Chapter 5 from the book of Daniel.
0:03
Dear Lord, please open our hearts, our minds, our thoughts
0:09
and let us receive what you have given to Daniel in this book so
0:16
that we might apply it to our lives.
0:21
Learn more and let the Holy Spirit reveal things to us.
0:25
We ask this in Jesus name, Amen. This is called the writing on
0:30
the wall. King Belshazzar gave a great
0:34
banquet for 1000 of his nobles and drank wine with them.
0:39
While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to
0:44
bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar, his
0:48
father, had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the
0:52
king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink
0:56
from them. So they brought in gold goblets
1:00
that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and
1:04
the kings and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank
1:08
from them. As they drank the wine, they
1:12
praised the gods plural of gold and silver, of bronze, ironwood,
1:20
and stone. So I'll pause here because don't
1:24
you think that's really going to upset God?
1:29
We saw something in chapter 4 about Nebuchadnezzar, where it
1:32
seems like Nebuchadnezzar, his eyes were opened, but it's
1:37
interesting that his son, who is now King Belshazzar has no, he
1:44
didn't follow along. And we did see that same sort of
1:48
thing when we looked at the accounts of all of the kings of
1:52
Israel and all of the kings of Judah.
1:56
Like none of the kings of Israel were considered good.
1:59
They were considered evil by God.
2:02
And then about half of the kings of Judah were considered good.
2:08
That followed after God that obeyed him.
2:11
And then the other half, it was roughly that much, that many.
2:14
I guess we're not. And so we see that, you know,
2:19
there's a greater tendency even among God's own chosen people
2:25
that don't follow him, people that are put as who are placed
2:28
as kings. So we have to realize that God
2:32
is in control of who he appoints.
2:34
That's what this chapter and the prior chapter tells us that God
2:38
appoints leaders, but it doesn't mean that the leaders got
2:42
appoints are necessarily holy men or men like like David was,
2:49
that God said David was a man after his own heart.
2:53
Like David had this desire to be close to God.
2:57
He wasn't a perfect man, but he had a desire to be close to God.
3:02
But then we see how most people, probably all people, I'm not all
3:09
people, but I mean, when you speak most people, let's
3:12
probably you could probably say around the whole world, they're
3:17
not necessarily turned towards God.
3:21
And that's when God often let's ungodly rulers rule over them
3:29
when they've turned away from him because he's not blessing
3:32
them at that point. And so, but we also see that
3:36
just because somebody's parent saw that, found the true God,
3:42
realized who the true God was, because that's how he came out
3:45
of his circumstances where he was given this insane mind.
3:49
And he came out of that when he finally acknowledged God and
3:55
praised the one true God and not these multiple gods that they
3:58
were worshiping, these Pagan gods that they were worshiping.
4:01
But think about this. So the son now like
4:04
Nebuchadnezzar went through this.
4:06
I have no idea, like how old the son was when this happened to
4:09
his dad, but apparently he didn't learn from it.
4:13
And so he is, you know, enjoying the riches that his family had
4:20
acquired through probably not the best means of doing so by
4:29
just taking them. And, and of course, you know,
4:32
they're using goblets from God's temple that they took away from
4:36
Jerusalem and they're drinking out of them and they're praising
4:41
other gods. You know, this isn't going to go
4:44
well, so look what God does. Suddenly the fingers of a human
4:51
hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall near the
4:56
lamp stand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it
5:02
wrote. His face turned pale and he was
5:06
so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were
5:11
knocking. The king summoned the
5:13
enchanters, astrologers, and diviners.
5:17
Then he said to these wise men of Babylon, Whoever reads this
5:23
writing and tells me what it means will be clothed in purple
5:28
and have a gold chain placed around his neck, and he will be
5:31
made the third highest ruler in the Kingdom.
5:35
Then all the King's wise men came in, but they could not read
5:39
the writing or tell the king what it meant.
5:42
So King Belshazzar became even more terrified and his face grew
5:48
more pale. His nobles were baffled.
5:52
Could you imagine that, you know, seeing a hand appear and
5:56
then some writing on the wall, but you don't know what it says.
5:59
I mean, that would just be really scary.
