The Writing On The Wall For Arrogant America

King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles

And drank with with them.

While Belshazzar was drinking his wine,

He gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets

That Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the Temple in Jerusalem,

So that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines

Might drink from them.

So they brought in the gold goblets

That had been taken from the Temple of God in Jerusalem,

And the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them.

As they drank the wine,

They praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.

SUDDENLY the fingers of a human hand appeared

And wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lamp stand in the royal palace.

The king watched the hand as it wrote.

His face turned pale and he was so frightened

That his knees knocked together and his legs gave way.

The king called out for the enchanters, astrologers and diviners

To be brought and said to these wise men of Babylon,

'Whoever reads this writing and tells me what it means

Will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain place around his neck,

And he will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.'

Then the king's wise men came in,

But they could not read the writing or tell the king what it meant.

So the king Belshazzar became even more terrified

And his face grew more pale. His nobles were baffled.

The queen, hearing the voices of the king and his nobles,

Came into the banquet hall. 'O king, live forever! She said.

'Don't be alarmed! Don't look so pale!

There is a man in your kingdom who has the spirit of the holy gods on him.

In the time of your father he was found to have insight and intelligence

And wisdom like that of the gods.

King Nebuchadnezzar your father—your father the king. I say--

Appointed him chief of the magicians, enchanters, astrologers and diviners.

This man Daniel, whom the king called Belteshazzar,

Was found to have a keen mind and knowledge and understanding,

And also the ability to interpret dreams, explain riddles

And solve difficult problems.

Call for Daniel, and he will tell you what the writing means.'

So Daniel was brought before the king, and the king said to him,

'Are you Daniel, one of the exiles my father the king brought from Judah?

I have heard that the spirit of the gods is in you

And that you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom.

The wise men and enchanters were brought before me

To read this writing

And tell me what it means, but they could not explain it.

Now I have heard that you are able to give interpretations

And to solve difficult problems.

If you can read this writing and tell me what it means,

You will be clothed in purple and have a gold chain place around your neck,

And you will be made the third highest ruler in the kingdom.'

Then Daniel answered the king.

'You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else.

Nevertheless, I well read the writing for the king and tell him what it means.

O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty

And greatness and glory and splendor.

Because of the high position he gave him,

All the peoples and nations and men of every language

Dreaded and feared him.

Those the king wanted to put to death, he put to death;

Those he wanted to spare, he spared;

Those he wanted to promote, he promoted;

And those he wanted to humble, he humbled.

But when his heart became arrogant and hardened with pride,

He was disposed from his royal throne and stripped of his glory.

He was given the mind of an animal;

He lived with the wild donkeys and ate grass like cattle;

And his body was drenched with the dew of heaven,

Until he acknowledged that the Most High God

Is SOVEREIGN over the kingdoms of men

And sets over them anyone he wishes.

'But you his son,' O Belshazzar, have not humbled yourself,

Though you knew all this.

Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of Heaven.

You had goblets from his Temple brought to you,

And you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines

Drank wine from them.

You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear of understand.

But you did not honor the God who holds in His hand your life

And all your ways.

Therefore He sent the hand that wrote the inscription.

'This is the inscription that was written:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

This is what these words means:

MENE: God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to and END.

TEKEL: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.

PERES: Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.'

Then at Belshazzar's command, Daniel was clothed in purple,

A gold chain was place around his neck,

And he was proclaimed the third highest ruler in the kingdom.

That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain,

And Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two.

(Daniel 5)

Likewise, the writing of God Almighty

Is on the wall of arrogant America,

She has defiled the Covenant of the Living God Who made her prosper;

Her “king” is a defiler of the Covenant of the Living God;

He has set himself up against the God of Heaven;

Him and all his nobles, enchanters, astrologers, diviners and “wise men”

And ALL those who support him, will prove worthless to him and to America.

Apostate Christians are in his crowd, giving him their seal of approval.

America has squandered what her Forefathers gave her,

Ignoring the principles that were given to her.

The days of ARROGANT America are numbered,

ALL her innumerable “gods” will be judged.

God Almighty has weighed her on His scales and found her wanting.

Her already divided kingdom will soon collapse.

Today, the world is raging against God, rushing toward oblivion. (Psalm 2)

America is being ground to powder because of her SIN against God.

Save yourself from this Corrupt Generation! (Acts 2:40)

As God has written, so shall it be! Hallelujah! Maranatha!

Father, Your Kingdom come, Your will be done, on earth as in Heaven!
