What Does Daniel 1:18 Mean?
The appointed time arrives. At the end of the three-year training the king had set, Ashpenaz brings the young men in to stand before Nebuchadnezzar himself. The moment everything has been building toward has come: the king will see the fruit of their preparation face to face.
Daniel and his friends now step before the most powerful man of their age. They went through this training as captives, on a diet most thought would weaken them, holding quietly to their God. Now they are presented to the throne. The Lord who watched over them in private brings them into the open. Faithfulness lived in hidden, daily choices is about to be seen, and God who saw it all is ready to honor it before the king.