6:02
I mean, that would scare anyone to see that, and nobody knows
6:07
what it means. So that's the situation they're
6:11
in then. The Queen, hearing the voices of
6:14
the king and his nobles, came into the banquet hall.
6:17
May the king live forever, she said.
6:20
Don't be alarmed. Don't look so pale.
6:22
There is a man in your Kingdom who has the spirit of the holy
6:26
gods in him, she says. Plural gods.
6:29
She doesn't. Also, she doesn't know God
6:31
either, but she knows about him, and so she's bringing this up to
6:37
the the king in the time of your father, he was found to have
6:43
insight and intelligence and wisdom like that of the gods.
6:49
She's a plural. Your father, King
6:51
Nebuchadnezzar, appointed him chief of the magicians,
6:55
enchanters, astrologers and diviners.
6:58
He did this because Daniel, whom the king called Beltashazzar,
7:02
was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding,
7:06
and also the ability to interpret dreams, explain
7:10
riddles and solve difficult problems.
7:14
Call for Daniel and he will tell you what the writing means.
7:18
So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him,
7:22
Are you Daniel, one of the Exiles my father the king
7:26
brought from Judah? I have heard that the spirit of
7:29
the gods is in you, and that you have insight, intelligence, and
7:32
outstanding wisdom. The wise men and enchanters were
7:36
brought before me to read this writing and tell me what it
7:39
means, but they cannot explain it.
7:42
Now, I have heard that you are able to give interpretations and
7:46
do solve difficult problems. If you can read this writing and
7:50
tell me what it means, you will be clothed in purple and have a
7:54
gold chain placed around your neck, and you will be made the
7:58
third highest ruler in the Kingdom.
8:01
Then Daniel answered the king. You may keep your gifts for
8:05
yourself and give your rewards to someone else.
8:08
Nevertheless, I will read the writing for the King and tell
8:12
him what it means. Your Majesty, the Most High God
8:17
gave your Father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness and
8:23
glory and splendor. Because of the high position He
8:28
gave him, all the nations and peoples of every language
8:32
dreaded him, are dreaded and feared him.
8:36
Those the King wanted to put to death, he put to death.
8:40
Those he wanted to spare, he spared.
8:43
Those he wanted to promote, he promoted, and those he wanted to
8:47
humble, he humbled. But when his heart became
8:52
arrogant and hardened with pride, he was deposed from his
8:57
royal throne and stripped of his glory.
9:02
He was driven away from the people and given the mind of an
9:06
animal. He lived with wild the wild
9:09
donkeys and ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched
9:14
with the dew of heaven until he acknowledged that the Most High
9:19
God is sovereign over all kingdoms on earth and sets over
9:23
them anyone he wishes. So also again, we always like to
9:28
look at when God points out things like why did this happen
9:34
to Nebuchadnezzar? And it gives the reason it says
9:38
in verse 20. But when his heart became
9:41
arrogant and hardened with pride, when he when he was
9:46
thinking it was all about him, he was deposed from his royal
9:51
throne and stripped of his glory.
9:54
That's where God humbled him, and God still does that today.
9:59
And because he hates pride, and pride has no place in God's
10:03
Kingdom. And so if people who want to be
10:09
in God's Kingdom and make that known to God and they become
10:13
prideful, he will humble them. And I kind of felt like God did
10:20
that to me. So but then verse 22 says, but
10:25
you Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself though you
10:31
knew all of this. So now this is scary because
10:35
this is like when God can do judgement.
10:39
God is always fair. God is just and he doesn't do
10:45
things that aren't just basically because he.
10:53
So here we see that Belshazzar. He saw the stuff that happened
10:57
to his dad, but he just didn't. And he knew what happened, but
11:02
he was just going to do things his own way.
11:04
And he was prideful and he was just, it didn't have any impact
11:11
on him. And that's the thing about
11:13
really what we read in the Bible is that there are stories, there
11:17
are accounts, these are historical documented accounts,
11:21
many of them that are in the Bible that they truly did
11:24
happen. These aren't just like made-up
11:26
stories. These are real accounts of real
11:29
people who these things happen to, and they serve as a warning
11:38
to us because if we listen, if we pay attention to what it
11:43
says, we can learn from that. And the good thing about that is
11:47
if you learn from it and then you avoid the mistakes somebody
11:51
else made, then you may not have the consequences that they did.
