Long 3-pela yia ol i kisim skul, ol dispela yangpela i no lusim ol stretpela lo bilong God. Inap olsem 8-pela yia bihain, King Nebukatnesar i kisim wanpela narakain driman.

Em i Bikpela bilong olgeta king, na em i save kamapim as bilong ol samting i hait.” (Daniel 2:47) Tasol i no longtaim bihain na Nebukatnesar i lusim tingting long dispela samting. Taim 3-pela pren bilong Daniel i no laik lotu long wanpela traipela imis, king i tok na ol i tromoi 3-pela i go long bikpela paia. Trupela God i kisim bek dispela 3-pela yangpela, na Nebukatnesar i luksave olsem “i no gat wanpela god inap long helpim ol manmeri bilong en olsem dispela God.”—Daniel 3:29.

Long dispela nait stret, ol i kilim Belsasar na Darius bilong Midia i kamap king. (Daniel 5:30, 31) Long taim bilong Darius, taim Daniel i winim 90 krismas, sampela bikman i bel nogut long Daniel na ol i painim rot bilong kilim em i dai. Tasol Jehova i kisim em bek na “ol laion i no bagarapim em.”—Daniel 6:27.
