Daniel 5:1-7, 17
Belshazzar's mistakes
1. He failed to learn from the mistakes of the past.
Making a mistake could be the best thing to ever happen to you.
2. He profaned things that were sacred.
Many things that God has ordained are taken lightly in our society.
Interpretation of the writing
1. “mene” means numbered
2. “tekel” means weighed
3. “parsin” means divided
Application for us
1. Our days are numbered
It is appointed for man to die. (Heb. 9:27)
2. After that comes the judgment. (Prov. 16:2)
As much as our sin outweighs our works of righteousness, God's grace outweighs our sin.
3. There will be a division.
“All the nations will be gathered before Him, He will separate the people from one another, as a shepherd separates the sheep from the goats.” (Matthew 25:31-41)