11:57
But if you read it and you don't apply it to your life and you
12:01
don't learn anything from it, and you do the same things that
12:05
the people in the Bible did, do you think that God's going to
12:10
treat you any differently? Like he's, it says he has no
12:14
favoritism, just like his own chosen people, the Israelites.
12:20
He let an enemy leader come in, capture them, take them into
12:25
exile, kill many of them. God allowed that.
12:29
He was sovereign over all of that and he did it because they
12:34
were worshipped. They were into idolatry.
12:38
They they were not honoring God. And so we can tell from this
12:44
history, this happens over and over again.
12:46
It seems like it's always idolatry where something becomes
12:49
more important to people than God.
12:53
And that can happen to us too. We can get, we can have things
12:56
in our life that become more important to us than God.
13:01
But when that happens, we need to be very careful.
13:05
We need to actually stop it because if we don't, there is a
13:11
possibility that something like this could happen to us when we
13:17
do it, because God doesn't show any favoritism.
13:20
He has a lot of mercy and a lot of compassion, and He's very
13:24
patient. So we can't say when this will
13:27
happen to a person because we do see people who do these things
13:31
and seem like they're getting away with it.
13:33
But in all cases, it's God being patient and merciful with the
13:38
person, hoping that they come to repentance.
13:42
But there will be a day when Jesus returns that that time is
13:46
going to be up. And if the person has not
13:50
repented or changed their ways or received the Holy Spirit,
13:55
surrendered to God believing in Jesus, if they, if they, you
13:59
know, had their minds set against it, like, no, I'm not
14:02
going to do any of that. Then when he comes, they're
14:06
going to be subject to wrath. And the Bible does describe
14:11
that. So just because it hasn't
14:15
happened yet doesn't mean that it's not going to happen.
14:19
In fact, when you see all of these Bible prophecies that were
14:22
written hundreds and thousands of years before they actually
14:25
occurred, you'll, you'll know that you know, those happened.
14:31
There are some things that still haven't happened that are coming
14:33
in the future. So basically this is just a, a
14:36
warning. Like look at what happened to
14:38
these people, apply it to our lives and make sure that we
14:43
don't make the same mistakes that these other people made.
14:46
That's why God puts these things in the Bible so that we can get
14:50
to know what happens. Be forewarned because God always
14:54
gives warning. Just like Belshazzar, He had
14:57
warning by seeing his own dad go through this.
15:02
So verse 23 says, instead, you have set yourself up against the
15:07
Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from his
15:12
temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives,
15:17
your concubines, drank from them.
15:20
You praised the gods of silver, of gold, of bronze, ironwood,
15:26
and stone which cannot see or hear or understand.
15:31
But you did not honor the God who holds in his hands your life
15:38
and all your ways. I mean, we, you know, he's
15:43
Daniel's telling this to King Nebuchadnezzar's son.
15:47
And but this also, you know, like this also applies to us.
15:52
Like we need to like, are we honoring God?
15:55
Because God holds our life. He gives us the breath that
15:59
starts our life and he ends our life when he decides time is up.
16:05
And if we are not honoring him by the time of our death, we
16:09
will be separated from him. So God gives us this whole like,
16:14
I didn't even understand this when before I read the Bible and
16:18
it took a while of studying it too, that this time that we're
16:21
here on the earth is basically our, our testing period, our our
16:26
time frame that we need, we have to make a decision within it.
16:31
And if some people want to say, well, I'm just going to put that
16:34
off. If I'm not going to make a
16:36
decision right now or I'm going to be like part this way, part
16:39
that way. If you don't fully submit to God
16:44
and fully acknowledge God's sovereignty and what Jesus did
16:49
on the cross, if you don't at that point in your time frame,
16:55
you will be, you are subject to God's wrath and you are
16:58
separated from God. So if you died at that moment,
17:01
you would be separated from God for eternity.
