ATTITUDE TO THE LAND OF INHERITANCE

When I call those 25 men “Cabal’ or ‘Sect” that devise mischief, push wicked counsel and evil contents to spread or trend in the country/city as the Lord revealed to Ezekiel (11:1-2), I wasn't totally disconnecting them from those who hijack government, political powers, economic saboteurs and diplomatic influencers/pressurizers to selfish objectives.

However, the Lord God also classifies “Evil Communication or Evil Opinion Pushers and Evil Reporters” among the Cabals in the land. These are people who use media or mouths to raise Evil reports, say evil things about the country/city, and by what they say people are either discouraged, hopeless and would refuse to build or invest in that country or city because of bad images projected or evil reports spread by those men against the country, the city or the land of God.

For example, twelve spies returned from exploring the Promised Land and ten of them brought up or made up evil reports about the land, saying, “It’s a land that eats up its inhabitants on it, and there are giants (sins of anak) that see us as grasshoppers just as we saw ourselves before them.” Because of these rumors and tales, the people were greatly discouraged from advancing or desiring to inherit, invest or build, in the land that God gave to their fathers or ancestors. Imagine some persons speaking evil about your father's lands in your village, and by what you heard of the evils there you are now afraid to even go to your own hometown/village, talkless of building/investing therein. So, those who speak evil of an inheritance given to them or to others by God, and by what they say/do they succeed in discouraging development, hindering planting/farming in the land, prevent investments, or tourism/travelers from going to an inheritance of God to any people, God will destroy them and they shall be uprooted from the surface of the earth.

Therefore, not to become a stumbling against any development that will turn any wilderness into paradise or glorious city; Neither be the menace or plague that turns paradise or good lands into wilderness or terrible because of your activities, words or hatred. This is a warning: You cannot destroy one part of the earth that's an inheritance to others and think you shall inherit any part of the earth; That will be nullified against you. In the days to come, only those certified to have walked in meekness on the surface of the earth shall qualify to dwell on it and inherit any part of the earth they are given by God. Blessed are the meek, for they shall inherit the earth.

Woe to you that have used your mouth or actions to condemn any land that's an inheritance to any people, either by robbery or kidnapping you scared people away, or by violence you scared away farmers and businesses, or by the evil that came out of your mouth you caused that people would no longer build, invest, develop, repair or fix, any land that's an inheritance of God to any people whether you love or hate those people.

However, you should warn people of a danger or threat in a land, lest they blindly fall into the pits or traps. Yet that must not be in the spirit of discouraging them or separating them from the land. Your goal is to make every land or region far better than you met or saw it, and yet to save lives of people in any land you can. You must rejoice to see developments in any land, whether or not you are part of the land.

Now, having been reformed by these, let us now see the 25 men Cabal that were devising mischief and wicked counsel against the city by what they were saying or preaching in evil report against the city to discouraged people from building, investing or developing that city.

(Ezekiel 11:3 - CGV) - "that say, [The time] is not near to build houses: this [city] is the cauldron, and we are the flesh."

(Ezekiel 11:3 - FBV) - "They're saying, ‘Is this the time for us to be building houses? The city is the cooking pot, and we are the meat inside it.’"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

That was their counsel or advice, their sayings, which prevents people from rebuilding or reinvesting in the City: perhaps due to recent event that happened to the people and buildings in that city.

■1■ — The Ten spies described the Promised Land as a Land that eats up every people living on it, except the giants (Numbers 13:32).

■2■ — The Twenty-five Cabal described the City (Jerusalem) as a Cooking Pot (Cauldron) and the people in the city are the meat cooked in the cooking pot.

There are many People like them that can murmur and speak very evil and negative things about their lands, country, city or somewhere else, and yet they are dwelling or living on the same lands they so despise, accuse or condemn. What is being ungrateful? What is being wicked?

Some even say their country (not to mention) is already hell on earth, and can't imagine another hell. And one said if he ever see the angel that brought him into this country, he will challenge the angel saying, why did you bring me and put me in this country out of all places in the world?

Now to comfort those who mourn in any land, behold the whole earth is full of the glory of the Lord, and Hosanna is in the highest in any land where you are. No matter the darkness that covers the land, even the gross darkness that covers the people in various positions in the land, the Light and Glory of God fill the earth and all places where you are, been or will be. You just need to see through the light of God.

STRUCTURES OF ACCOUNTABILITY

I want you to learn this about Kingdom structures. It's not always about how much authority, power, strength, potency, control or dominion you have, but much more about your closeness to the King and position in the Kingdom Structures.

Example, assuming Mr. A is given great spiritual gifts, powers and authority to command in heaven or earth, and the miracles, signs and wonders will obey him. And assuming Mr. B do not have such authority, gift or powers, but he is to oversee Mr. A who have far more powers and influence than him in the field. You see that though Mr. A has higher spiritual gifts/Authority, he is subject or accountable to Mr. B who seems to have none.

A youth may be highly stronger, more skilled and talented than his or her father and mother, and yet in positioning he/she is under his/her parents. A male can be stronger than a female and yet be under her. A man may own or have built a public building and still have no right or authority to use or enter the female changing room or female rest room during an event with multitude of men and women using his facilities.

There are angels that are more gifted and more powerful than their leader or commander. And in some area, have more authority or access than their leader to whom they are accountable or subject to.

So, Authority is not by how the structure is defined in the kingdom, though the structure respects authority. You are not greater than some one just because you have more authority than the person: rather you are greater than the person because of your proximity to the King of Kings, because you are the person's access to the King of Kings and/or because are accountability over the person before the LORD.

So, in kingdom Structures, Accountability (Charge) over a person is what counts above Authority (power/right) over a person. It's not just about how much you command and people or things obey, or how much you control/influence; rather it's about how much you are held accountable over and for. If you understand this beyond “Bookish Knowledge” you will know and have deep submission and humility.

I am not interested in those God gave authorities over me, but I am interested in whoever God gave accountability over me.

[Hebrews 13:17] — "Listen to your spiritual leaders, and obey them: for they are watchful guardians of your souls, as one who must give account, that they may do it with joy, and not with grief: for that is unprofitable for you."

If God has given you “Charge” or “Commission” over me, and therefore you must give account of me to Him because you are accountable over me, then you are my leader and I must submit to you. It does not mean I am looking for a leader or for someone to be accountable over me. The only Person I want to be accountable over me is the Lord Jesus Christ Himself or the Spirit of God. But as I have learnt, the Lord God Himself decides whom He places accountable over the others in His Kingdom Structures.

He gave the commission to His Apostles, and He gave the Charge to Moses and Aaron making them accountable for the children of Israel to bring them out of Egypt (Exodus 6:13). And from that time, Moses knew God was holding him and Aaron accountable for the continued stay of Israel in Egypt, and Moses did all he could in agreement with God to see to it that the people were delivered from the bandage so that he would not bear the responsibility on his head in judgment.

Accountability was laid on the Lord Jesus Christ, and He had to come down from heaven to earth to fulfill. What else will man a man leave heaven of all places to earth to suffer and be hated and killed by men?

[John 6:38-40 BSB] — 38 For I have come down from heaven, not to do My own will, but to do the will of Him who sent Me. 39 And this is the will of Him who sent Me, that I shall lose none of those He has given Me, but raise them up at the last day. 40 For it is My Father’s will that everyone who looks to the Son and believes in Him shall have eternal life, and I will raise him up at the last day.”

Darius, a king of kings, built his kingdom structures with 120 satraps in authority, but over and above those in authority, he built structures of accountability with three men he was holding accountable for his kingdom not to suffer any loss or damages whatsoever. And wisely, he put a man of God and man of excellence among the three Structures of Accountability.

(Daniel 6:2 - CGV) — "and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one; that these satraps might give account to them, and that the king should have no damage."

(Daniel 6:2 - LBP) — "And over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that the generals might give account to them, so that they might not trouble the king."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Daniel was that man of God and man of excellence in the midst of the three Structures of Accountability that Darius set up above structures of authorities and therefore, there was no lost or damage in the entire realm or kingdom of Darius. With a man like Daniel, a man of God, man of integrit, man undefiled by women, man of excellence and professor in various fields of academic excellence and science and linguistics: Tell me how any loss or damage can come into Darius kingdom where such a man as Daniel the president or presiding structure of accountability over the structures of authorities or political structures? If the loss or damage is coming from spiritual, Daniel was a man of God or prophet to prevent it, and if the loss or damage is coming from incompetence or cluelessness, Daniel was of excellent spirit to prevent it.

I've seen men with political structures grab power or presidency but they do not have Accountability Structures or Competence. Do not be like them: rather learn from Darius, who built both the Structures of Authority and the Structures of Accountability above the it. In building structures, put Authority or politics below or beneath Accountability as Darius deed. Hence, 3 accountable men overseeing 120 authorities or Governors.

GOD WILL EXPOSE THE CABALS

Someone wrote saying, “Small minds talk about people, but great minds talk about ideas.” This saying is not according to the wisdom of God, but to the wisdom of philosophers among men who hold such philosophy. There is no man or mind that talks about people as much as God Himself talks about people. He talks more about people more than He talks about ideas, and yet He is the greatest Mind.

In talking about people, God does not gossip about people, but He does talk about them behind their backs or without their knowledge/presence when He talks about them to either angels or to His prophets/messengers. Yes, the Most High talks about the dirty secrets of men or women to His Ministers. Yet, that is not gossiping or talebearing, but confessing or exposing them.

There was an instance, in which 25 great minds gathered and were talking about ideas (precisely evil ideas, mischief, wicked counsel, evil content agendas), by which they secretly rule and dictates what goes on in the public from behind the scenes; and meanwhile, God was talking about those great minds to His ministers, revealing their dirty secrets and evil agendas.

(Ezekiel 11:2 - LBP) - "Then the LORD said to me, Son of man, these are the men who devise mischief and give wicked counsel in this city,

(Ezekiel 11:2 - BSB) - And the LORD said to me, “Son of man, these are the men who plot evil and give wicked counsel in this city.”

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

He did not give him the gifts of knowledge to automatically know these things about those 25 men, for He would rather talk and expose them with His Mouth in conversation.

The Lord God was talking about those 25 men to His minister, Ezekiel, saying, “These are the men that devise mischief, that give wicked counsel in the city, etc.” It’s like saying these are the secret “Cabals (Sects)” that hold secret meetings in the dark and decides the governance, operations and devices in the country, city or society, implementing evil and wicked schemes and bad counsels and mischiefs that make the country either ungovernable without them or enslaved by them.

Now you know a reference where the Lord God revealed and exposed the city/country Cabals that plant wiles, devise mischief and wicked schemes, and spread mischievous counsels or mischievous contents to seduce and corrupt the morals of the people with immorality, devilish doctrines and pushing evil but trending contents to fill people's minds.

So, God knows and will expose all the evil Cabals behind the scenes.

BUILDING KINGDOM STRUCTURES

After God created the worlds, He was pleased to create and set over them rulers as lights, stars and sun, over them. Though He Himself is the Sun or Light and Ruler of all creations, He was pleased to ordain, appoint and exalt other sun and stars to rule on His behalf while He presides Supreme above and over all of them. Thus, the Kingdom of God is structured with “Ministers” or “Princes” whom He appointed and ordained, and by whom He divided or structured His Domain and Realms into distinct Government Areas or Divisions with structured boundaries.

So, there are both “Structures of Authorities” and “Hierarchies of Authorities” in Rankings within frameworks of the Kingdom of God both in the heavens and on earth. Now, that's how God rules or runs His Kingdom and Creation, through Ordinances or Ministers whom He appointed to represent Him in various political divisions or structures, so that even though He Himself can do all things by Himself at the same time, He will rather share His Responsibilities or Authorities to various Ordinances and Ministers (Princes) He appointed in His pleasure.

