Daniel 5:25-28, 30 KJV And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN. This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
Good morning and praise God. I hope you're having a great morning. Hallelujah! Today we look again at Belshazzar the son to Nebuchadnezzar. This is a man who decided to use temple's article in his feast. The Bible records "Daniel 5:3-4 KJV Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them. They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone." He is a man who had witnessed God mighty work especially when his own father had sinned and punished by eating grass like wild ox for seven good years untill he bowed to God ! By the way , Babylon was a very powerful worldly kingdom that nobody thought would ever fall. This was all by God's plan so that they would be a weapon against unfaithful Israelites who had refused to repent. This son despite witnessing all doings of God decided to follow ways of his father and even make it worse. You can imagine taking church articles of worship to a club! Isn't such a direct insult to God ? We don't know how long this party had taken because these parties would last even six months but what we witness is God's wrath against evil. Daniel the servant of God had been forgotten and people of Babylon including Belshazzar felt they didn't need him. Even when they felt they needed him because anyway they knew he was man of God, they just wanted to hear what mene mene tekel upharsin mean but not to repent! Their hearts were not ready for salvation at all! All over the world we have witnessed similar behaviors where we think that our ways are God's way. We think we can confine God to our own understanding and sometimes even insult God directly through ignorance like this man because anyway God is so patient. God does not delight in death of an sinner. But it comes a time of God's wrath. At such time no prayer or intercession can save such persons. Let's not take grace of God for granted brothers and sisters. Just because your day of God's wrath hasn't come doesn't mean that God's wrath is too far. Maybe you're being weighed! Take care, repent, call them to repent. Remind them to repent when there's still time. 2 Peter 3:9-10 NLT The Lord isn’t really being slow about his promise, as some people think. No, he is being patient for your sake. He does not want anyone to be destroyed, but wants everyone to repent. But the day of the Lord will come as unexpectedly as a thief. Then the heavens will pass away with a terrible noise, and the very elements themselves will disappear in fire, and the earth and everything on it will be found to deserve judgment. God loves you, have a blessed day. Shalom. Shalom.
