GOD IS AWESOME!
Hey everybody it's Sydney here welcome to the Study Of Daniel series day 4!!! Today we will be reading and studying Daniel chapter 5!!! Before we start studying this chapter please go actually read this chapter, then you will have a better understanding of what I will be writing. Now let's get started!!!!
Daniel chapter 5 is a very good example of why all children should learn from their parents' mistakes. If you don't learn from your parents' mistakes you might end up like Belshazzar, the son of King Nebuchadnezzar. King Nebuchadnezzar was punished for his pride, and refused to believe that Yahweh is the only God, and also for worshipping false idols. After King Nebuchadnezzar was punished he realized that God is the one true living God. Eventually King Nebuchadnezzar received his kingdom back and praised and worshipped God. Sadly Belshazzar didn't learn from his father's mistake of being prideful and worshipping false gods. One night God wrote a message on a wall to King Belshazzar during a party. The message read, "Mene, Mene," which means numbered. "Tekel," which means weighed, "Parsin," which means divided. Daniel later came to interpret the message. The interpretation of the message explained that Belshazzar's days were numbered and would end soon, that he has been weighed and hasn't met the right standards, and his Kingdom has been divided for the Medes and Persians to take over. Later that same night King Belshazzar was killed and Darius the Mede took over the Kingdom. If only Belshazzar learned from his father's mistake maybe he wouldn't have died the same night God gave him the message. If this was your first time ever reading this passage, I just want you to know and understand that if someone (not just your parents) make a mistake, take the time to learn and to remember. Try not to repeat that same mistake. Just remember that everyone makes mistakes, but also no one is perfect, only God is. Another point to this story is that because of Belshazzar's pride and his rebellion to not listen to God's warning, Belshazzar was killed. The main reason Belshazzar was killed was because he didn't acknowledge that God is the only God but instead kept the thought of himself being god. Pride is a very dangerous characteristic to have in your life so be careful of what you say and do. This is Sydney saying goodbye and see you next time!!!!!!