(Daniel 6:1 - CGV) — "It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom a hundred and twenty satraps, who should be throughout the entire kingdom;"

(Daniel 6:1 - LBP) — "IT pleased Darius to appoint over the kingdom a hundred and twenty generals to be over his whole kingdom;"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Darius had the greatest kingdom in the world that made him king of kings by then. But his pleasure of Kingdom came from his choosing, appointing and ordaining 120 princes as generals, lords or rulers over his kingdom. Him alone being the only lord, the only ruler or administrator couldn't please him after he had the kingdom.

● God appointed the kingdom to Darius, and Darius in turn appointed the kingdom to 120 rulers accountable to 3 presidents

● The Father appointed a Kingdom to the Lord Jesus, and the Lord Jesus in turn appointed the kingdom to 12 Rulers/Judges (the Apostles) over Israel in the Kingdom of God - [Luke 22:29-30]

Within their own jurisdictions, those 120 Princes or 12 apostles also had power to appoint or ordain whomever they would to also build a chain of hierarchy below them for structure in order of governance and division of responsibilities and authorities.

One of the things that the Anointing of Samuel changed in David was to move him from being a last administrator in rank to becoming the first administrator. Thus he began to become by first appointing keeper of his father's sheep instead of him doing it himself (1 Samuel 17:20), against where his eldest brother wanted David as the last born to remain (1 Samuel 17:28); and even the carriage or package his father assigned to him to bring into the field to his brethren there, David also assigned the carriage to another keeper (1 Samuel 17:30). So, by the time he stood before the king to take up the challenge to face Goliath, David had already built few structures under him.

You see David built kingdom structures before he received the Kingdom, but Darius received the Kingdom before he built kingdom structures. Learn.

THE SPIRIT’S LEVITATION AND ELEVATION


The Spirit lifted me up against gravity and my self weight: I felt so light, and also felt comfortably secure because the Spirit was more real to me than gravity or falling down. I had almost forgotten that Spirits are powerful and stronger than natural forces or carnal weight. No matter how much gentle the Spirit of God moves and lights, dwelling inside tiny things or beings like us, do not forget the Spirit is higher than might or power. I understood better what the Lord God meant by “Not by Might, nor by Power, but by My Spirit, “ says the Lord. The Spirit of God is in a transcendental class of His Own far beyond the Might, Strength or Powers. He does not only have power, but He is Power above powers. The Lord Jesus said, “Wait until you are endued with Power from on high or you shall receive power after the Holy Ghost is come upon you.” The Power He gave us to become the Sons of God through our faith in Him is the Spirit of God He gave us.

The Spirit of God is Power applicable both in Spiritual realms and in the Physical realms. He is both a spiritual Power and a physical Power as you saw Samson had. For Samson was not basically powerful by capacity of his muscles or natural strength, rather the Spirit of God was the physical Power that was in Samson, enabling him to lift gates that would have strained 100 men to lift, to tear a lion like a lamb or to smite a thousand soldiers in one spot a jawbone etc.

Now, learn this, spirits are strong both in spirit realms and in natural or physical realms. But a natural man or beast only has a strength that applies in his natural or physical realm but does not apply in the spirit realms. One of the transfigurations in translation or change that the first resurrection will accomplish in those who are blessed and holy enough to partake therein is the translation of the natural body into a spiritual body.

[1 Corinthians 15:42-45] — "So also is the resurrection of the dead. It is sown in corruption; it is raised in incorruption: It is sown in dishonor; it is raised in glory: it is sown in weakness; it is raised in power: It is sown a natural body; it is raised a spiritual body. There is a natural body, and there is a spiritual body. And so it is written, The first man Adam was made a living soul; the last Adam was made a quickening spirit."

I hereby mention two Men of God in the scriptures that were lifted up and taken to a location around the temple of God by two different spirits. Both of these Men of God were referred to as “Son of man” in the scriptures, and both were in physical bodies, but a Spirit without a body took them up to a location in the same physical temple at different times:

■ The Lord Jesus Christ Himself was the Son of man that was taken up by a spirit called the Devil or Satan to the pinnacle of the temple, but before this happened behold:

■ Ezekiel the prophet was the son of man that was taken up the Spirit of God and taken to the eastern gate of the LORD’S house.

(Ezekiel 11:1 - AFV) - "And the Spirit lifted me up and brought me to the eastern gate of the LORD’S house, which faces eastward. And behold, twenty-five men were at the opening of the gate; among whom I saw Jaazaniah the son of Azzur, and Pelatiah the son of Benaiah, princes of the people."

(Ezekiel 11:1 - FBV) - "Then the Spirit picked me up and took me to the eastern entrance of the Lord's Temple. Twenty-five men were gathered there at the entrance. I recognized among them Jaazaniah son of Azzur and Pelatiah son of Benaiah, leaders of the people."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Ezekiel was inside the temple yard or not far away from the Eastern Gate: and the Lord could have just called him to walk or come to that Eastern Gate of the Temple where Ezekiel was. But notwithstanding the short distance from where he was to where the Lord wanted to show him things, the Lord still made him to use flight of the Spirit to get there. Like a man who could have walked 50-100 meters to a place, but yet aircraft or the Spirit lifted him up and brought him there instead.

Now understand that Ezekiel was able to see those he saw in the gates because of the flight or uplifting of the Spirit of God that brought him. A reason he was uplifted by the Spirit instead of just humanly walking to the gate to see for himself, was to enable him see properly and efficiently from the elevation he was uplifted.

From where he was seeing, he numbered another set of 25 men gathered in the eastern gate of the temple, but different from the first set of 25 men he earlier saw in the same eastern side of the temple worshiping the sun toward the east. This set of 25 men, different from the other 25 men, where gathered in the eastern entrance but no image of jealousy that provokes to jealousy in this entrance gate unlike as it was earlierin the Northern gate before the LORD destroyed them all.

However, though he was uplifted by the Spirit to see these men, he was not enabled to know them by supernatural knowledge, but by facial recognition or outward appearances: Thus, he only recognized two among them, but not knowing all the remaining 23 men.

There was another man of God in our contemporary times, whom the Lord God had lifted up to a fellowship gathering of people in a church or fellowship venue: In this case, the man of God did not recognize any of the people gathered in the fellowship, but he had knowledge or word of knowledge in that vision to know supernatural secrets of everyone of them there particularly the trials each and all of them were facing in their lives, and yet they were all gathered to worship God sincerely in the midst of their trials and sufferings. Their genuine worship inspite of their great trials and problems caused God shed tears and the heavens paid great attention to God and to them then.

Nevertheless, though Ezekiel was not seeing them through divine knowledge or word of knowledge (but by mere acquaintance or facial recognition of just two among them), what Ezekiel was lacking in knowledge about them God would use His Mouth to tell or explain to Ezekiel about the 25 men He was showing him.

(Daniel 5:31 AFV) — "And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old."

(Daniel 5:31 - LOGOS) — "And Darius the Mede succeeded to the kingdom, being sixty-two years old."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

DARIUS, A KING OF KINGS

After the preceding Bible verse (containing “that night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was killed”), came this next bible verse above (containing “Darius the Mede took the kingdom, when he's 62 years”)

In the Gap between the preceding Bible verse or demise of Belshazzar and the next/current Bush or the beginning of the Reign of Darius as “King of Kings, These things happened: —

○1● — The first segment of the prophecy/interpretation of Daniel to Nebuchadnezzar's first dream were fulfilled. The head of gold (kings of Babylon) was overthrown by the chest of silver (kings of Persia) as was seen in the gigantic Image or Statue in Nebuchadnezzar's visions.

○2● — All the prophecy/interpretation of Daniel to Belshazzar about the Handwriting on the wall was fulfilled.

○3● — The first king of Persia, the very king that overthrew the head of gold in the Silver Reign or the very king that killed Belshazzar in the preceding Bible verse, was omitted in this Chapter or thread: That king was called “Cyrus the Great” king of Persia.

So, before Darius the Mede took the kingdom, Cyrus the Persian took the kingdom from the Chaldeans or Babylonians through conquest. Darius in the bible verse “took the kingdom” but as “succeeded or as a succession” because he only succeeded king Cyrus, who actually took the kingdom by warfare and conquest (not mere succession). So, the coming of Darius the Mede, after Cyrus the Persian, as king of kings was in the fulfilling of the “Peres” of Daniel concerning sharing or dividing the kingdom to both the Medes and the Persians.

As for Daniel's portion in the Peres, due to Belshazzar exalting him into the third highest ruler in the kingdom: Daniel enjoyed in both the Reign of Cyrus he did not mention in this chapter and the Reign of Darius he mentioned in this chapter. This he testified in next chapter:

[Daniel 6:28 BSB] — So Daniel prospered during the reign of Darius and the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

So, there was a Cyrus in power before Darius in power over Daniel. And don't judge this according to the order Daniel presented these two kings, lest you think Darius came first before Cyrus as in the reference I just cited. Just know that from the death of Belshazzar, Daniel was no longer placing chapters or revelations chronologically because he seemed to place events that happened during Darius Era ahead of events that happened during Cyrus Era. Examples;

In “Daniel 1:21” — Daniel remained there (Babylon) until the first year of King Cyrus. That first year of king Cyrus was the year he killed Belshazzar and overthrew the kingdom of Babylon, and took Daniel away from Babylon as well. But in the top bible verse above, Daniel did not mention Cyrus but Darius.

Again, the message or revelations of “Daniel 10” would have come before those in “Daniel 9” chronologically:

■1> “Daniel 7” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 7” came in the first year of the Reign of Belshazzar, far before the Handwriting on the Wall. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 7’ came before ‘Daniel 5’ but after “Daniel 4.”

[Daniel 7:1 BSB] — In the first year of the reign of Belshazzar over Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he lay on his bed. He wrote down the dream, and this is the summary of his account.

■2> “Daniel 8” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 8” came in the third year of the Reign of Belshazzar, far before the Handwriting on the Wall. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 8’ came before ‘Daniel 5’ but after “Daniel 7.”

[Daniel 8:1 BSB] — In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.

■3> “Daniel 10” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 10” came in the third year of the Reign of Cyrus, far before the Reign of Darius. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 10’ came before ‘Daniel 9’ but after “Daniel 5.”

[Daniel 10:1 BSB] — In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia, a message was revealed to Daniel, who was called Belteshazzar. The message was true, and it concerned a great conflict. And the understanding of the message was given to him in a vision.

So, even in 3 years into Cyrus reign, Daniel still retained Belteshazzar as his nickname, which Nebuchadnezzar gave him for his wisdom and insight — Meaning Daniel still remained prominent in his reputation for wisdom of the gods in the Reign of Cyrus before Darius.

■4> “Daniel 9” — The Visions, Revelations and Messages of Daniel in “Daniel 9” came in the first year of the Reign of Darius, which is the focus in the top bible verse above. Chronologically, ‘Daniel 9’ came last after “Daniel 12.”

[Daniel 9:1 BSB] — In the first year of Darius son of Xerxes, a Mede by descent, who was made ruler over the kingdom of the Chaldeans



Some historical sources disagree with this verse saying Darius was not the son of Xerses (Ahasuerus) but reverse is the case, and that Darius was not from Mede but was a Persian.

To arrange the historic names according to their order of reign, their parentage, and the length of their reign, here's a summary based on historical sources:

1. **Cyrus the Great** (Cyrus II of Persia)
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned first
- **Son of**: Cambyses I
- **Length of Reign**: 559–530 BCE, approximately 29 years

2. **Darius I** (Darius the Great)
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned second
- **Son of**: Hystaspes
- **Length of Reign**: 522–486 BCE, approximately 36 years

3. **Xerxes I** (Ahasuerus in the Bible)
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned third
- **Son of**: Darius I
- **Length of Reign**: 486–465 BCE, approximately 21 years

4. **Artaxerxes I**
- **Order of Reign**: Reigned fourth
- **Son of**: Xerxes I
- **Length of Reign**: 465–424 BCE, approximately 41 years

So the order according to reign is:

1. Cyrus the Great
2. Darius I
3. Xerxes I (Ahasuerus)
4. Artaxerxes I




Well, you recall I said “Daniel 9” is chronologically the last chapter of Daniel, and should have come last or after “Daniel 12.” It was in Daniel 9 that he understood by books that Israel should spend 70 years in exile before they are restored into their land and freedom again. But Gabriel came to reveal 70 weeks as against 70 years for the total redemption and restoration of Israel and the world.

