但以理和他的同伴对上帝有无亏的良心。然而这样保持良心清白并非没有经过一番斗争。当但以理的三个同伴受命敬拜尼布甲尼撒王在杜拉平原设立的大像时,他们受到的是何等大的考验啊!他们的原则不许他们向偶像致敬;因为那是与天上的上帝对抗的。他们知道自己所拥有的一切才能都由上帝而来,他们的心既对众人充满宽宏的同情,便有高尚的志向要证明自己是完全忠于上帝的。……{HP149.2}[2]

Daniel and his companions had a conscience void of offense toward God. But this is not preserved without a struggle. What a test was brought on the three associates of Daniel when they were required to worship the great image set up by the King Nebuchadnezzar in the plains of Dura! Their principles forbade them to pay homage to the idol, for it was a rival to the God of heaven. They knew that they owed to God every faculty they possessed, and while their hearts were full of generous sympathy toward all men, they had a lofty aspiration to prove themselves entirely loyal to their God....{HP 149.2}[2]

王对三位希伯来青年宣布:“你们……若俯伏敬拜我所造的像,却还可以,若不敬拜,必立时扔在烈火的窑中,有何神能救你们脱离我手呢?”他们对王说:“尼布甲尼撒啊,这件事我们不必回答你;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!你当知道我们决不侍奉你的神,也不敬拜你所立的金像”(但3:15-18)。……这些忠心的青年便被投进火中,但上帝却显出祂的能力拯救祂的仆人。有一位象上帝儿子的在火焰中与他们一起行走,及至他们被叫出来时,身上甚至没有火燎的气味。……{HP149.3}[3]

The king declared to the three Hebrew youth, if “ye fall down and worship the image which I have made; well: but if ye worship not, ye shall be cast the same hour into the midst of a burning fiery furnace; and who is that God that shall deliver you out of my hands?” The youth said to the king, “O Nebuchadnezzar, we are not careful to answer thee in this matter. If it be so, 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, be it known unto thee, O king, that we will not serve thy gods, nor worship the golden image which thou hast set up....” (Daniel 3:15-19).... Those faithful youth were cast into the fire, but God manifested His power for the deliverance of His servants. One like unto the Son of God walked with them in the midst of the flame, and when they were brought forth, not even the smell of fire had passed on them....{HP 149.3}[3]

这些青年就这样被圣灵充满,向全国的人宣告了他们的信仰,表明他们所敬拜的主才是独一永活的真神上帝。他们信仰的这一明证极有说服力地表明了他们的原则。为了使拜偶像的人深感永生上帝的权能和伟大,上帝的仆人们自己必须显明对上帝的崇敬。他们必须表明祂是他们所尊荣和敬拜的惟一对象,没有任何的考虑事项、甚至连保留生命本身都不能诱使他们向偶像崇拜作出一点让步。这些教训对我们在这些末后日子的经验有直接而且至关重要的意义。{HP149.4}[4]

Thus these youth, imbued with the Holy Spirit, declared to the whole nation their faith, that He whom they worshiped was the only true and living God. This demonstration of their own faith was the most eloquent presentation of their principles. In order to impress idolaters with the power and greatness of the living God, His servants must reveal their own reverence for God. They must make it manifest that He is the only object of their honor and worship, and that no consideration, not even the preservation of life itself, can induce them to make the least concession to idolatry. These lessons have a direct and vital bearing upon our experience in these last days.33{HP 149.4}[4]