17:04
There's no like second chances. I mean, we have lots of chances
17:09
here while we're on earth. But once we die, there's that's,
17:14
that's it, that's it. Then comes judgement.
17:18
So what we decide here and what we do here on earth is so
17:24
critical and so important. And I think there's a lot of
17:27
people who don't realize that or don't take this seriously, but
17:33
it is real. It is true.
17:36
The more you get into the word of God and you see these
17:39
prophecies that were foretold that occurred.
17:42
And I mean, there we were talking about this in a prior
17:46
podcast about how Jesus fulfilled about 500.
17:50
Some scholars say prophecies and just the, the statistical
17:56
possibility that one person could fulfill that many
18:00
prophecies is just, it's, it's impossible.
18:06
So these things that these statistical things that can be
18:11
proven are proof that Jesus is who he said he was the Son of
18:17
God. Jesus revealed himself to people
18:22
so that more people could enter the Kingdom of God.
18:26
That's what he was here for. He came here to save all of us,
18:31
to give us that possibility, that not possibility, that
18:35
opportunity to be in God's Kingdom.
18:38
But we have to believe him and then we have to receive the Holy
18:43
Spirit. And that's, that's kind of like,
18:45
well, we have to repent of our sins.
18:47
We have to, you know, believe who he is.
18:50
And if we believe who he is and we understand that we are sinful
18:53
and we can't do it on our own, the only way that we can get
18:56
into the Kingdom of God is through Jesus.
18:59
He said I am the way, the truth and the life, and no one comes
19:01
to the Father except through me. And he also said that unless you
19:05
were born again, unless we become a new creation, unless we
19:09
have that Holy Spirit, that's what the born again is.
19:12
Unless we have the Holy Spirit, we're not going to be in the
19:15
Kingdom of God. So anybody who wants to be in
19:22
God's Kingdom, because the alternative to that is not
19:27
present, you may think it's just going to be like a party.
19:30
The way that some of the world who is against God, they portray
19:34
it as do whatever you want and have as much fun as you want.
19:38
No, you're going to be in slavery to your sin.
19:42
The Bible. It's like eternal torture.
19:45
It's not a good thing. And people are being deceived by
19:49
thinking it's just going to be a big party.
19:53
But it's not. When you read the Bible and the
19:55
Bible is true, it's not just a made-up like, you know, a
20:00
made-up story that people like to tell other people.
20:04
No, this is this is reality. This is kind of the, I think it
20:09
was Rick Warren referred to the Bible as the owner's manual for
20:13
the earth or for our life. And if you're not reading the
20:17
owner's manual, you don't know how it works.
20:20
So this is for our benefit. This is all written down South.
20:25
Verse 24. It says, you know, so it says to
20:28
the Daniel saying to the Son, but you did not honor the God
20:31
who holds in his hand your life in all your ways.
20:35
Therefore he sent the hand that wrote the inscription, This
20:41
inscription that was written meanie, meanie teckel Parson.
20:48
Here is what these words mean. Many are many.
20:52
I'm not sure how to say these. God has numbered the days of
20:56
your reign and brought it to an end.
21:00
See, right there we see God puts people in power and he takes
21:05
them out of power when he decides he's seeing that the
21:09
sun. God knows the heart.
21:11
So like we could, you know, have discernment and say, well, he's
21:16
not really following God. He's turned away from God, but
21:20
God knows his heart. God knows whether he ever will
21:24
because he knows just the tendon that, you know, he knows how
21:27
people, their willful choices and he can see.
21:32
And there's a certain point where I think God gives all
21:34
these opportunities. And there's a certain point
21:36
where he's, I'm, I'm speaking just like this is speculation,
21:41
where God just, you know, he sees that, no, they're never
21:44
going to turn. They're never going to do it.
21:46
You know, I keep coming to them. I keep, you know, giving them
21:48
this message. And they keep ignoring me.
21:50
They keep blowing me off. And I know them because God
21:56
knows us. We may not know him, but he
21:59
knows us because he created us. But He gave us free will and He
22:02
watches us. He knows every little hair on
22:04
our head and he knows every single thing that we did, even
22:08
when we try and hide it from people.