However, the 70 years were completed in the first year of Darius, which is when Darius was 62 years ago according to the top Bible verse above. So, though it seems all Daniel's visions and revelations came after Daniel was delivered from the lions’ den, chronologically all Daniel's visions and revelations in the Book of Daniel actually happened before he was thrown and delivered from the Lions' den.

On the hand, Daniel 10, Daniel 11 and Daniel 12, were together as the same Angel (not Gabriel) was speaking with Daniel throughout the three chapters. It was the same angel that the Prince of Persia (archangel incharge of Persia) arrested in the third year of Cyrus, and that angel was in custody with the kings (not one king but all the remaining kings) of Persia for 21 days before another prince (chief of the princes) or archangel Michael incharge of Israel came to rescue the angel that was trapped for 21 days by another archangel or prince of Persia.

But the angel said something that happened in their realm but had not happened in the world yet: he said, but I also helped Michael in the first year of Darius, just as Michael help me in during the 21 days I was held by the prince of Persia. He had seen all the kings of Persia that were to come during the 21 days with them, and he promised to return and fight back the prince of Persia, which would result in the kingdom taken away from Persia and given to the Greece, fulfilling the second segment of Nebuchadnezzar's first Dream, Kingdom of Bronze Tommy and Thighs taking over from the kingdom of Silver Chest.

So don't mistake mentioning of the first year of Darius in Daniel 11 as if it was so already in calendar, though in spiritual it already happened

[Daniel 11:1-3 BSB] — “And I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, stood up to strengthen and protect him. Now then, I will tell you the truth: Three more kings will arise in Persia, and then a fourth, who will be far richer than all the others. By the power of his wealth, he will stir up everyone against the kingdom of Greece. Then a mighty king will arise, who will rule with great authority and do as he pleases.

[Daniel 11:1-3 GW] — During Darius the Mede’s first year as king, I strengthened and defended Michael.” ⌞The person who looked like a human continued,⌟ “What I am about to tell you is the truth. Three more kings will rule Persia. Then there will be a fourth, who will become much richer than all the others. As he becomes strong through his wealth, he will turn everyone against the kingdom of Greece. “Then a warrior-king will come. He will rule a vast empire and do as he pleases.



Back to the top Bible verse above:

(Daniel 5:31 AFV) — "And Darius the Mede took the kingdom, being about sixty-two years old."

Darius’ age was revealed in the bible at the time he took the kingdom. It was not the days of his kingdom that was numbered as in Mene, but rather it was the days of his life before he received the Kingdom. He was 62 years before he took the kingdom, and from then forward, his remaining days were the days of his kingdom and not just days of his life. We saw from the historical sources I mentioned earlier that Darius reigned for 36 years. If we adopt this, then we say his Kingdom endured for 36 years. But his age was 98 years on earth.

Being 62 years, he was born 8 years after Judah and Jerusalem were carried into captivity of Babylon by Nebuchadnezzar. So, being that he is 62 years and in his first year reign, the People of Judah have also completed their 70 years imprisonment or captivity. Daniel worried about that in “Daniel 9.” Well let me recite the bible reference using GW (God's Word) translation because it rearranged “Darius son of Xerxes (Ahasuerus)” as other bible versions puts it into “Xerxes son of Darius” as GWN Or GW puts it to correlate with historical sources.

[Daniel 9:1-3 GW] — Xerxes’ son Darius, who was a Mede by birth, was made ruler of the kingdom of Babylon. 2 In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, learned from the Scriptures the number of years that Jerusalem would remain in ruins. The LORD had told the prophet Jeremiah that Jerusalem would remain in ruins for 70 years. 3 So I turned to the Lord God and looked to Him for help. I prayed, pleaded, and fasted in sackcloth and ashes.

However, Daniel was not the only man of God and prophet that sought for the restoration of Jerusalem in the Reign of Darius. Somehow, while Daniel was prospering in the Reign of Darius and Cyrus, he did not realize that what God promised through Jeremiah on the 70 years had already begun to happen through other men of God, like Ezra. Infact, there were three or four prophets and bible books beside Daniel that were written during and in connection with the first and second year of Darius, king of Persia, regarding the rebuilding and restoration of the destroyed Jerusalem from the exile. These include:

♤1♤ — EZRA: — Ezra the Priest began with the first year of Cyrus to rebuild the temple, but he was stopped by the oppositions, until the first and second year of Darius.

[Ezra 1:1-4 GW] — 1 The promise the LORD had spoken through Jeremiah was about to come true in Cyrus’ first year as king of Persia. The LORD inspired the king to make this announcement throughout his whole kingdom and then to put it in writing. 2 This is what King Cyrus of Persia says: The LORD God of heaven has given me all the kingdoms of the world. Then he ordered me to build a temple for him in Jerusalem (which is in Judah). 3 May God be with all of you who are his people. You may go to Jerusalem (which is in Judah) and build a temple for the LORD God of Israel. He is the God who is in Jerusalem. 4 All who ⌞choose to⌟ remain behind, wherever they may be living, should provide the people who are leaving with silver, gold, supplies, livestock, and freewill offerings to be used in God’s temple in Jerusalem.

[Ezra 4:4-5] — "And the people of the land weakened the hands of the people of Judah, and hindered them in building, and continued hiring people against them, plotting to frustrate their counsel, all the days of Cyrus king of the Persians, and until the reign of Darius king of the Persians."

[Ezra 4:24] — "Thus the work of the house of God in Jerusalem ceased, and it was at a standstill until the second year of the reign of Darius king of the Persians."

[Ezra 6:12-15] — "And may the God whose name dwells there, overthrow every king and people who shall stretch out his hand to alter or destroy the house of God which is in Jerusalem. I, Darius have made a decree; let it be diligently attended to.” Then Tattenai the governor on this side beyond the river, Shethar-Boznai, and his fellow servants, according to that which King Darius sent, so they did diligently. And the elders of the Jews and the Levites built, at the prophecy of Haggai the prophet, and Zechariah the son of Iddo; and they built up, and finished it, by the decree of the God of Israel, and by the decree of Cyrus, and Darius, and Artaxerxes, kings of the Persians. And they finished this house by the third day of the month of Adar, which is the sixth year of the reign of Darius the king."

♤2♤ — HAGGAI: — Haggai the prophet began with the second year of Darius the king of kings.

[Haggai 1:1 BSB] — 1 In the second year of the reign of Darius, on the first day of the sixth month, the word of the LORD came through Haggai the prophet to Zerubbabel son of Shealtiel, governor of Judah, and to Joshua son of Jehozadak, the high priest, stating”

♤3♤ — ZACHARIAH: — Zachariah the prophet began with the second year of Darius the king of kings.

[Zechariah 1:1 BSB] — In the eighth month of the second year of Darius, the word of the LORD came to the prophet Zechariah son of Berechiah, the son of Iddo, saying:

(Daniel 5:30 MKJV) — "In that night Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was killed."

(Daniel 5:30 - FBV) — "On that very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was killed"

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

THAT SAME NIGHT THIS KING WAS KILLED

Since the mene came that night, and told the king that God has numbered and ended the days of your kingdom, (leaving no fraction of day left to him), that same night must be the end of days to the king. And since the predetermined days did not end naturally, but were brought abruptly to an end, the death of Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was not a natural death but a man-made forced death — he was killed by men.

The difference between the “Mene” of Belshazzar and the “Mene” of Hezekiah: God Himself numbered the days of their kingdom, but God added 15 years to the days of Hezekiah’s kingdom when his days were about to end (Isaiah 38:1-5), while on the other hand God numbered the days of Belshazzar's kingdom when his days were far from ending and God finished it or brought it to an end (Daniel 5:26). So to one king, days were given; but to the other, days were taken away. However it was according to what they were weighing on the scales of God: Hezekiah was weighing (In God's Memory/Records) how much he served God faithfully and with wholehearted devotion walking and doing righteously before the LORD God. But that was not the case with the king who was found wanting on God's scales.

To be found wanting on the Scales of God's final judgment of you is to not be found written in the book of life. No one who is found written in the book of life is altogether found wanting on the scales of Tekel. The king to whom God added life was in the book of the living, not struck out yet.

The same night the king of the Chaldeans/Babylonians saw and heard the Handwritten Judgment and evaluation of his life was the night he was caught off from the living beings by killers. It was not just the Handwriter that came for him that night of his party, but the messengers of his destruction were also coming for him. The Handwriting on the Wall was not a warning to him but was rather his appointment with death and judgment. It was not written for him to repent or to live by what was written on the wall for him; rather it was written as the verdicts or final sentences of the Supreme Justice and Judge of all from heaven.

Again, I tell you, in the final judgment when books shall be opened to judge the living and the dead, including the Book of Life opened to search for people's records or values in eternal life, there shall also be Handwritings of the final verdicts or final sentences of the Supreme Judge of all upon each person.

When the bible said this:
[Hebrews 9:27 AKJV] — And as it is appointed to men once to die, but after this the judgment:

It means every man has appointment with death once and after the appointment with death another appointment with the Judgment.

+

(Daniel 5:29 MKJV) — "Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet and a golden chain around his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom."

(Daniel 5:29 - LOGOS) — "Then Belshazzar commanded, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put the golden chain about his neck, and proclaimed concerning him that he was the third ruler in the kingdom."

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

DANIEL IN THE PERES

Even though this was the last thing Belshazzar said and did in the scriptures, it was the greatest thing he did in his last night on earth before his death. He kept his words of promise, in that he commanded the reward for the performances on he who had performed and earn the reward irrespective of:

◇1◇ Daniel declining the Reward as common gift beneath him

◇2◇ Daniel having preached, read and interpreted Scriptures on the wall in words that condemned the king's pride against God, reproached the king's actions/deeds in his party with wives, and princes, and having told the king his days are not only numbered but also already brought to an end, and that the king's evaluation on God's weighing scales revealed the king is worthless, useless, valueless, vain or found wanting, and that even his kingdom is divided and given away to foreigners.

Not all kings would have tolerated this much dishonor that is not dishonest in the presence of their wives, concubines, lords, nobles, wisemen and subjects. They all sang and prayed for him that his kingdom will live forever, but this man of God (Daniel) came with messages that spoke differently from what others say to the king in fear. Daniel needed not fear the king since God already struck the king with fear and trembling by appearance of the Handwriter on the Wall and the sealing of that which is written to the king and all his wisemen.

If the king is in fear and trembling but consults you the man of God to deliver him from his fears, why should you fear the king that seeks you for deliverance from his fears?

Three or Four Prophets spoke to Kings in their last day or a day to the kings’ last day before those kings were killed (in battle): These three or four prophets were

● Samuel speaking to Saul the king in a day to his last day before his imminent death by sword/arrow of war with the Philistines [1 Samuel 28]

● Micaiah speaking to Ahab the king in a day to his last day before his imminent death by sword/arrow of war at Ramoth Gilead [1 Kings 22]

● Isaiah speaking to Hezekiah the king in his last day before his imminent death, but the king by prayer to God reversed the last day prophecy and 15 years more were added to him [Isaiah 38]

● Daniel speaking to Belshazzar the king in his last day before his imminent death by sword/arrow of war of the Medes and Persians [Daniel 5]

Of these four instances:

● Some king sought the messenger even though the messenger had died, and the king used the services of a forbidden arts or forbidden magic (just because it works) to conjure up the peaceful resting soul and spirit of the deceased messenger, to whom the king was not seeking or heeding while the messenger was alive, only to seek him when he's dead, buried and asleep in ordinances silence and motionlessness;

● Some king maltreated or persecuted the messenger for his message and despised his message;

● Some king by passed or ignored the messenger but took his message very very seriously to points of going straight to God or to the Source of the message to seek some waivers or benefits of more grace (more time) period;

● And some king was the best at treating the messenger the messenger well, as he would have treated the third highest man in his kingdom, but he seemed satisfied that his message healed him of his fears, trembling, or writings that used to be scary and mysterious to him; and now he's healed or free from horrors of seeing the once mysterious writings, he would only reward the messenger/healer but careless about the urgency of his message

In the top bible verse above, Belshazzar promoted and exalted Daniel to being proclaimed the third highest ruler of the Kingdom of Babylon.

