Sep. 13, 2014- Daniel 5
Handwriting On The Wall
Please
join with us sharing God’s Word daily. We will spend about fifteen
minutes a day praying and reading every word in God’s Word in approximately
three years. Gods
Not Dead!
Dear
Saints,
Today
we prayerfully continue our Feast by reading the book of Daniel Chapter 5; “Belshazzar's
impious feast; the hand-writing on the wall. (1-9) Daniel
is sent for to interpret it. (10-17)Daniel
warns the king of his destruction. (18-31)
Verses
1-9 Belshazzar bade defiance to the judgments of God. Most
historians consider that Cyrus then besieged Babylon… The ignorance and uncertainty concerning the
Holy Scriptures, shown by many who call themselves wise, only tend to drive
sinners to despair, as the ignorance of these wise men did.
Verses
10-17 Daniel was forgotten at court; he lived privately, and was
then ninety years of age… We should despise all the gifts and rewards this
world can give, did we see, as we may by faith, its end hastening on; but let
us do our duty in the world, and do it all the real service we can.
Verses
18-31 Daniel reads Belshazzar's doom. He had not taken warning by
the judgments upon Nebuchadnezzar… Soon will every impenitent sinner find the
writing of God's word brought to pass upon him, whether he is weighed in the
balance of the law as a self-righteous Pharisee, or in that of the gospel as
a painted hypocrite” - Matthew Henry Concise.
Daniel
told the king that the days of his reign were ending; (see Daniel 5:18-31 ) he made Daniel the third most powerful man in the kingdom, Daniel
was dressed in a purple robe and a gold chain. “30
That very night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was killed. 31 And Darius the
Mede received the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old.” Daniel 5:30-31 English Standard Version (ESV). Daniel didn’t ask for or want a reward (see 2
Kings 5:16) because his reward
was serving God. “8 Finally, all of you,
have unity of mind, sympathy, brotherly love, a tender heart, and a humble
mind.” 1 Peter 3:8 ESV. God’s will for us is to live in harmony with and love
our neighbors (see Romans
12:16) never thinking we are
better or smarter than others. The
writing is in God’s Word Jesus’ sacrifice (see Romans 3:24) paid
everything for our reward.
