The Book of Daniel_Chapter 5
King Belshazzar made a grand feast for his thousand ministers and drank wine with them.
While Belshazzar was drinking, he ordered that his father Nebuchadnezzar bring the gold and silver vessels that he had plundered from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king, his ministers, empresses, and concubines could drink in these vessels.
So they brought the gold vessels that were plundered from the treasury of the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king, his ministers, empresses, and concubines drank wine from these vessels.
They drink wine and praise the gods made of gold, silver, copper, iron, wood, and stone.
At that time, someone suddenly showed their fingers and wrote on the pink wall opposite the palace and the lamp stand. Wang saw his fingers writing,
My face changed, my heart was in panic, my waist seemed to be dislocated, and my knees were touching each other,
Give a loud command to bring in the magicians, Chaldeans, and prophets, and say to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever can read this text and tell me the explanation will be clothed in a purple robe, with a gold chain around his neck, ranking third in my kingdom.
So all the wise men of the king came in, but they could not read the text or tell the king the explanation.
King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, his face changed, and his ministers were also amazed.
The Empress Dowager entered the banquet palace because of the words spoken by the king and his ministers, saying, May the king live forever. Don’t panic in your heart, don’t change your face.
There is a person in your kingdom who has the spirit of the Holy Spirit. During the days of your father’s life, this person has a bright heart and wisdom, just like the wisdom of God. Your father Nebuchadnezzar, the king’s father, appointed him as a magician, a magician, a Chaldean, and a leader of divination.
In him lies a beautiful spirituality, as well as knowledge and intelligence, capable of fulfilling dreams, interpreting riddles, and solving puzzles. This man’s name is Daniel, and King Nebuchadnezzar also called him Bethishazzar. Now call him, and he will understand this.
Daniel was brought before the king. The king asked Daniel, “Are you Daniel among the exiled Jews?”? Is it my father the king who brought me captive from Judah?
I heard that you have the spirit of God, a bright heart, and wisdom of wisdom and goodness.
Now the philosophers and those who use magic are brought before me to read this text and tell me the explanation, but unfortunately they cannot explain it.
I heard that you are good at explaining and can solve doubts. If you can read this text and tell me the explanation, then you will wear a purple robe and a gold chain on your neck, ranking third in our country.
Daniel answered before the king, ‘Your gifts may belong to yourself, and your rewards may belong to others.’. But I will read this text for the king and tell him the explanation.
King, the Most High God has bestowed upon your father Nebuchadnezzar the throne, power, glory, and majesty.
Because of the great power bestowed upon him by God, all nations and tribes tremble and fear before him. He can live or die at will, rise or fall at will.
But his heart was arrogant, his spirit was stubborn, and he even acted arrogantly, so he was stripped of the throne and stripped of glory.
He was driven out from the world, his heart became like a beast’s heart, he lived with wild donkeys, he ate grass like an ox, and his body was drenched in the dew of heaven, until he knew that the Most High God ruled in the kingdom of men, and he established them to govern according to his own will.
Belshazzar, you are his son. Although you know all this, your heart is not inferior,
But he lifted himself up to the Lord in heaven, causing the vessels of his temple to be brought before you, and you, your ministers, empresses, and concubines, to drink in these vessels. You praise the God who cannot see, cannot hear, is ignorant and ignorant, made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone, but did not give glory to the God who has your breath in his hand and governs all your actions.
Therefore, reveal your fingers from God to write this text.
The written words are: Mini, Mini, Tikel, Uphaerxin.
The explanation is like this, Mini, that God has already counted the years of your kingdom and this is the end.
Tichle, you are weighed in the balance, revealing your shortcomings.
Peres (synonymous with Uphaerxin) is the division of your kingdom, which belongs to the Medes and Persians.
Belshazzar ordered that Daniel be clothed with a purple robe, and a golden chain be placed around his neck. He also issued a decree that he should be ranked third in the kingdom.
That night, King Belshazzar of Chaldea was killed.
At the age of sixty-two, the Medes took over the kingdom of Chaldea.