+This means Daniel, a man of God, was the last appointed ruler in the kingdom of ancient Babylon before the kingdom moved from head of gold to a silver chest. Daniel, the last thing to be exalted in Babylon in the night when all things fell in Babylon. Daniel a Ruler in Babylon:} Nevertheless, even with Daniel among the principalities and powers and rulers of this world in the kingdom of Babylon, the message of Daniel was stronger or more powerful than the position and reign of Daniel in Babylon

++This also means that the King wisely incorporated Daniel into the “Peres” or “Upharsin” of God to the king's kingdom. When Daniel talked on “Peres,” he said “Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians,” but as Daniel had become the third highest ruler in that same kingdom, if he was to repeat that statement he would replace “Your Kingdom” with “Our Kingdom” for he's been a third greatest ruler in it.

God accepted the alteration or addition of Daniel into the “Peres” made by Belshazzar by adding Daniel as the third ruler. For this reason, that position of being third highest prince/ruler was sustained for Daniel in Peres that awarded the Kingdom to the Medes and Persians. So, Daniel continued to be the third highest ruler, even after Babylon kingdom and in MedoPersian kingdom under Darius the great king of kings.

It was Belshazzar's exaltation of Daniel that God sustained for Daniel in the “Peres” and therefore in the Persian Kingdom to a degree that Daniel, a Jew, was hated by his colleagues in the class and they schemed to have him thrown into Lions’ den.

My point is, had it been Daniel's rejection of Belshazzar reward was sustained, Belshazzar's destruction would not have left him with one man of God he raised to power and sustained a dynasty through Daniel. Where else have you heard that a man who was part of the kingdom or administration of a destroyed kingdom still retained his position and powers as the third in Command over a world empire in the next kingdom or administration that took over, without the man compromise, bribery, or corruption? So, there's something to thank Belshazzar for Daniel.

(Daniel 5:28 NIV) — Peres : Your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.”

(Daniel 5:28 - AMPC) — Peres, Your kingdom and your kingship are divided and given to the Medes and Persians. [Foretold in Isa. 21:2, 5, 9.]


♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

PERES

The difference in impacts between “Mene” and “Peres” regarding the kingdom of Belshazzar include: Mene struck the days of his kingdom, but Peres struck the dynasty of his kingdom. If there had been “Mene” but not “Peres,” Belshazzar would have died and his son or offspring would have continued to have his kingdom as heritage or inheritance.

Behold, there was “Peres”— Meaning, “Divided or Shared in a context of a Will. If a wealthy dies, and had written a will on how his kingdom, estates, properties and inheritance, are to be divided or shared among his children, brethre, friends, faithful servants, etc., that Will, read by an authority by law is a “Peres” that has determined the division, transference and inheritors or possessors of the late man's inheritance.

But the Peres or last Will of Dividing/Sharing of his kingdom among the families of the many wives and concubines and 1000 lords that Belshazzar had was in his power to determine. Rather, the Handwriting on the Wall also contained the Peres or Upharsin of his kingdom, as determined and written by God and the heavens above. And according to how God wrote Peres, Belshazzar's kingdom will be divided and shared, but not within the family of his wives, concubines, lords, princes, queen, or even babylonians; but will be given to the Medes and Persians, who were foreigners and foes coming against him and going to kill him.

You may be thinking you have the right and will power to give your inheritance, life wealth and properties to those who are your children, brethren, lovers or those who saved and served your life. But now you know that the Lord God can impose and decide who divide, share or take over your inheritance, power, seat, kingdom, presidency, office, properties, etc., after you and God's Will in Peres will overthrow your will in Peres/Upharsin. Where it is even more painful is when all your life inheritance is given by God to those who killed or will kill you as their Spoil of war. This will mean, they did not killed your life, but also made all your life labours and fruits to be their servant, meaning your lifetime was a slavery to those who hated and killed you, and they are enjoying your life's sweats and blood.

That happened to Belshazzar the king, for those whom the Lord God have given the peres of Belshazzar's kingdom were those who must kill Belshazzar that very night.

Other examples of the Lord's Peres that shares or transfers a man's inheritance to another man as God pleases:

[‭Ecclesiastes 2:21, 26 NIV‬]
[21] For a person may labor with wisdom, knowledge and skill, and then they must leave all they own to another who has not toiled for it. This too is meaningless and a great misfortune.
[26] To the person who pleases Him, God gives wisdom, knowledge and happiness, but to the sinner He gives the task of gathering and storing up wealth to hand it over to the one who pleases God. This too is meaningless, a chasing after the wind.

‭Proverbs 13:22 NKJV‬
[22] A good man leaves an inheritance to his children’s children, But the wealth of the sinner is stored up for the righteous.

(Daniel 5:27 AKJV) — TEKEL; You are weighed in the balances, and are found wanting.

(Daniel 5:27 - BSB) — TEKEL means that you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

TEKEL

Belshazzar, the king of Babylon the great or greatest city in the world then, who also employed and pays over a thousand lords, noblemen or princes with all their aides, special advisers, assistants etc: Belshazzar was weighed by God and he was found wanting/lacking. But if men had weighed Belshazzar the king then, they would have rated him the “Topmost of the Billionaires in the world, with millions of assets around the world, and the king of the world's Superpower.” In nutshell, men would say he was powerful, famous, rich or lacks nothing, but God said he was poor, wretched, miserable and lacking.

Some churches in the last days were weighed by the Lord Jesus Christ and those churches were found wanting, when they were rich/wealthy.

‭[Revelation 3:17-18 TLV‬] — For you say, ‘I am rich, I have made myself wealthy, and I need nothing.’ But you do not know that you are miserable and pitiable and poor and blind and naked. I advise you to buy from Me gold refined by fire so that you may be rich, and white clothes so that you may dress yourself and so the shame of your unclothedness will not be revealed, and eye salve to anoint your eyes so that you may see.

Why do men use material things, money wise properties and powers of money to weigh themselves to or to pride in. Those comparing themselves with the things of themselves are not wise.

[1 Samuel 2:3 AKJV] — Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.

Again,

And by Him “ACTIONS ARE WEIGHED.”

Let me discuss this Bible Verse above by turning all its “Objects” into “Subjects.” Four of its Objects I that will be Subjects in Subheadings:

♧1♧ You — Other Persons/Things that's weighed aside Belshazzar.

♧2♧ Weighed & Weighing

♧3♧ Balances/Scales — Their types and their Abominations to God.

♧4♧ Found Wanting — Deficient or less than zero in negative.

YOU — OTHERS THAT MAY BE WEIGHED

Everyone on earth and everything may be weighed including actions are weighed, miseries/sufferings are weighed, Integrity is weighed, all nations, all foundations of the heaven and earth are weighed. So, accordingly, below are their bible references:

● Actions are weighed

[1 Samuel 2:3 AKJV] — Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.

● Miseries/Sufferings/Calamities are weighed

[Job 6:2-4 AFV] — "Oh, that my grief were but weighed, and my calamity laid in the balances together! For now it would be heavier than the sand of the sea; therefore my words have been rash. For the arrows of the Almighty are within me, my spirit is drinking up their poison. The terrors of God do set themselves against me.

● Integrity is weighed

[Job 31:6 BSB] — Let God weigh me with honest scales, that He may know my integrity.

● All Nations, all Foundations of physical creation are weighed

[Isaiah 40:12-18 AFV] — 12 Who has measured the waters in the hollow of his hand, and meted out the heavens with a span? And who has comprehended the dust of the earth in a measure, and weighed the mountains in scales, and the hills in a balance? 13 Who has directed the Spirit of the LORD, and who was His counselor that he might instruct Him? 14 With whom did He take counsel, and who instructed Him and taught Him in the path of judgment, and taught Him knowledge, and made known the way of understanding to Him? 15 Behold, the nations are like a drop in a bucket, and are counted as the small dust of the scales; behold, He takes up the isles as a very little thing. 16 And Lebanon is not sufficient to burn, nor the beasts of it sufficient for a burnt offering. 17 All nations before Him are as nothing; and they are counted by Him as less than nothing, and vanity. 18 To whom then will you compare God? Or what likeness will you compare to Him?

WEIGHED AND WEIGHING

In some wrestling contests or tournaments, when a wrestler is emerging about to fight, a ring announcer will first introduce the wrestler to the spectators around: in the introduction of the wrestler, three or four things about him is basic: Whether he is a Challenger/Opponent or the main Deal in that match, Where he hails from, what he is Weighing (not what he weighed) in pounds or tons by mass, and then his ring or fighting Name and Title (especially championship title if he has any).

Well, I have not recalled where a female wrestler's “Weighing in Pounds” is ever mentioned while introducing her. Perhaps they don't mention what the female wrestlers are weighing or the females do not like to reveal what their weight is to public. Or a better assumption is to assume there's a threshold one's weighing in pounds has to reach before the announcer will consider mentioning the male or female wrestler’s weighing.

Howeve, I am illustrating the use of “Weighing” by the ring announcers, instead of “Weighed.” If he says that man is weighing 380 pounds while announcing him, its logically to assume the man is standing on the weighing scale or balance. He is not saying what the Man weighed (in the past) but what the Man is weighing (present continues).

Learn this: Don’t just be “Weighed” and don't be “Weight or Heavy Weight;” rather be always “Weighing” increasingly. Your natural being may be weighing lesser today than it was weighed yesterday, but ensure that your spiritual and eternal being is weighing greater today than it weighed yesterday.

[2 Corinthians 4:16-18] — 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer being is wasting away, yet our inner being is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an ever-increasing degree of eternal glory that is far beyond comparison. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

BALANCES/SCALES

A pair of scales/balances, such as you may have seen a statue of justice is holding with one stretched arm in blindfold, while holding two edged sword with the other stretched arm is the same that the Black Horse Rider was holding, while the Red Horse was holding two edged Sword.

[Revelation 6:4-5 BSB] — 4 Then another horse went forth. It was bright red, and its rider was granted permission to take away peace from the earth and to make men slay one another. And he was given a great sword. 5 And when the Lamb opened the third seal, I heard the third living creature say, “Come!” Then I looked and saw a black horse, and its rider held in his hand a pair of scales.

Whether they come in pairs as pairs of scales/balances, or they do not come as pairs, whoever is holding and rightly using any honest or just scale in doing justice with cheating or corruption, he or she is doing the works of God by using honest/just scales.

This is because God Himself ordained all the Tools, Equipment, all the Standards and all the Units of measurements, in all the creation. Do not make the mistake of believing it was Science or Scientist and Standards Organizations that determined or made the laws for how anything is measured, weighed, rated or quantified in accuracy, justice and fairness: God Himself did. Whether they are for measuring Dimensions (length, width, breadth) or for measuring Liquids, Gases, or Solids, measuring multiples, measuring and determining sin, crime, wrong, values

Therefore, anytime you cheat in weighing or measuring anything, compromise the standard, or do double standards (divers scales) for different people whether rich or poor, whether your tribe or not, you are committing Abomination against God. Cheating in any scale, unit of measurement or standard of measurement is an abomination just as idolatry.

[Proverbs 16:11 FBV] — Accurate scales and balances are important to the Lord. He has determined all the weights in the bag.

[Proverbs 11:1-4 FBV] — 1 The Lord hates dishonest scales, but accurate weights please him. 2 With pride comes disgrace, but with humility comes wisdom. 3 Honesty guides the good, but deceit destroys liars. 4 Wealth won't help you on judgment day, but goodness saves you from death.

[Proverbs 20:23-25 GW] — 23 A double standard of weights is disgusting to the LORD, and dishonest scales are no good. 24 The LORD is the one who directs a person’s steps. How then can anyone understand his own way? 25 It is a trap for a person to say impulsively, “This is a holy offering!” and later to have second thoughts about those vows.

