BELSHAZZAR( PRINCE OF BAAL) WAS NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S GRANDSON. HE WAS A DRUNK AND AN IDOL WORSHIPPER.
THE BOOK OF DANIEL IS DIVIDED INTO TWO PARTS: THE FIRST PART IS HISTORIC, WHILE THE LATTER IS PROPHETIC.
DANIEL'S ENTIRE PROPHECY WAS GIVEN IN THE TIME OF JUDAH'S CAPTIVITY BY THE KING OF BABYLON. HE WAS ONLY A TYPE AND TEACHES US WHAT WILL HAPPEN UNDER THE RULE OF SATAN AS THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON.
Daniel 5:1 Belshazzar (PRINCE OF BAAL) the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
5:2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father (GRANDFATHER) Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
HE WAS ORGANIZING A DRUNKEN ORGY.
THOSE VESSELS WERE SACRED, AND SYMBOLIC OF WHAT WOULD BECOME THE HOLY COMMUNION. IT WAS A BLASPHEMY WHAT HE DID.
5:3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
AND AGAIN, THIS WAS A BLASPHEMY AGAINST GOD.
5:4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
GOLD, SILVER, BRASS, IRON, WOOD, STONE= SIX.
NUMBER #6 DENOTES THE HUMAN NUMBER IN BIBLICAL NUMERICS.
THE GREAT MEN WHO HAVE STOOD OUT IN DEFIANCE OF GOD (GOLIATH, THE KING OF BABYLON, AND THE FUTURE KING OF BABYLON=SATAN) ARE ALL EMPHATICALLY MARKED BY THIS NUMBER.
5:5 In the same hour (INSTANTLY) 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.
5:6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
HE WAS VERY SCARED.
5:7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans (WISE MEN), and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, "Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet (PURPLE=THE COLOR OF ROYALTY), and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom (HE WOULD BE RESPONSIBLE FOR THE THIRD KINGDOM)."
5:8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
5:9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
HE DID NOT HAVE A GOOD DAY.
5:10 Now the queen (QUEEN MOTHER = NITOCRIS, NEBUCHADNEZZAR'S DAUGHTER IN LAW) by reason of the words of the king and his lords cane into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, "O king, live forever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:
5:11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father (GRANDFATHER) light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers;
5:12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation."
5:13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, "Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah (SHOWING THAT THE KING HAD NO PERSONAL KNOWLEDGE OF DANIEL, OR HAD DISREGARDED HIM), whom the king my father (GRANDFATHER) brought out of Jewry (THERE IS NOT SUCH A WORD IN THE TEXTS. IT'S JUDAH).
5:14 I have ever heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
DON'T MISS THE INTERPRETATION OF THE DREAM IN PART TWO.
GOD BLESS