22:10
God knows what we did. God even knows our intentions
22:14
behind it. Not just our visible actions,
22:17
but our intentions to our thoughts, our motivation in all
22:21
that we do. He knows all of that.
22:24
So we can't escape God. God knows us better than any
22:28
other human being could ever or anything else could ever know
22:31
us. God knows us better.
22:33
So when God says your time's up and now justice is coming on
22:38
you, it's it is justice. I mean, God, God is so merciful,
22:44
compassion and loving that when he finally decides that you can,
22:48
you can know that it was time. And so he's bringing Beltashez
22:55
or Belshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar to an end.
23:00
Tico means you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.
23:07
So this is his judgement. He's he's not doing well on the
23:13
scales. Paris or Paris is what it says.
23:18
Your Kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.
23:24
So Babylon, who is conquering everything, just like God took
23:29
away the territory from Israel. The Assyrians captured them
23:37
first, and then those were the 10 tribes, and then he took it
23:41
away from Judah and had the Babylonians capture the tribe of
23:46
Judah and Benjamin. Those two were together.
23:49
So those kingdoms were just like scattered apart.
23:53
They were all like destroyed because of their idolatry,
23:57
because they were not honoring God now.
24:01
And God used Babylon to do it. So God used him and he did what
24:06
God needed him to do, which was bringing punishment on to the
24:11
people of Judah, hoping that they would repent of what they
24:14
had done. And now it still was not good
24:19
because he didn't. God didn't like what Babylon
24:22
did. So then judgment comes on
24:25
Babylon, and who does he use for that but the Medes and the
24:30
Persians, which is the territory of Iran today.
24:35
And so when we look at what's happening in the world and
24:38
history and look at our people honoring God or not honoring
24:44
God, and a lot of times we see that God repeats things.
24:49
And so I wonder how much of this repetition, like, what role is
24:53
Iran going to have? Like will God use Iran for his
24:58
club basically against nations of people who are not honoring
25:04
him? I don't know.
25:07
I don't know what's going to happen.
25:08
But we do see these things and I think it should be a a strong
25:13
warning to all of us that we need to turn to God and not
25:18
delay in doing this. OK.
25:21
Verse 29 Then at Belshazzar's command, Daniel with was clothed
25:27
in purple, a gold chain was placed around his neck and he
25:31
was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the Kingdom.
25:34
That's really interesting. After Daniel tells Belshazzar
25:38
this terrible stuff about what's going to happen to him, he he,
25:44
he honors his word, what he said he would do for Daniel.
25:48
Now look at this. But that doesn't change
25:51
anything. Was he trying for last minute,
25:53
you know, restoration? I don't know.
25:56
But verse 30 says that very night, Belshazzar, king of the
26:02
Babylonians, was slain, and Darius the Mede took over the
26:09
Kingdom at the age of 62. And that's the end of chapter 5
26:15
S God used an enemy. The enemy, you know, did what
26:22
God wanted him to do to, you know, bring the people of Judah
26:28
to repentance. And then God was then judgment
26:32
came upon Babylon. And that's what it's going to do
26:34
in the in the end times too. There is a mystery Babylon in
26:38
the end times and the things that you know, that's that the
26:42
mystery Babylon and the beast, they're going to be conquering a
26:45
lot of the world, but then God is going to destroy them.
26:51
So he doesn't let the destroyers complete their goal, but he does
26:58
let him do a certain amount. So I'm going to go through the
27:01
questions and answers from chapter 5 and then wrap it up.
27:08
So how and when did did Belshazzar become king?
27:12
After ruling for nearly 45 years, Nebuchadnezzar died in
27:17
562 BC. Three weak kings followed before
27:25
Naboni. Nabonidis came to power in 555
27:29
BC. Nabonidis oldest son Belshazzar
27:34
became Co Regent with his father about 550 BC.
27:40
He controlled the army and government alone for about 10
27:44
years while his father was away. When Belshazzar called
27:49
Nebuchadnezzar his father, he probably meant simply that he
27:54
was a successor of Nebuchadnezzar.
27:57
OK so I didn't realize that but the study Bible so I misspoke.