[Micah 6:11-13 FBV] — 11 How can I accept those who use unfair scales and dishonest weights? 12 Your rich people make money by using violence; they tell lies and practice deceit. 13 So I will strike you to make you ill; I will ruin you because of your sins.

FOUND WANTING OR DEFICIENT ON THE SCALES

Belshazzar was found wanting — less than zero and negative. But remember it was not only Belshazzar that was weighed in the balances and found wanting in this way. Infact, all nations and all peoples have fallen short of the glory of God on scales.

[Psalms 62:9-10 AFV] — 9 Surely men of low degree are vanity, and men of high degree are a lie; when weighed in the balance, they are altogether lighter than vanity. 10 Trust not in oppression, and do not take pride in stolen goods; if riches increase, do not set your heart upon them.

These are reasons people are falling short in the scales, becoming more wanting and more lesser than vanity: Pride, Cheating, Lying, Robbery and Lusts of the World. Pride mainly pulls men further down than the rest. For example, if two men did the same things nothing more or less from another; but one of the two has pride while doing or after doing it, but other has humility. In the scales of God's, if both of them supposed to weigh 5% based on the same works they did, the one who has humility will be exalted from 5% to 10%, while the other who had pride will drastically fall in that scale from 5% where he should have been to “-10%” or more by his actions in pride.

So, the Scales/Balances of God penalizes pride, self-exaltation or boasting. For whoever exalts himself shall be abased, and whoever humbles himself shall be exalted in the Weighing Scales of the Most High God. Therefore,

[1 Samuel 2:3 AKJV] — Talk no more so exceeding proudly; let not arrogance come out of your mouth: for the LORD is a God of knowledge, and by Him actions are weighed.

(Daniel 5:26 AFV) — This is the interpretation of the thing. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom and brought it to an end.

MENE

It was not “Translation” Daniel was doing, but rather he was doing “Interpretation.”

■1■ — Translation — involves Synonyms either in the same or in different tongues/languages. Synonyms are set of words that have different sounds/phonetics but they have and carry the same meaning or message. Therefore, Translation is a “ConVersion to Version.”

■2■ — Interpretation — In the upper hand, involves the integration of Translation, Contexts, Extra Commentaries, Words of Knowledge, Understanding, Discernment and Prophecies, to carry far more meanings or messages that overwhelms all the synonyms of the words. Therefore. Interpretation is a “Thesis to SynThesis.”

<>The Translation of “Mene” Is its synonyms; in English is ‘Number’

<>The Interpretation of “Mene” Is its synonyms by context and by the Mind of God or Spirit of Prophecy; in English it is “God has numbered the days of Belshazzar's kingdom, and ended his kingdom.

Daniel was the Interpreter, but not like what you call Interpreter that supposed to be called Translator, that helps a preacher who preaches in a different language to translate what that preacher said to the audience who rather understand a different language from that which the preacher is saying. Such translators or so called interpreters do not have the mind of the speaker or have the authority to add or to remove on whatever the speaker or preacher have uttered, except to translate into the language.

But Daniel as an Interpreter of the Scriptures written as Hand -written on the wall, both Subtracted from, Added to, and Changed the written: But he did not change, add or subtract by editing the scriptures written on the wall: Rather He read them as they are, but in his interpretation he removed one of the two “Mene(s)” using only one, he elaborated it and included words that were no even mentioned such as “kingdom, days, God, your (Belshazzar's) end, numbered” — These words have their own words in Aramaic and were not written on the wall, but the Interpreter with the Spirit and Mind of God knew these things. He also did similarly to the rest of the three, by adding to build the prophecy. But where he changed what's written in his interpretation was changing “Upharsin or Parsin” into Peres, which also means he removed/reduced plurality of “Upharsin,” to singularity “Peres,” just as he did in the multiplicity/plurality of “Mene, Mene” into singularity of just “Mene” in interpreting

If a man speaks in tongues, let him pray that he may “interpret” (not pray that he may “Translate”). Interpreters, not Translators.

Well, if you don't fully understand all I have written above, just don't worry as they may not be for you. But what am about to write below is for all and therefore you must heed to them.



MENE: God has numbered your kingdom (the days of your reign) and brought it to an end.

Four things you must learn from this:

♧Lesson 1♧ — Not in everywhere, but somewhere “Kingdom = Life”

If a king/queen has kingdom, his/her life equal his/her kingdom — The remaining days of the king's life is the remaining days of his kingdom. This applies to Priesthood of Aaron also, in that every high priest in ancient times remained high priest until he dies. [Although, during the time of the arrest and crucifixion of the Lord Jesus and Acts of the Apostles, there were two High Priests like two kings in a kingdom: one of the high priest was called Caiaphas, and the other high priest was called Annas - father in law of the other high priest that year (John 18:13). They were like swapping tenors in years: so in one occasion, both Caiaphas (son in law) and Annas (father in law) were mentioned and the cap of “High Priest” was on Caiaphas (John 18:24); and in another occasion, both Caiaphas (son in law) and Annas (father in law) were mentioned and the cap of “High Priest” was on Annas (Acts 4:6). In that case, what they had was Tenor or Regime, not Kingdom]

So, if you tell such kings, “May your days be long,” “Long live the king,” “Your majesty, reign/live forever,” etc., you are both wishing for the king's life to prolong and his kingdom or reign to prolong.

Learn — Another word or meaning of “ETERNAL LIFE” is the “KINGDOM OF GOD.”

The Kingdom of God = The Life of God
The Kingdom of God = The Days God has to live

To enter the kingdom of God is to enter the Life of God - Eternal life. The Lord Jesus Christ used Kingdom of God and eternal life interchangeably in this Bible reference:

[Mark 9:45-47 FBV] — If your foot causes you to sin, cut it off! It's better to enter eternal life lame than to be thrown into Gehenna still having two feet. — If your eye causes you to sin, gouge it out! It's better to enter the kingdom of God with just one eye than to be thrown into Gehenna still having both eyes,

You He replaced “Eternal Life” with “Kingdom of God.”

♧Lesson 2♧ — God struck out Days of Belshazzar's kingdom after numbering, to end it or hasting it to its end.

Both “Mene” and “Tekel” involved God doing Measurements or Valuation pertaining Belshazzar:

— Mene was an Enumerated or Numbering Measurement on his kingdom,

— Tekel was a Weighing Measurement on him e.g. Weighing in so pounds, weighing so tons, weighing so kilograms.

But I tell you, when God performed the two measurements: In Mene—Measurement there were still days or numbers remaining for Belshazzar's kingdom, but God struck them off to bring those numbers to Zero “0” day. On the other hand, In Tekel—Measurement there was nothing but even debts, minus or negative, meaning he was owing or found wanting.

So, there was something found for him in Mene-Measurement but even what he had was taken away. As it is written,

[Mat 25:29 BSB] — For everyone who has will be given more, and he will have an abundance. But the one who does not have, even what he has will be taken away from him.

Belshazzar did not have in his “Tekel” and so even what he had in his “Mene” was taken away.

♧Lesson 3♧ — It was the days of his kingdom God numbered, not basically the days of his life. Days of your kingdom is more important than the days of your life.

Judging by his life, Belshazzar was found wanting; but he was under “Immunity” and couldn't die because of his Kingdom days. I illustrated how because of his Kingdom Appointment, Nebuchadnezzar could be killed inspite of being driven away from mankind in beast and more naked than Adam and Eve were when they ate the forbidden fruit.

Moses wrote in Psalms saying:

[Psalms 90:12 AKJV] — So teach us to number our days, that we may apply our hearts to wisdom.

But I now tell you, do not pray or seek to number your days but rather pray and seek to number your kingdom or your place in the Kingdom of God.

1. Whoever shall seek, love or save his life shall lose it.
2. Whoever shall seek, love or die for the Kingdom of God shall save his life and have eternal Life.

Moses set before the people, “Life and Death, Blessing and Cursing” and then advised then to choose life so that they and their descendants may live. Yet, even the Moses himself could not live to enter the promised land. Supposing, a man kept all the laws of Moses and chose life that Moses set, does that mean the man would have continued living and never died because he chose life and didn't choose death? So even if you choose the life Moses set, you will still die the death you did not choose although the advantage is that your days will be long on earth.

But the Lord Jesus Christ brought and set better things before us than Moses had set. He set Eternal Life or Kingdom of God. He also died as King of Jews but His Kingdom was not brought to an end which meant God had to raise Him back to life as or more than as God restored Nebuchadnezzar back to his kingdom when it had not ended.

Two differences in the life Moses offered and the Life the Lord Jesus Christ offers:

☆ Mortality/Immorality: Moses offered long life that may reach or extend beyond that of Methuselah, but cannot reach a thousand years because of what God told Adam about dying in the day he eats of the forbidden fruit: That day is 1000 years, and no man reaches it no matter how long his mortal life is. But the Life of the Lord Jesus Christ is Immorality and Eternal.

☆ The life Moses offered would be the life of the man who lives it, but the life the Lord Jesus Christ offers will be the Life of God or His Life as the King of the Kingdom. He is not just giving Eternal Life, but He is giving His Life to us. He did not only gave His life for us (on the cross), but He still and will for ever continue to give His Life to us. His life is not just for us but also to us. He did not just die for you to live your life, but rather died for you to live His Life. We are entering His Life and His Kingdom.

♧Lesson 4♧ — Because God has ended the Kingdom days of Belshazzar or brought it to zero that night, if Belshazzar cross into the next day, then God would have lied.

That day when the days of his kingdom was ended must be the last day of his life and kingdom. Just no descendant of Adam could reach or cross 1000 years with the breath of life he got through Adam and Eve or mortal life, even so, Belshazzar must not see the next Sunrise because God has numbered and ended the days of kingdom or immunity that keeps his death and hell.

♡

(Daniel 5:25 NKJV) — “And this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

(Daniel 5:25 - BSB) — Now this is the inscription that was written: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PARSIN

This was written in Tongues, and by Daniel reading or pronouncing this writing outloud, Daniel was speaking in tongues by reading the inscription written in tongues. It's not just the gifts of speaking in tongues but also the gifts of interpretation of tongues in Daniel that enabled him to read or speak in the tongues written or spoken by someone else, and later interpret the written or spoken tongues.

Therefore any man who can speak in tongues but cannot read writings written in tongues or interpret unknown tongues is a man gifted with incomplete gifts. If you can speak in unknown tongues, you should be able to know, understand and interpret whatever you or another spoken/written tongues have said.

[1 Corinthians 14:13 FBV] — Anyone who speaks in a tongue should pray that they're able to translate what they say.

The Lord Jesus Christ spoke in unknown Tongues, but He knew exactly what He said and what the outcome of what He said will be; and He enabled whatever He was speaking to understand or obey Him, and enabled whoever were witnesses to His spoken Tongues know and write His Speaking in Tongues as Written in Tongues. Examples:

♤1♤ “Ephphatha”—(In Aramaic) Meaning — “Be Opened”

♤2♤ “Talitha cumi”—(In Aramaic) Meaning — “Damsel, I tell you, Arise” or “Oh Virgin, I tell you, arise.” Some bible translators used “Koum” instead of “Cumi.” Thus, “Talitha Koum”

♤3♤ “Eloi, Eloi, lama sabachthani?”—(In Aramaic) Meaning — “My God, my God, why have you forsaken Me?”

♤4♤ “Tetelestai”—(In Greek) Meaning — “It is finished.”

You notice that I included the language (in parentheses), which the Lord Jesus Christ spoke in when He spoke in Tongue: Three of them were in Aramaic, and the other was in Greek which was the lingua franca by then, since Greek was lingua franca, “Tetelestai” was not considered as speaking in tongues then.

It therefore means, all the spoken in tongues that were written in the entire Scriptures were “Tongues of Men” even when they were “Tongues of Angels.” If there was no man in the earth that spoke or use those tongues or languages, they are not qualified to be used by Angels or Men for any spiritual activity on earth. Those who first spoke in tongues in the Day of Pentecost, were speaking in tongues or languages that people from diaspora or overseas could understand as used in their various countries.

