DBS AoG #004
Daniel 1:6-7
Today's Lesson:
Daniel 1:6-7
"Now among these were of the children of Judah, Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael, and Azariah: Unto whom the prince of the eunuchs gave names: for he gave unto Daniel the name of Belteshazzar; and to Hananiah, of Shadrach; and to Mishael, of Meshach; and to Azariah, of Abed–nego."
Daniel, Hananiah, Mishael and Azariah were a part of the captivity. The prince of the eunuchs gave them new names as listed below;
The Pagan name change:
Daniel: God is my judge -- Belteshazzar: Keeper of the hide treasures of Bel.
Hananiah: Yahweh is God -- Shadrach; Inspiration of the sun (worship of Sun).
Mishael: Who belongs to God -- Meshach; Of the goddess Shaca (worship of Venus).
Azariah: Yahweh helps -- Abednego; Servant of the shining fire.
The change of names was customary of this time, but why to names of pagan deities? This was to encourage them, or influence them, to compromise, (conform to), and take up the idolatrous religion and practices that encompassed them in the Babylonian nation.
