January 18, 2025 – Daniel 5 – Belshazzar’s Feast

A new king, Belshazzar, rules Babylon, and he throws a lavish drinking party using sacred vessels looted from the Jewish Temple. God responds with a message written on the wall – MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN! Daniel interprets it as, “God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