Why then do we have pastors, priests, Christians, or music ministers, including words or phrases spoken in unknown Tongues in their ministering or songs, which are not in any Language or tongue in the entire world languages, both past and present? If you find any author of a song, prayer or sermon, in which their is unknown Tongues or languages, no matter how sweet, anointed or powerful that message/’Christian song’ is, drop that message or song until you identify a language or tongue of men on earth that speaks or uses such tongues. Even if you don't understand the communication, atleast know that language identity or the people who use that language.

I have shown you that all the Foreign Tongues the Lord Jesus Christ, His Apostles and Prophets, ever spoke or used in the Scriptures were tongues of men or language known somewhere among men on earth. It was not some kind of heavens language or spirits language that no man on earth uses in communication with men.

Now I tell you, “Any language or tongue that a man uses to talk in communication to spirits, angels or demons, but no man uses the same language or tongue to talk in communication to another, you are to consider or classify that as “Incantations.””

[However, there are incantations or spoken spells made using men's tongues/languages and there are also unknown tongues only God can understand as prayers]. This is just to rule out any speaking in tongues that no man uses to talk to men anywhere in world, but a pastor or Christian is boldly using that tongue in public to talk to spirits or to God. Just as the Lord taught us that when we pray in private, we should lock the doors and pray in secret to the God who sees in secrets. Even so, that rule applies to when we have ability to speak in any tongues that no man around us would understand and no Interpreter to explain, we must shut up and go in secret, close the doors and speak to God or to that spirits that understands what we say in mysteries. No foolish Christian or pastor should be a hypocrite that by boldly praying in tongues no man (including himself) understands, especially over loud microphone and speakers, in public or among believers, even if by so doing he feels he edifies himself or be spiritual. Bear the burden of praying with understanding.


NOW LET'S FOCUS ON THE TOP BIBLE VERSE ABOVE

Daniel read the Inscription or Handwriting on the Wall as:

“MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN”

Even though this tongue was written by the hand of Angel, it was a tongue or language already used by men to men on earth. That language in which the Handwriting on wall was written is called “ARAMAIC:” — The same Language/Tongue in which “Ephphatha, Talitha Koum, and Eloi Eloi Lama Sabachthani” were all spoken and written in the scriptures.

Yes, in Aramaic, terms like "Mene," "Tekel," and "Peres" (which is the singular form of "Upharsin" are used in the context of the inscription in Daniel 5:25-28.
◇ Mene means "numbered."
◇ Tekel means "weighed."
◇ Peres (or "Upharsin," its plural form) means "divided" or "split." — Upharsin and Parsin are the same.
NOW LET'S FOCUS ON WHY WRITTEN IN TONGUES SHALL NEVER END EVEN WHEN TONGUES OR SPEAKING IN TONGUES SHALL BE ENDED.

◇1◇1◇ Ability to interpret speaking in unknown tongues that he/she never learnt by education or interaction with those who naturally have/use those tongues, in times — Is A Gift of God.

◇2◇2◇ Ability to interpret written in unknown tongues that he/she never learnt by education or interaction with those who have/use those tongues, in eternity — Is A Reward of God.

Differentiate between “Gifts of God” and “Rewards of God.”

Some of those who shall inherit the Kingdom of God or Eternal life shall have as their rewards “Written in Tongues/Mysteries that only the Recipients will know or understand.”

[Revelation 2:17 AFV] — The one who has an ear, let him hear what the Spirit says to the churches. To the one who overcomes I will give the right to eat of the hidden manna; and I will give him a white stone, and on the stone a new name written, which no one knows except the one who receives it.

Why would there be Written in unknown Tongues, when all Tongues shall have been eliminated but except just one pure and holy language or tongue in eternity?

The answer is not that they were literally written in unknown Tongues, but that they were written in the same and only tongue but hidden or veiled to everyone else except God and whoever is rewarded with receiving that Award or Medal.

Belshazzar received his own “Written in Tongues/Mysteries” on the wall or stone in wall of his house in the kingdom. And though the Handwriting was written in Aramaic, which was a very popular lingua franca in their region and days, he and his wives and his concubines and his thousands of lords or noblemen who may have interacted with Aramaic speakers and all his wisemen or astrologers or enchanters or wizards etc. could still not read or know what was written in Aramaic. It's like when the Jews were reading Moses’ writings and a veil covering their heart to know or when people read Bible written in English, that's a popular lingua franca today, and yet their's a veil covering their eyes from seeing or perceiving somethings in scriptures written in English that they know.

Even so, written in tongues or mysteries in eternity as rewards would be written in the same pure and unambiguous language, (not like ambitious languages where on word could means two or more different things or homophones), this will be pure and single language: Yet, somethings that are written will in the pure language will be a Revelation only person after God knows among all the uncountable spirits, angels and creatures.

WRITTEN IN UNKNOWN TONGUES

Learn These: — There are “Speaking in Unknown Tongues,” which many refer to as speaking tongues. I tell you, “Speaking in Tongues” is “Speaking with Tongues.” That means is it is not just the tongue in your mouth you use to speak in diversities of tongues or various tongues. It is not speaking in single tongue but in multiple tongues. So, the speaker figuratively has more than one tongues he uses to vocalize those speeches, and they are not all his tongues, unless they are fake or are incantations. The Lord Jesus described them as “New Tongues” (not old tongue in your mouth) in (Mark 16:17). The Holy Spirit gave them as “Unterance and Tongues of Fire” (Acts 2:3-4). Isaiah prophesied of them, calling them “Strange Tongues or Tongues of Strangers (Foreigners/Alien) in Isaiah 28:11 and as Paul recalled (1 Corinthians 14:21). And, Paul described them as either Tongues of Men or Tongues of Angels (1 Cor. 13:1). — They are not the natural tongues in the mouth.

Moreover, just as there are “Speakings in Unknown Tongues,” there are also “Writings in Unknown Tongues.”

If you read my teaching in the preceding Bible verse to this one above, you may recall I wrote that every spoken words must be turned into written words. This applies also to every spoken in tongues must be written in tongues or in plain. Tongues for speaking are figuratively pens for writin. As it is written,

[Psalms 45:1 BSB] - …my tongue is the pen of a skillful writer.

Be careful what your tongue utters, for they are written: and a man shall give account of every careless word he/she has said: for by your word you shall either be justified or condemned, knowing that what comes out of a man comes from his mouth and defiles the man or knowing corrupt Tree doesn’t bring forth good fruit, and out of the abundance of a heart its mouth speaks

As Paul the Apostle taught, Speaking in unknown Tongues in the Spirit is Speaking Mysteries. Now I also teach, Writing in unknown Tongues in the Spirit is Writing Mysteries. Therefore, Writings in Tongues do whatever Speaking in Tongues do, and much more. So replace, Speaking in Tongues with Speaking Mysteries, and Writing in Tongues with Writing Mysteries.

Know this, “Speaking in Tongues” or “Speaking Mysteries” will not continue forever, but “Written in Tongues” or “Written Mysteries” shall endure forever, in all eternity. [NOTE: I did not say “Writing in Tongues” but “Written in Tongues” forever. If speaking in tongues shall end, writing in tongues shall also end — so that no more making of new mysteries. However, the already “Written Mysteries that were not demystified” will continue forever, to those who wont be able to still know them.

■1■ To know Speaking in Tongues shall end:

[1 Corinthians 13:8 AKJV] — Charity never fails: but whether there be prophecies, they shall fail; whether there be tongues, they shall cease; whether there be knowledge, it shall vanish away.

These 3 gifts mentioned in this immediate reference, tongues, prophecies, and knowledge, shall come to an end. The reason they shall not endure forever is because they would no longer be needed or they shall become irrelevant when the Lord God would have removed all problems and evils from the earth. Those 3 gifts of the Spirit of God are good and great gifts, but there presence or relevance is a testimony that what is Perfect has not come. They are like the Laws of Moses, being good and holy, but by the law came knowledge of sin, and the law was like a relevant or necessary school master until the Lord Jesus came. Even so, Prophecies, Tongues and Knowledge, will be set aside when true perfection comes over the fallen mankind.

[1] The fact that some people of God have gifts of prophecies, while others people of God do not have the gifts of prophecies but need those who have the gifts, shows there's an error or imperfection from the fall of man from the Garden of Eden. If they need those gifts or abilities, they should all have them, not just some that God selects from among His People and made those few Prophets or called them Men of God, while the rest of God's people remain blinded and dependent on the prophets.

This arrangement of some being prophets and others are not, in house of God, is imperfect and benefits the prophets who are getting prophets’ gifts and believing in prophets so you proper. A true leader of the people of God will want all His people to also be prophets like him or even greater than him, not them remaining as babies calling him alone, “Father in the Lord,” as Joshua in error only wanted for Moses his mentor, but would pull down any other men under his mentor that rises a prophet.

[Numbers 11:27-29 FBV] — “A young lad ran and told Moses, “Eldad and Medad are prophesying in the camp.” 28 Joshua, son of Nun, who had been Moses' assistant since he was young, reacted, saying, “Moses, my lord, you have to stop them!” 29 “Are you jealous for my reputation?” Moses replied. “I wish that every one of the Lord's people were prophets and that the Lord would give his Spirit to all of them!”

Or as John and the rest of the twelve apostles of the Lord Jesus in error shutdown or pulled down another Apostle that was not in their group, sect or denomination, but that Apostle was doing great miracles, signs, wonders, using the Name of their Mentor.

[‭Mark 9:38-40 GNT‬] — John said to him, “Teacher, we saw a man who was driving out demons in your name, and we told him to stop, because he doesn't belong to our group.” “Do not try to stop him,” Jesus told them, “because no one who performs a miracle in my name will be able soon afterward to say evil things about me. For whoever is not against us is for us

[2] The fact that some people of God have gifts of knowledge, while others people of God do not have the gifts of knowledge but need those who have the gifts, shows there's an error or imperfection from the fall of man from the Garden of Eden. If they need those gifts or abilities, they should all have them, not just some that God selects from among His People and made those few Teachers/Pastors/Priests or called them Men of God, while the rest of God's people remain sheep and dependent on the teachers, pastors or priests, for feeding.

This arrangement of some being pastors/teachers/priests and others are not, in house of God, is imperfect and benefits the priests/pastors/teachers who are getting tithes, firstfruits, pastor benefits or teacher's rewards, and believing in pastors as God's anointed. A true leader of the people of God will want all His people to also be teachers and priests like him or even greater than him, not them remaining as babies calling him alone, “Father in the Lord.” As it is written,

[Colossians 1:9 BSB] — For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you and asking God to fill you with the knowledge of His will in all spiritual wisdom and understanding,

[‭Hebrews 5:12-14 GNT‬] — There has been enough time for you to be teachers—yet you still need someone to teach you the first lessons of God's message. Instead of eating solid food, you still have to drink milk. Anyone who has to drink milk is still a child, without any experience in the matter of right and wrong. Solid food, on the other hand, is for adults, who through practice are able to distinguish between good and evil.

[3] The fact that some people of God have gifts of speaking in tongues, few have gifts of interpreting or understanding the tongues, while others people of God do not have the gifts of divers tongues but need those who have the gifts, shows there's an error or imperfection from the fall of man from the Garden of Eden and from the tower of Babel, where God confused the one tongue or language of mankind. For perfection to come, all diverse tongues must be eliminated from among the people of God, no more speaking mysteries or speaking what the people of God cannot understand, and no more use of more than one language or tongue in communication among people of God.

