In Daniel 1:1-4 KJV
In the third year of the reign of Jehoiakim king of Judah came Nebuchadnezzar king of Babylon unto Jerusalem, and besieged it. And the Lord gave Jehoiakim king of Judah into his hand, with part of the vessels of the house of God: which he carried into the land of Shinar to the house of his god; and he brought the vessels into the treasure house of his god. And the king spake unto Ashpenaz the master of his eunuchs, that he should bring certain of the children of Israel, and of the king's seed, and of the princes; Children in whom was no blemish, but well favoured, and skilful in all wisdom, and cunning in knowledge, and understanding science, and such as had ability in them to stand in the king's palace, and whom they might teach the learning and the tongue of the Chaldeans.

In this scripture you will understand that God of Daniel (JUDAH) gave Judah into the hands of king Nebuchadnezzar, in the olden days wars are not just wars between Kings but between gods., and when you lost a battle it means that your god has been defeated and everything that is in their temple ( Judah) is taken by the other people that defeated the other and so this is exactly what happened to Judah . now how do I mean by THE PUNISHMENT OF GOD TO OTHERS MIGHT BE A BLESSING TO A SOLE
Knowing fully that God punished Judah by allowing them to be defeated by Nebuchadnezzar because of their sins
In 2 Kings 24:3-4 KJV
Surely at the commandment of the Lord came this upon Judah, to remove them out of his sight, for the sins of Manasseh, according to all that he did; And also for the innocent blood that he shed: for he filled Jerusalem with innocent blood; which the Lord would not pardon
God use the punishment of the people of Judah to make king Nebuchadnezzar repent from his evil ways through Daniel and his three friends namely Hananiah,Mishael and Azariah
Which made king Nebuchadnezzar that call him self god finally exult the name of God of Daniel (Judah)
In Daniel 4:37 KJV
Now I Nebuchadnezzar praise and extol and honour the King of heaven, all whose works are truth, and his ways judgment: and those that walk in pride he is able to abase.
Question here is will you be like Daniel Hananiah,Mishael and Azariah that stood up for their God knowing that God in heaven is the supreme upon the present captivity of their country JUDAH they still believe in God.
Because of their faith they where known to be the best among all king Nebuchadnezzar's wise men
Prayer : O God I pray that the mantle that was on Daniel Hananiah,Mishael and Azariah to be on me in Jesus name
Amen
