“We of course are not scared. God protects us” Good luck with that!
The monks are taking the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego approach. Leaving matters in God's Hands. Surrendering to His Will no matter the results. I commend them for doing so, and pray for them.
The monks are taking the Shadrach, Meshach, and Abednego approach. INDEED!
I've always wondered why the Book of Daniel did NOT continue on with using the 3 guys Hebrew names.
It did by using Daniel instead of the Chaldean one given him by the king: Belteshazzar.
The Hebrew names of Daniel's friends were
Hananiah (חֲנַנְיָה), "
Yah (i.e.,
Yahweh) is gracious",
Mishael (מִישָׁאֵל), "Who is like
God?" and
Azariah (עֲזַרְיָה), "Yah has helped",
but by the king’s decree they assigned
Chaldean names, so that Hananiah became Shadrach, Mishael became Meshach and Azariah became Abednego.
