Daniel 5: The Writing on the Wall - Judgment Falls on Babylon

Описание: “Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.” — Daniel 5 : 27

In this chapter, Babylon’s golden empire ends in a single night. The king is enjoying a drunken feast, when he calls for the stolen holy vessels from the temple in Jerusalem. He makes a blasphemous toast as he drinks from the cups taken from God's house, when a hand appears out of nowhere to write the verdict of Heaven.

Daniel 5 isn’t just history. It’s the anatomy of judgment. When arrogance crosses the line from ignorance to defiance, God intervenes directly. Belshazzar’s fall reveals how empires, and individuals, collapse when they exalt pleasure, ritual, and intellect over the fear of the Lord.

In this study we’ll cover:
The historical fall of Babylon (539 BC) and the role of Cyrus’ forces.
The meaning of the inscription Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
Why Belshazzar’s feast mirrors humanity’s final rebellion.
How Daniel’s unbending faith outlasts the world’s mightiest kingdom.

God’s power does not end where empires begin. God's power begins and ends empires.

Do You Believe in Jesus Christ?

If you believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and that He grants eternal life to those who believe in Him, you already have eternal life (John 20:31; 1 John 5:1, 10-11). Though you may die physically, you will never die spiritually (John 11:25-27). Eternal life means dwelling with God and Christ forever in the New Heaven and New Earth (Revelation 21:1-4).

The Gospel of Jesus Christ
These are the essential truths of the gospel. If you haven’t yet believed in Jesus Christ, read below and believe today:

All Have Sinned
“For all have sinned and come short of the glory of God” (Romans 3:23).
No one is without sin except Jesus Christ.

The Wages of Sin Is Death
“For the wages of sin is death; but the gift of God is eternal life through Jesus Christ our Lord” (Romans 6:23).
God's justice demands eternal punishment for sin.

We Must Be Perfect to Enter Heaven
“And there shall in no wise enter into it anything that defileth” (Revelation 21:27).
Only Jesus, as the perfect human, can meet this standard.

Salvation Cannot Be Earned
“For by grace are ye saved through faith... not of works” (Ephesians 2:8-9).
Our actions cannot save us; salvation is a gift from God.

Christ Died for Our Sin
“Christ died for our sins... He was buried, and He rose again the third day” (1 Corinthians 15:3-4).
Jesus paid the penalty for sin out of His love for us.

Believe to Receive Eternal Life
“He that believeth on me hath everlasting life” (John 6:47).
Believe that Jesus is the Christ, the Son of God, and receive eternal life (John 20:31; 1 John 5:10-11).

You Can Be Sure of Eternal Life
“These things have I written unto you that believe on the name of the Son of God; that ye may know that ye have eternal life” (1 John 5:13).
If you believe in Jesus, your salvation is secure forever (Hebrews 13:5).
