12尼布甲尼撒在他对但以理及其同伴所施那属鬼魔的试诱中,也将原来指明他们是属于神的名字,改为使他们与偶像成为一的名字。但以理这名,意思是“神是审判者”,或“神是我的审判者”,被改为伯提沙撒—“彼勒(赛四六1)的王子”,或“彼勒所宠爱的”。哈拿尼雅这名,意思是“耶和华曾以恩慈赐与”,或“蒙耶和华恩宠”,被改为沙得拉 —“蒙日神光照”。米沙利这名,意思是“谁是神所是的?”但他的名被改为米煞 —“谁能像女神煞克?”亚撒利雅这名,意思是“耶和华曾帮助”,被改为亚伯尼歌—“火神尼歌的忠仆”(但以理书生命读经,七至八、一三页)。 12In his devilish temptation of Daniel and his companions, Nebuchadnezzar also changed their names, which indicated that they belonged to God, to names that made them one with the idols. The name Daniel, which means “God is the Judge,” or “God is my Judge,” was changed to Belteshazzar, meaning “the prince of Bel,” or “the favorite of Bel” (Isa. 46:1). The name Hananiah, which means “Jah has graciously given,” or “favored of Jah,” was changed to Shadrach, meaning “enlightened by the sun god.” The name Mishael means “Who is what God is?” but his name was changed to Meshach, meaning “Who can be like the goddess Shach?” The name Azariah, which means “Jah has helped,” was changed to Abed-nego, meaning “the faithful servant of the fire god Nego.” (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 6, 10-11)
