The Irrevocable Message Daniel 5: 5, 24-31

Read the passage Daniel 5



1) God’s hand is a supernatural hand.                                                       
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

2)  What God records about a man cannot be rubbed off.                                          
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.

3) What God records about a man is not changeable.               
25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.

4) God may cut off life’s opportunity at any time.                                     
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

5) All men are totally accountable to God for their life’s doings.                   
27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

6) Man causes division, but God is the divider of man and of man’s rule and possessions.
28 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

7)  Man faces an ending over which he has no rule nor appeal; a great price is paid for denying God.                                                                
30 In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.
31 And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
