Daniel 5:5-7 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking. The king was throwing a huge party for a thousand of his nobles. He had the gold and silver cups that were taken from the temple in Jerusalem brought out so they could drink from them. As they did, a hand appeared and wrote a prophecy on the wall. King Belshazzar panicked and called all his wise men together to read it, but they could not. Then Daniel, one of the Lords faithful servants, was summoned and He interpreted the writing. The writing read MENE MENE TEKEL PARSIN. Mene = numbered - God has numbered the days of your reign and has brought it to an end. Tekel = weighed - You have been weighed on the balances and have not measured up. Parsin - divided - Your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and Persians. There were two men in this story. A godless king who had everything and Daniel, Gods servant. The city was overrun that night and the party king was killed, but Daniel lived and prospered under the new leadership. Seek God now! Many will try and wait until the very last minute, but in this kings story it was too late. God is long suffering, but there came a time when He shut the door of the ark (Gen 7:16). There will again be a time when the door will be shut (Matt 25;10). Dont wait until the writing is on the wall to begin a relationship with God. CHOOSE HIM NOW! pbwum
