. They dishonor the God of heaven, they serve idols, and their lives in no way do honor to God; let them die; but bring me in before the king and I will show unto the king the interpretation.” {CC 251.3}[4]
