Daniel: The Writing on the Wall

A major theme in the book of Daniel is that the Lord is sovereign over human kingdoms, and He gives it to anyone He wants. The last king of Babylon, Belshazzar is going to learn this the hard way that the writing is on the wall. We learn that it is better to learn from the consequences of someone else’s foolish choices than to choose foolishness ourselves and face its consequences. If the Lord sees our sins, confronts it, exposes it, and deals with it, where do we turn to? Jesus.
