10当撒但差遣尼布甲尼撒来毁坏圣城同圣殿,除去对神的敬拜和事奉时,似乎神失败了,祂在地上的权益、敬拜和事奉被毁坏了。但在神的主宰下,尼布甲尼撒所拣选,侍立在王宫的少年人中,有四人成了得胜者,保守了对神的敬拜和事奉。神有四个年轻的得胜者,他们天天活在王宫里,绝对与神是一。这对撒但是羞辱,对神却是夸耀。……今天在地上,不管数目多寡,只要有一些得胜者,神就有夸口的理由。当神看见今天的得胜者站在召会的立场上,祂就快乐喜悦(但以理书生命读经,五四至五五、五七至五九页)。
10When Satan sent Nebuchadnezzar to destroy the holy city with the temple in order to take away God’s worship and service, it seemed that God was defeated and that His interest, worship, and service on earth were destroyed. Yet under God’s sovereignty, four of the young men selected by Nebuchadnezzar to stand in the king’s palace became overcomers to keep God’s worship and service. God had four young overcomers living in the palace day by day, yet they were absolutely one with God. This was a shame to Satan and a boast to God…Today, as long as there are some overcomers on this earth, regardless of the number, God will have reason to boast. When God sees today’s overcomers standing on the ground of the church, He will be happy and pleased. (Life-study of Daniel, pp. 48-52)
