(1) "Mene'* means ‘•numbered" (v. 26) . “G*»d hath numbered thy kingdom •and finished It." (2) ‘‘Tekel" means "weighed" (v. 27) . “Thou art weighed In the ha I ances, nnd art found wanting." (3) "Peres" means “divided" (v 28) . “Thy kingdom Is divided, nnd glv- en to the Medes nnd Persians.” IV. The Judgment Executed (vv. 29-31). In that night was Belshazzar slain And Darius the Median took the king dom. The Chaldean dynasty ended with Belshazzar. So we may interpret this whole scene as pointing to the condi tions at the close of the times of the Gentiles, and ns foreshadowing the .prevailing conditions. Let us note: 1. The stupidity of men. They, like people today, would not learn by example. Nebuchadnezzar’s fate should have deterred Bnlshnzznr from such frivolity. 2. The magnificent splendor. This great feast was characterized pomp, display, parade. How char acteristic of this aget 8. Luxury. The famous hanging gar- gens of Babylon were a noteworthy example. Signs of luxury today are to every band. ' 4. The Ucentlooness of the king *wlth his wives and concubines.. U- 'Centlousness is notoriously prevalent ’today. 5. Blasphemous sacrilege.
