Daniel 1:17

As for these four children, God gave them knowledge and skill.

These children, or youths, were Daniel, Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego. They were all blessed by God with the minds, the health and the training necessary to growth in knowledge and skill in the learning of the times. To Daniel alone was imparted inspiration. He "had understanding in all visions and dreams." Often God communicated his will to men in. "vision,". scene or picture that passed before the eyes, or in. dream. To Daniel God gave the power to interpret dreams thus sent and opened his eyes to see visions.
