BELSHAZZAR’S FEAST
Daniel 5:17-28
PERSONAL MENTION
ATTEND MEET
IN FLORENCE

Serious elements of weakness were
operating: among the Chaldeans, and
the Medes from the north were cam-
paigrning against the capital. At this
very time they were encamped about
the city. But Belshazzar was intent on
his self gratification. In this he was
in accord with the courtiers, all of
whom should have been alert to drive
back the invading army.
As an expression of their indiffer
ence a royal banquet was arranged,
and it was participated" in by 1,000
lars, wdth their wives and concubines.
When the brain of the king ceased to
function normally as its action was
distorted by alcohol, always a poison,
he tried to think of some excess in ri
baldry that would surpasse the last
occasion. Then he ordered that the
gold and silver vessels be brought,
which had been taken as booty when
the temple at Jerusalem had been de
stroyed about 49 years before. These
were filled with wine and the already
intoxicated crowd was invited to
drink therefrom as they followed the
kingr’s example. It would be hard to
think up a grosser act of flagrant im
piety. Revelry broke loose in wilder
manner than ever.
Sobering came suddenly, however,
as in consternation they saw what ap
peared like just a man’s hand writing
on the wall. When none could interpret
the meaning, the wise men and ma
gicians were called in. They, too, were
helpless, though the king promised
great wealth for the meaning of those
three words. In this plight the queen,
possibly the' widow of Nebuchadnez-
zar,reminds that Daniel had been able
to grive the meaning of dreams, and
once when the kings could not even
recall the dream itself.
Daniel is summoned. It is interest
ing to note that he was not participat
ing in the licentiously wild banquet.
Not for the sake of the reward but as
the spokesman-, of God he will an
nounce the interpretation, though it
will not be pleasing to the great au
dience assembled. It is of value to
know various languages but it is of
decidedly greater importance to un
derstand the langruage of God in what
ever tongue the utterance may be giv
en. Our Great Teacher is always seek
ing to speak to his children through
the very routine of life as well as by
special approaches.
Three words stood out on the plas
ter. They referred to time, weights
and measures. The interpretation in
dicated utter failure of Belshazzar’s
rule.
