9在但以理三章,撒但设计谋,要借尼布甲尼撒的盲目,引诱神失败选民中的年轻得胜者拜偶像(1~7)。尼布甲尼撒造了一个大金像,高六十肘(九十英尺),立在巴比伦省的杜拉平原(1)。……尼布甲尼撒将大臣和各等官员,并各省的官员,都招聚来,为他所立的像行开光之礼,且下令各族、各国、各方言的人,都要拜他的金像(2~5)。凡不俯伏敬拜的,必扔在烈火的窑中(6)。
9In Daniel 3 Satan’s strategy was to seduce the young overcomers among God’s defeated elect in the worship of idols through Nebuchadnezzar’s blindness (vv. 1-7). Nebuchadnezzar made a great image of gold, sixty cubits (ninety feet) in height, and set it up in the plain of Dura in the province of Babylon (v. 1)…Nebuchadnezzar sent word to assemble the high officials and all kinds of officers and all the rulers of the provinces to come to the dedication of the image that he had set up, and he commanded all the peoples, nations, and languages to worship his golden image (3:2-5). Whoever did not fall down and worship was to be thrown into the midst of a blazing furnace of fire (v. 6).
