Daniel 1:7
5/21/2026
The chief official gave them new names: to Daniel the name Belteshazzar; to Mananiah, Shadrach; to Mishael, Meshach, and to Azariah, Abednego
The suffixes on all of these Jewish names pointed to God, either “el” of “ia”. The job of the director in Babylon was to utterly change the identities of these young captives and make them to be what the Babylonian society wanted its bright young men to be. The new name did not stick to Daniel, but we have come to know the others by what their Babylonian names. In all these cases, what we really remember about these young men is their character. Daniel was protected in the lions’ den. The three young men wouldn’t bow, and, as it turned out, wouldn’t burn. May the Lord help us to trust Him with a courage like theirs, looking back even as they looked forward to Jesus.