The fact that some of us called God or the Lord Jesus by some names in our local dialects, and others have different names they call God or the Lord in different tongues, show there's error by diversity of tongues. Till now, some believers have problem with the English name “Jesus, Christ, God, etc.” And they insist His name must be called by the language He revealed His name in. Yes, that's correct. There's error in the various translations or various languages versions for the names or titles we call God or the Lord Jesus Christ. This error is not our fault, but the fault of the many tongues or languages. Therefore, one of the zeals that will make God eliminate all languages or tongues but leaving just one pure language, is for all His people to call God or the Lord by the same Name in the same Language or Tongue in which that Name was Revealed or named. So, which language will we all come to only know and use for eternity while the rest languages are destroyed forever? It's the Language in which the Name of the LORD is fully and truly revealed, fully and truly pronounced, fully and truly called

According to ChatGPT: [Chat.openai.com]
“The Bible verse that prophesies a time when the whole world will have one language or tongue is found in Zephaniah 3:9. It states:
"For then I will restore to the peoples a pure language, that they all may call on the name of the Lord, to serve Him with one accord."
This verse suggests a future time when God will unify the languages of the people so that everyone can worship Him together with a single, pure language.”

Diverse tongues / unknown tongues are not meant for believers, but meant for unbelievers. Why should these which are for the unbelievers be found among believers in their perfection? This next reference presents two scenarios: 1] when all the church (not some of the church) are all speaking in different tongues; 2] when all the church (not some of the church) are all prophesying.

[‭1 Corinthians 14:21-25 GNT‬]

[21] In the Scriptures it is written, “By means of people speaking strange languages I will speak to my people, says the Lord. I will speak through lips of foreigners, but even then my people will not listen to me.”

[22] So then, the gift of speaking in strange tongues is proof for unbelievers, not for believers, while the gift of proclaiming God's message is proof for believers, not for unbelievers.

[23] If, then, the whole church meets together and everyone starts speaking in strange tongues—and if some ordinary people or unbelievers come in, won't they say that you are all crazy?

[24] But if everyone is proclaiming God's message when some unbelievers or ordinary people come in, they will be convinced of their sin by what they hear. They will be judged by all they hear,

[25] their secret thoughts will be brought into the open, and they will bow down and worship God, confessing, “Truly God is here among you!”


■2■ To know Written in Tongues shall not end:

I have to carry this topic to the next bible verse or Daniel 5: 25. So, I will speak on Written in Tongues and discuss its eternity as well as discuss on “MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

Amen

✅️

(Daniel 5:24 - AMPC) — Then was the part of the hand sent from the presence of [the Most High God], and this writing was inscribed.

(Daniel 5:24 - AFV) — Then the palm of the hand was sent from Him. And this writing was written.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

THE CAUSE OF THE HANDWRITINGS

The “Timing” and the “Cause” for which the Palm/Part of the hand was sent were one and the same. The heavens understand both “Timing” and “Cause” as the same. There must be a cause for the time to come: On Earth, we relate to time by observing and measuring the time; but in the Heavens they relate to time by observing and measuring the Cause (e.g. Cause of Action or Next line Action). This is because here on earth and under the Sun, “There is Time for everything:” but there in heaven and above Sun “There is Cause for everything and for everytime.”

The Palm/Part of the hand appeared, but not just according to human timing, but because there was a Cause before there was an apparition or manifestation of the Palm/Part of the hand. The Cause that came in heaven before Palm/Part of the hand came on earth was the “Sender, Forwarder or Message-Commander” from Him (that is, from the Presence of the Most High God).

In nutshell, the Palm/Part of the hand (only) was sent to write the message (inscription/writing) on the wall to Belshazzar. In the heavens, every member (part) of a man's body is written in the Lord's Book as individuals. As it is written,

[Psalms 139:16 AFV] — Your Eyes did see my substance, yet being unformed; and in Your book all my members were written, which in continuance were fashioned, when as yet there were none of them.

This means, God may deal with, use or send, a member/part of a body as a distinct individual different but yet connected to the whole body. He can send just a Palm/Part of a man's hand with fingers, to deliver a Written Message instead of a mouth to deliver a Spoken or Voice Message. The Palm of the hand was sent as a Scribe or Writer, to write part of the Scriptures from the Presence of the Highest King or Most High God in Heaven, to the presence of another king on earth.

Surely, there is inscribing, engraving or writing of all spoken words, converting spoken words into written words. No spoken word on earth, in sea, under earth or in heaven, has gone without being written. Even the Ten Commandments God spoke to them in thunderous Voice, He also wrote them down on tablets of stones. And one of the reason the Gospel of the Lord Jesus will eventually be called Epistles is because the Gospel will not continue to only be the Knowledge of the Glory of God on the Face of Jesus Christ, but would also be Written on in the Tables of our hearts and spirits by the Spirit of God. For one of so many reasons the New Covenant came instead of the Old Covenant is so that God would have to write His Law and Words in our hearts and minds and spirits. Scriptures must also be written in us, and not just written in the bible. We must become the Books of the Lord in such a way that the Book of John is literally the person of John in spirit, not just a Textbook.

Paul wrote that Faith comes by hearing, and hearing by the Word of God. As long as it remains so, that a man's faith is only coming through hearing the word of God from another man or preacher, we have not yet attained “Jeremiah 31:31-34.” To attain that, we must all come into unity of the faith and knowledge of the Son of God, becoming perfect in measures of the Stature and Fulness of Christ: Thereby, none of us will still be children, tossed to and fro, and about by every wind of doctrines, motivational speakers and pastors who when they are preaching to children (their congregation) will tell stories of mighty miracles, signs and wonders, they performed or God did through them using their own mouth without evidence/witness.

When we attain the unity of faith and knowledge, our faith will no longer come by hearing, hearing by word of God from other preachers or teachers. Rather, we will no longer have any need for teachers or preachers or pastors, because the Epistles of the Lord Jesus Christ are fully written in our hearts and spirits as the Spirit said it should be, in a mighty revelation of the glory and knowledge of the Lord as the waters cover the sea. Thus,

[‭Jeremiah 31:31-34 GNT‬]
[31] The Lord says, “The time is coming when I will make a new covenant with the people of Israel and with the people of Judah.

[32] It will not be like the old covenant that I made with their ancestors when I took them by the hand and led them out of Egypt. Although I was like a husband to them, they did not keep that covenant.

[33] The new covenant that I will make with the people of Israel will be this: I will put my law within them and write it on their hearts. I will be their God, and they will be My people.

[34] None of them will have to teach a neighbor to know the Lord, because all will know Me, from the least to the greatest. I will forgive their sins and I will no longer remember their wrongs. I, the Lord, have spoken.”

By the advent of this New Covenant, no Handwriting on walls or on earth can ever be against us, because there is Handwriting written within us and on our heart by the Spirit of God. Yes, no Palm/Part of a man's hand can come to write anything on earth against those in whom there is “It is Written.” Infact, the Lord Jesus Christ was [Colossians 2:14 AKJV] Blotting out the handwriting of ordinances that was against us, which was contrary to us, and took it out of the way, nailing it to His cross;

The Handwritings or Writings we care about and are afraid could be against us are the Writings written in heaven about us, not any writings on earth about or against us. Therefore, whatever Handwriting written on earth by someone from heaven, it shall not stand against the man of the kingdom.

For example:

♤1♤ — The Word of God spoken by Jeremiah the prophet said:

[‭Jeremiah 22:29-30 NKJV‬] — O earth, earth, earth, Hear the word of the Lord! Thus says the Lord: ‘Write this man down as childless, a man who shall not prosper in his days; For none of his descendants shall prosper, sitting on the throne of David, and ruling anymore in Judah.’ ”

♤2♤ — The Word of God Himself came in flesh on earth, and when He (the Lord Jesus Christ) was asked for His Judgment against the woman caught in adultery, and the constitution of Moses was cited over her condemnation, the Lord wrote with His Finger on the Earth. What was He writing on the ground or earth? I tell you without bible reference, “It is not what He was writing, but what He was canceling or erasing from being written on earth.” He blotted out or canceled the Handwritings of ordinances written against the salvation of sinners, and since there's was no Handwriting on earth to condemn the woman and no man among the crowd was without sin to have the right to condemned, judge or stone a woman caught in adultery, the Messiah who canceled the Handwritten condemnation for us neither condemned the woman even though He was without sin and should have practiced what He preached by casting the first stone on her: This was because even after He said that, He still wrote on the ground or earth, and still canceled what He said.

|

(Daniel 5:23 - NIV) — ‭Instead, you have set yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You had the goblets from His temple brought to you, and you and your nobles, your wives and your concubines drank wine from them. You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand. But you did not honor the God who holds in His Hand your life and all your ways.

(Daniel 5:23 - AFV) — But you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of His house before you; and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver, and gold, of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see, nor hear, nor know. And you have not glorified the God in Whose Hand is your breath and all your ways.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

HOW HE BECAME AN ANTICHRIST

Let me rearrange the order of the presentation of this Bible verse above by structuring them under two “You have not…”

■1■ First “You have not…” —□— “You have not humbled yourself, though you knew this:” (See preceding verse to this).

Because of “You have not humbled yourself” there arose this instead “You have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven.” This means, a man on earth who refuses to humble himself, may become proud to degree of lifting himself against the Lord inside heaven. Lucifer's refusal to humble himself in heaven resulted in his lifting himself to challenge or rise against the Lord in heaven. But from the Bible verse above, we know that even from the earth here below, a man who have not humbled himself in his rising knowledge is also potentially going to lift up himself against those who are in heaven above, and even against the Lord of heaven Himself. So, Pride or lack of advances against even the Most High, and therefore the Most
High resist the proud: This is like equal and opposite reaction to the action of pride, but because the reaction comes from God the reaction infinitely outweighs all actions of pride in contrary.

So, “You have not humbled yourself” means “You are becoming “Anti-Lord” or “Anti-Christ”” Belshazzar became Anti-Lord or Anti-Christ by lifting up himself “The Lord of Heaven.” Pride or lack of Humility makes one an Antichrist.

The main Antichrist would be opposing the Lord of heaven from the earth below, through pride. As it is written,

[Daniel 8:10-12] — The little horn grew as high as the host of heaven, and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the earth, and trampled them. The horn magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; the horn removed daily sacrifice that belongs to the Prince of heaven and overthrew the place of His sanctuary. And in the rebellion, the host and the daily sacrifice were given over to the horn, and the horn flung truth to the ground and prospered in whatever it did.

What the horn or Antichrist would do to the hosts of heaven, to daily sacrifice and to the house of God, will far outweigh what Belshazzar had done to the vessels of the temple house of God in his exalting himself against the Lord of heaven.

However, one thing they all had in common with Satan, with the Antichrist, with Belshazzar, with Amon, with most people and with many demons, is this: You have not humbled yourself.

■2■ Second “You have not…” —□— “You have not glorified the God in Whose Hand is your breath and all your ways:”

Because of “You have not glorified the God in Whose Hand is your breath and all your ways” there arose this instead “You praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which cannot see or hear or understand.” This means, a man on earth who refuses to glorify the true God, from whom the man breathes every time he breathes in and out, that lack of glorifying God would result in the man glorifying, honoring or praising the things God created instead of praising their Creator. These things are as real as a force of gravity upon men.

‭[Romans 1:21-32 NIV‬]

[21] For although they knew God, they neither glorified him as God nor gave thanks to him, but their thinking became futile and their foolish hearts were darkened.

[22] Although they claimed to be wise, they became fools [23] and exchanged the glory of the immortal God for images made to look like a mortal human being and birds and animals and reptiles.

[24] Therefore God gave them over in the sinful desires of their hearts to sexual impurity for the degrading of their bodies with one another.

[25] They exchanged the truth about God for a lie, and worshiped and served created things rather than the Creator—who is forever praised. Amen.

[26] Because of this, God gave them over to shameful lusts. Even their women exchanged natural sexual relations for unnatural ones.

[27] In the same way the men also abandoned natural relations with women and were inflamed with lust for one another. Men committed shameful acts with other men, and received in themselves the due penalty for their error.

[28] Furthermore, just as they did not think it worthwhile to retain the knowledge of God, so God gave them over to a depraved mind, so that they do what ought not to be done.

[29] They have become filled with every kind of wickedness, evil, greed and depravity. They are full of envy, murder, strife, deceit and malice. They are gossips,

[30] slanderers, God-haters, insolent, arrogant and boastful; they invent ways of doing evil; they disobey their parents;

[31] they have no understanding, no fidelity, no love, no mercy.

