    God needed a man who would be a fit representative of the

    principles and policies of heaven at the court of Babylon so he


    chose Daniel to be his personal ambassador to Nebuchadnezzer.
    The means god employed to bring Daniel a captive to the
    favourable attention of Nebuchadnezzer, and the means by which
    Nebuchadnezzer came to have confidence, first in Daniel and then
    in Daniel’s god, illustrate the manner in which god uses men today
    to accomplish his will on earth. God could use danie;l because
    Daniel was a man of principle a man of sterling character a man
    whose chief business in life was to live for god. Pg.751. bk.
    Commentary on Daniel and revelation, from the sda bb comm.
    vol.4
    Besides avoiding unclean food, the use of luxurious and unhealthful
    food and drink was contrary to strict principles of temperance
    10 days of quick physical change indicates they were already
    practising the principles and now were in the days of the effects
    being realized. The end of the period found them with good
    physical appearance, physical activity and mental vigour.
    God honoured these youngmen because of their unswerving
    purpose to do what was right. The approbation of god was more
    dearer to them than the favour of the most powerful earthly
    potentate dearer even than life itself. Nor had the first resolution
    been born under the pressure of immediate circumstances. From
    childhood, these young men had been trained in strict habits of
    temperance.
    Daniel didn’t refuse the food just to be singular, he always sought
    to live at peace with all and to cooperate to the fullest extent
    possible with his superiors as long as such cooperation did not
    require him to sacrifice principle. When fealty to Jehovah was
    involved, he was willing to sacrifice worldly honour, wealth, and
    position, even life itself. Pg.761.
    How they avoided conflict in the conflicting sciences and
    philosophies between Babylonian and Hebrews we aren’t told, but
    despite the corrupting influences, tthey held fast to the faith of
    their fathers as later tests of loyalty clearly show. They learned the
    skills and sciences of Chaldeans without adopting the heathen
    elements mingled with them.
    Their firm resolution is to remain true to god.
    The superior wisdom of Daniel and his friends was not a result of
    chance or destiny or even a miracle. The young men applied
    themselves diligently and consciously to their studies and god
    blessed their endeavours. True success in any undertaking is
    assured when divine and human effort is combined.
    It was the age when most of the young men in the capital of Judah
    were wild and reckless. They were excusing themselves because of
    their youth. But god chose from their midst certain ones whom he
    could trust in a foreign land.
    They might have reasoned and excused their failure that they were
    compelled because this was a king’s demand and they were in a
    foreign land.
    How did they know beforehand that the outcomes would be as
    they expected and as they promised the master? Its faith in god.
    God allows his people to pass through experiences that can help
    them to practice strict health principles. Gaining victory over
    appetite is a great battle. Appetite was the doorway through which
    all evil and sin entered the world. The first temptation of Christ.
    They were faithful in little things and god honored them with bigger
    responsibility
    Training from youthhood is what catholics do and their youth will
    not convert.
    Hebrew verb shim to place appoint dtermine Ashpenaz put new
    names on them Daniel put it in his mind not to fefile himself.