28:02
He wasn't literally his father, but a successor, so correct
28:09
that. OK, Why was using temple goblets
28:12
so offensive to God? These cups dedicated for worship
28:16
in God's temple had been stored in the Temple of Bel, which I
28:21
think is Satan, as trophies of war.
28:24
When Belshazzar's revellers used the goblets to toss their idols,
28:30
they were declaring in effect that God, if he existed at all
28:34
at all, was subordinate to the gods of Babylon.
28:38
Who were these gods? These gods were not identified,
28:41
but people of the region worshipped hundreds of gods.
28:45
Some estimates run as high as 25101.
28:49
Babylonian inscription reveals that in Babylon there were 53
28:54
temples of the chief gods, 55 chapels of Marduk, the chief
29:02
deity, 900 chapels for other gods, and more than 370
29:08
additional altars. I really had no idea there was
29:13
that much of that. OK, what was it wrong for Daniel
29:18
to be in charge of things God abhors?
29:22
Becoming chief of the magicians and others didn't necessarily
29:26
mean Daniel had authority over them.
29:28
This phrase may simply mean simply have acknowledged
29:33
Daniel's superior wisdom and ability to interpret dreams.
29:38
Even if this was an official position, there is no evidence
29:42
that Daniel was involved in a cult activities, all of which
29:45
God had declared to be off limits.
29:49
From Deuteronomy chapter 18 verses 9 through 12.
29:53
How old was Daniel by this time? Daniel was about 15 years old
29:59
when he was taken captive in six O 5 BC and the Babylonian Empire
30:05
fell in 539 BC. We can estimate that Daniel was
30:10
around 76 years old at this time.
30:15
Wasn't it dangerous to speak to the king this way?
30:20
Daniel had earned A reputation for fearlessly telling the truth
30:23
about dreams and visions. This likely made it easier for
30:28
him to refuse the King's gifts and honors.
30:31
Daniel worked to promote God's glory, not his own.
30:38
If God is God responsible for bad government, we might expect
30:44
an all powerful God to place only righteous leaders in
30:47
office. But he uses both good and bad
30:51
rulers to achieve his purposes. Nebuchadnezzar carried out God's
30:56
plan to discipline Judah, just as Roman persecution later
31:02
strengthened the church and advanced the spread of the
31:05
gospel. God will judge evil rulers, but
31:10
for reasons unknown to us, He allows sinful leaders and sinful
31:15
flower followers, including us, to live and even prosper.
31:20
In what language was the handwriting on the wall?
31:23
These the words were Aramaic, a language widely known in the
31:29
gentile world. It isn't clear why Belshazzar's
31:33
wise men couldn't read the words, but it's obvious why
31:37
Daniel. Why Daniel's explanation was
31:40
needed. Many could could mean numbered
31:44
or could refer to a 1 1/4 LB weight called Amina tic.
31:50
Tico, could mean weighed, or could refer to 2/5 of an ounce
31:56
weight called a shekel. Paris, the single Parisian
32:01
Parson, could mean divided or Persia, 1/2 shekel or a half
32:07
MENA. Without a context, the words
32:11
seemed meaningless. Why was Daniel rewarded for such
32:15
a negative interpretation? Belshazzar had promised that
32:19
whoever explained the meaning of the writing on the wall would
32:22
receive purple clothing, gold chain, and the third highest
32:26
position in the Kingdom, so he simply did what he had promised.
32:30
Belshazzar didn't like what he heard, but he must have
32:34
recognized the truth that he had dishonored the Most High God and
32:39
deserved to be punished. Who was Darius the Mede?
32:43
There is no record of such an individual outside of the Bible.
32:48
This was probably a local name for Cyrus the Great, the ruler
32:55
of Medio Persian Empire that conquered Babylon in 539 BC.
33:02
Some have suggested that Darius is another name either for
33:08
Ubaru, the governor Cyrus put in charge of Babylon, or for U or
33:14
Ubaru, who led the Persian's army the Persian army's assault.
33:20
Still others think Darius was another name for Cyrus's son
33:26
Canbassis, who ruled Persia several years later.
33:32
So sometimes the names get make it confusing for us because of
33:35
the different names that people were called.
33:38
Anyway, that is the end of chapter 5.
