Daniel Chapter 5

Will No warning be given for the takeover? Might Belshazzar have wondered! We might agree had there not been a Daniel Chapter 4. God wastes none of his works on father and on child. I don't think that it is an accident that Belshazzar and Belteshazzar's names are so closely linked to eachother. God used Daniel greatly in NEbuchadnezzar's life.

It seems that chapter 5 should begin, “In spite of all of these things Unbelief was rampant.” When will the uncircumcised come to the knowledge of God? I had had enough and God had had enough! should Daniel have said. In spite of the humbling, the son was unchanged. His heart was unwavering in his idolatries. Daniel told him this. Daniel was God’s man to translate the handwriting on the wall. God’s heart was to turn the hearts of the kingdom and not just the minds, as was Daniel’s ministry to do. Sometimes you think that you are only working on the minds of the kingdom. God will have a time of transition where the minds turn into the hearts. Turn them to God. the Fear of God is the beginning of wisdom. God turned NEbb. from a foolish mind to a wise mind. Daniel still kept his job in the foolish kingdom and in the next one.Daniel Chapter 5 Sometimes it looks like the nice guy finishes last, but there is always a Daniel Chapter 5 coming. Stand near the meek in that day.

this is not an unusual circumstance to have these two chapters providentially come to be read in my Bible time. Psalm 37 explains it far better than I ever could!