[32] Although they know God’s righteous decree that those who do such things deserve death, they not only continue to do these very things but also approve of those who practice them.

It all began with the pride of not glorifying or honoring God. Once that pride of not glorifying God steps in, it doesn't matter if the instead is glorifying oneself or the instead is glorifying something/someone else, they are all from the root pride of not glorifying God. Nebuchadnezzar in his pride was glorifying himself before the Voice came, Belshazzar in his pride was not glorifying himself but glorifying other created things before the Handwriting came, Herod in pride was receiving glorification from the people as their god or their idol before Angel struck.

(Daniel 5:22 - AFV) — And you his son, O Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew all this.

(Daniel 5:22 - FBV) — But you, Belshazzar, his son, have not humbled yourself, even though you knew all this.

YOU HAVE NOT HUMBLED YOURSELF, YET YOU KNEW

Again, Manasseh the king of Judah was like Nebuchadnezzar the king of Babylon in learning about the Kingdom of God through a terrible humiliation at the edges of death. But God delivered both of them and restore their kingdoms to them when they have come to repentance and humility that would last forever upon them.

Incidentally, both the son Nebuchadnezzar (Belshazzar) and the son of Manasseh (Amon) had similar stubbornness in them, which made them to still follow the old ways of their father in rebellion and arrogance against God, even when they knew the terrible things God did to their father, and knew the repentance of their father from the same way they still chose. Therefore,
both king Amon (son of Manasseh) and king Belshazzer (son of Nebuchadnezzar) had the same fate in death, which was, they were killed by inside their own house by conspirators. Both their days were numbered and brought to an end quickly, making them to die prematurely in their youth, and had only spent few years on the throne as king before the Handwriting on wall came to cut them short. So, let's see Amon’s story:

[2 Chronicles 33:20-24 BSB]

20 And Manasseh rested with his fathers and was buried at his palace. And his son Amon reigned in his place.

21 Amon was twenty-two years old when he became king, and he reigned in Jerusalem two years.

22 And he did evil in the sight of the LORD, as his father Manasseh had done. Amon served and sacrificed to all the idols that his father Manasseh had made,

23 but he did not humble himself before the LORD as his father Manasseh had done; instead, Amon increased his guilt.

24 Then the servants of Amon conspired against him and killed him in his palace.


Now, in the top bible verse above, Daniel was saying to the king, son of Nebuchadnezzar,

●A● “But You his son — (addressing the king as lower in rank than his father had been),

●B● Belshazzar — (calling him by name, for no ambiguity),

●C● You have not humbled yourself, though you knew all this” — (That's the Conviction).

Daniel convicted him here, and him here is he who is facing his own handwritten Judgment on the wall. These things are written for our learning, so that you don't refuse to learn from what had happened to others that are gone before you just as Belshazzar here and Amon there both refused to learn from what happened to their own father that had gone before them.

There are “You have not…” convictions or rebukes you must strive to avoid hearing in the day of you facing your own Handwriting on the Wall, though not literally but figuratively as facing your own judgment and things written concerning by the Fingers of Heaven. If you understand this my writing, then I have hope.

Avoid “You have not…” that comes to mark people down to disqualify them in the Judgment of the Lord Jesus Christ. In this case “YOU HAVE NOT…” is opposite of “WELLDONE.”

Beware of these and more “You have not…” coming from the Lord Jesus Christ when He interprets your life and ways to you, just as Daniel was interpreting to Belshazzar. Examples of them

— “You have not humbled yourself, though you knew this”

— “You have not bore Me fruit”

— “You have not yet resisted to blood, striving against sin.”

— When I entered your house, “you did not give Me water for My feet. You did not greet Me with a kiss. You did not anoint My head with oil.”

— I was hungry, and you did not give Me anything to eat; I was thirsty, and you did not give Me anything to drink; I was a stranger, and you did not take Me in; I was naked, and you did not clothe Me; I was sick, and in prison, and you did not come to visit Me.'

Etc. These “You have not…” disqualify people from the kingdom.

Concluding, both Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar were proud against God, but it was more tolerable for Nebuchadnezzar than for Belshazzar, or more tolerable for Manasseh than for Amon. The reason was because pride of Nebuchadnezzar or Manasseh ended when they came to know the Most High in terrible ways. But on the other hand, Belshazzar or Amon already knew this and yet knowingly refused to humble himself before the LORD

[Luke 12:47-48 AFV] — And that servant who knew the will of his lord, but did not prepare, nor did according to his will, shall be beaten with many stripes; But the one who did not know, and did things worthy of stripes, shall be beaten with few. For to whomever much has been given, from him shall much be required; and to whom much has been committed, from him they will demand the more.

Manasseh or Nebuchadnezzar could say, “Had I known…” But Belshazzar or Amon had no excuse to say, “Had I known…”

(Daniel 5:21 - AFV) — And he was driven from the sons of men. And his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild donkeys. He was fed with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven until he knew that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men, and that He appoints over it whomever He will.

(Daniel 5:21 - GW) — He was chased away from people, and his mind was changed into an animal’s mind. He lived with wild donkeys, ate grass like cattle, and his body became wet with dew from the sky. This happened until he realized that the Most High God has power over human kingdoms. God puts whomever he wishes in charge of them.

YET DEATH COULDN'T KILL HIM — FOR HE HAS APPOINTMENT WITH THE KINGDOM OF GOD

I know this verse gave such summary of what happened to the king of kings (Nebuchadnezzar) that was deposed from his kingdom and throne in punishment for his arrogance, pride and lack of knowledge of the Most High. But this wasn't just meant to be a “Punishment” but also meant to be a “Lesson.” No all men have had a privilege of having such great punishment on them to be with purpose for lesson, learning or correction. Many things befell people so that other people or generations would learn. For example,

[1 Corinthians 10:11-12 GW] — These things happened to make them an example for others. These things were written down as a warning for us who are living in the closing days of history. So, people who think they are standing firmly should be careful that they don’t fall.

That means, the terrible things described did not happen to them for their warning or learning, but happened to them for other people's warning or learning, just as it happened to Sodom and Gomorrah.

But in case of the terrible things that befell Nebuchadnezzar, it was still a warning and learning to him as well as to all men, especially those in a kingdom or throne. So, no matter how bad it was on Nebuchadnezzar, his life was still with him and even his understanding and heart that were taken away had to be restored because he needs them to learn the lesson and to know.

So, like it happened to Nebuchadnezzar, when the LORD God wants you to learn something about the Kingdom of God in this life before death, no death, no sickness, no old age or natural depreciation, can prevent you from learning that Kingdom of God reality. The Lord Jesus Christ taught this truth this way:

[Luke 9:27 AKJV] — But I tell you of a truth, there be some standing here, which shall not taste of death, till they see the kingdom of God.

God values the kingdom of God above the ordinances of death. If you have appointment to learn anything or see any thing in the Kingdom of God in this mortal life, death cannot prevent you even if you go through things that would kill any man, you will not die until that appointment you have with the Kingdom of God is accomplished. Let me mention Simeon the priest, to whom the Spirit of God told he will never die until he sees the King of Kings, the Messiah, Son of God, the Lord Jesus Christ.

As Nebuchadnezzar, his appointment with the Kingdom of God was his knowing or learning that the Most High God rules in the kingdom of God: — Kingdom of God in kingdom of men.

Four things that would have killed Nebuchadnezzar or any man but couldn't kill him for the appointment he had with Kingdom of God:

☆1☆ Being driven or chased away from people, from humans: This would have killed him, but couldn't. Cain was driven away from the presence of God but not from presence of men; while Nebuchadnezzar was driven away from presence of men. Can you survive as a man if all human beings on earth are chasing you away?

☆2☆ Having a heart transfer from his heart to having a heart of a beast: This would have killed him, but couldn't. Human heart and that of a beast are not exchangeable by human capacity.

☆3☆ Feeding on grass only as an ox or cow, while dwelling among wild donkeys: This would have killed him, but couldn't. Can man eat only grasses for 7 years and not die? Don't try it.

☆4☆ His naked body was wet with the dew in the wild forest: This would have killed him, but couldn't. Can man sleep naked in the open forest in winter, summer, autumn and spring, and not be frozen to death, or beaten by insects like Mosquitoes by the dews falling on his body?

Many of us do not have bodily appointment with the Kingdom of God, but have Spiritual appointment with the Kingdom of God: Therefore, what affects our bodies do not affect our spirits or sufferings that destroy heart or spirit of other men build us.

[2Co 4:8-12, 16-18 BSB] 8 We are hard pressed on all sides, but not crushed; perplexed, but not in despair; 9 persecuted, but not forsaken; struck down, but not destroyed. 10 We always carry around in our body the death of Jesus, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our body. 11 For we who are alive are always consigned to death for Jesus’ sake, so that the life of Jesus may also be revealed in our mortal body. 12 So then, death is at work in us, but life is at work in you. 16 Therefore we do not lose heart. Though our outer self is wasting away, yet our inner self is being renewed day by day. 17 For our light and momentary affliction is producing for us an eternal glory that is far beyond comparison. 18 So we fix our eyes not on what is seen, but on what is unseen. For what is seen is temporary, but what is unseen is eternal.

The Most High rules in the kingdom of men, but appoints over it whomever He wills. Men ruled over it by His appointment, but He chose to rule inside it. When the Lord Jesus returns, He will begin ruling over it. Meanwhile, the Most High rules in it.

[Psalms 83:18 AKJV] — That men may know that You, whose name alone is JEHOVAH, are the Most High over all the earth.

After Nebuchadnezzar and David, who again lost his kingdom from God, was deposed and then in humility to God he was restored and received back his kingdom the second time?

MANASSEH

The stories and events of Manasseh's pride against God in idolatry, his eventual losing the kingdom, and his eventual seeking the Lord in humility from his captivity in Babylon, and the Lord God delivering him and restoring him to his kingdom again, etc. Those whole story is somehow (but not fully) similar to the stories and events of Nebuchadnezzar's pride against God, his eventual losing the kingdom, and his eventual seeking the Lord in humility from his captivity in Babylon, and the Lord God delivering him and restoring him to his kingdom again.

Let's just see from scriptures, how bible spoke of Manasseh’s humiliation for his pride, and spoke of lost of his kingdom and throne, by being captured and captivity in Babylon, and spoke of his knowledge of the Lord as the Most High God that rules in the kingdoms of men, and his receiving the kingdom and throne of Jerusalem/Judah back. These are written in:

[2 Chronicles 33:4-13]

4-BSB Manasseh also built altars in the house of the LORD, of which the LORD had said, “My Name will remain in Jerusalem forever.”

5-FBV He built these altars to worship the sun, moon, and stars in both courtyards of the Lord's Temple.

6-FBV He sacrificed his children by burning them to death in the Valley of Ben-hinnom. He practiced sorcery, divination, and witchcraft, and visited mediums and spiritists. He did a great deal of evil in the Lord's sight, making him angry.

7-AFV And he set a carved image, the idol which he had made, in the house of God, of which God had said to David and to Solomon his son, "In this house, and in Jerusalem, which I have chosen before all the tribes of Israel, I will put My name forever.

8-FBV If the Israelites are careful to follow everything I have instructed them to do—all the laws, commandments, and regulations, given through Moses—then I will not make them leave the land I granted your forefathers.”

9-FBV But Manasseh seduced Judah and the people of Jerusalem, leading them to commit even worse sins than the nations the Lord had destroyed before Israelites.

10-FBV The Lord warned Manasseh and his people, but they ignored him.

11-FBV So the Lord sent the armies of Assyria with their commanders to attack them. The Assyrians captured Manasseh, put a hook through his nose, put bronze shackles on him, and took him away to Babylon.

12-AKJV And when he was in affliction, he sought the LORD his God, and humbled himself greatly before the God of his fathers,

13-BSB And when he prayed to Him, the LORD received his plea and heard his petition; so He brought him back to Jerusalem and to his kingdom. Then Manasseh knew that the LORD is God.
