(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.

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.

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.

I don't think we should say anything about them, but instead say somethings to them. No human on earth has never experienced something spiritual — it's just that many do not know the spiritual things they experience every time. So it is not lack of the experience in them, but lack of the knowledge in them.

FxMasterz:
Nice post.

What should we say about atheists who claim they've never experienced anything spiritual in their whole lives?

I don't think we should say anything about them, but instead say somethings to them. No human on earth has never experienced something spiritual — it's just that many do not know the spiritual things they experience every time. So it is not lack of the experience in them, but lack of the knowledge in them.

(Daniel 5:20 - AKJV) — But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

(Daniel 5:20 - FBV) — But when he became arrogant and hard-hearted, acting proudly, he was removed from his royal throne and his glory was taken away from him.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

PERIL OF HUBRIS

In the first time the Kingdom Authority and Gifts were taken from Nebuchadnezzar, his fall resulted from self exaltation, uplifting of his heart, and his hardenness of mind. All power on earth was given to him, but the power corrupted him because he couldn't wield such power without the corruption of pride and self-exaltation. You must not have both power and pride lest you be deceived and corrupted. Power belongs to God even when you have it: Therefore do not make God and your Pride to contest or wrestle over who owns your power, your glory, your authority or your possessions. Your pride cannot stand God's resistance, and yet your pride provokes and challenges God indirectly.

Nebuchadnezzar, by the kingdom authority and gifts he had, able to exalt whomever he wanted and depose/abase whomever he wanted. But the Forbidden Tree/Fruit in that liberty he only had to avoid to retain his kingdom and dominion was “exalting himself.”

[Luke 14:11 AKJV] — For whoever exalts himself shall be abased; and he that humbles himself shall be exalted.

[Matthew 18:3-4 BSB] — “Truly I tell you,” He said, “unless you change and become like little children, you will never enter the kingdom of heaven. Therefore, whoever humbles himself like this little child is the greatest in the kingdom of heaven.

(Daniel 5:18 - AKJV) — O you king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honor:

(Daniel 5:18 - BSB) — As for you, O king, the Most High God gave your father Nebuchadnezzar sovereignty and greatness, glory and honor.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️
KINGDOM AUTHORITY AND KINGDOM GIFTS

In the bible verse above, the one who is incumbently king was not the one to whom the Most High God directly gave the kingdom, sovereignty, majesty, greatness, glory and honor. Rather they were given to the king's father (or grandfather), Nebuchadnezzar. But he to whom they were given became dead, and yet the Most High God has not retrieved or collected those things He gave to the dead man when he was alive as king.

However, after Nebuchadnezzar died, the kingdom gifts and kingdom authority he had remained in his house. And the king in the bible verse above inherited the throne, the kingdom, sovereignty, majesty, glory and honor, from his father Nebuchadnezzar.

There are gifts of God, talents, skills and abilities, that follow a man's soul or spirit even after the man dies in body. But the Kingdom Gifts and Kingdom Authority are not gifts of God or talents that go down with the recipient into his grave; rather they are gifts of God that could be taken and given, gifts that could be lost or gained, for they are gifts that must be kept to retain them. Those who had such gifts but died were stripped from those gifts, because those gifts, grace or talents, do not go down with the recipients into grace death or hell. So, the man must return to earth alive from the dead to repossess those his Kingdom Gifts and Kingdom Authority on earth.

What does this have to do with the Handwriting on the Wall?

The Handwriting on the wall was the notification of event in which the Most High God that gave the Kingdom Authority and Gifts to a man over the whole world eventually took them away from the man's descendant, divided or shared them and gave them over to the Medes (a portion) and the Persians (the other portion).

But Daniel in the bible verse above was not just laying foundation of how the Kingdom Authority and gifts came to the king's father before the Handwriting on the wall came to announce that they were taken away from Belshazzar; but Daniel was doing so before Voice from heaven came to announce that it's taken away from Nebuchadnezzar at first but after seven years time passover they were restored to him. So, instead of this top bible verse above being the only occasion that the Most High God gave the Kingdom Authority and Gifts to the same man, Nebuchadnezzar, there were two occasions that God had to give the same Kingdom Authority and Gifts to him because after the first occasion he provoked God to take away the kingdom authority and gifts from him, but after 7 years later God gave them back to him: Hence twice.

No man in the bible before Nebuchadnezzar had the luxury of a second chance in life before death, to have received Dominion or Kingdom Authority and Gifts directly from God to him, and later provoke God into reversing or taking back those Dominion, gifts and Authority away from him, but yet had God to also reverse Himself the second time and still gave those Dominion, Authority or Gifts, to the same man due to his humility.

God only gave Adam the dominion, kingdom authority and gifts once, but when Adam transgressed, the kingdom was taken away from Adam, he and his wife were driven away. And though they suffered and sought for God to restore or give them back the kingdom, Dominion, Authority and associate Gifts, God did not give them in life but after they died they received them through the Lord Jesus Christ (Adam).

Noah and his three sons received the Kingdom, Dominion, Authority and Gifts, after the flood: but only one time.

Who again was given the Power, Dominion, Kingdom, Sovereignty, Authority over all the earth, the whole world, and over all living creatures of earth and seas, between Adam, Noah and Nebuchadnezzar? Nebuchadnezzar was a “King of kings.” As it is written,

[Daniel 2:37-38 FBV] — Your Majesty, you are the king of kings to whom the God of heaven has given the kingdom, and power, strength, and glory. He gave you control over all peoples, as well as the wild animals and birds. He made you ruler of all of them. You are the head of gold.

OK, let's step it down to kings, and not at levels of King of Kings or Father of Nations:

¤1¤ Esau lost his birthright, but could not recover it again though he sought with tears

¤2¤ Saul lost his kingdom for God rejected him, and he could not recover it again

Well, I have found a man who matched the second chance of Nebuchadnezzar at receiving his kingdom back but at level of kings and not level of King of Kings.

¤3¤ David lost his kingdom because his fornication or adultery with a woman, and for his murder of the righteous man whose wife he had sexual intercourse with. David was stripped from his throne, driven into exile because of his son, lost his kingdom temporarily, he lost sons and wives that were defiled by his son, and David lost the right to be called “A man after God's Heart” — All connected to his punishment for having sexual intercourse with a woman that was another man's wife and for murder.

(Daniel 5:19 - AKJV) — And for the majesty that He gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.

(Daniel 5:19 - BSB) — Because of the greatness that He bestowed on him, the people of every nation and language trembled in fear before him. He killed whom he wished and kept alive whom he wished; he exalted whom he wished and humbled whom he wished.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

Let's understand the bible verse above in three fragments:

◇Fragment 1◇ Because of the majesty that God gave Nebuchadnezzar, all people, all nations, and languages, trembled and feared before Nebuchadnezzar. — Learn These —: When God gave him the Kingdom, Majesty, Glory and Honor, these Kingdom Authority or Gifts did make the world to become Nebuchadnezzar's Fan, but rather made the whole world to tremble, fear or bow before him. The majesty and gifts God bestowed on him was inspiring people's love and desires to see him, touch him, take pictures with him, get him to sign autograph for them, or people emulating whatever catchphrase or style he does like fans do to their celebrities. Rather the majesty and gifts God bestowed on him made all people, all nations, all languages to tremble and fear before him.

Therefore, in Dominion or Kingdom Authority, Fear is more important than Love.

When God gave Adam dominion over all the earth, God put fear of Adam in all the living creatures God made from the ground (except the Serpent). And when God gave Noah dominion over all the earth, God put fear of Noah in all the living creatures God made from the ground. So also, when God gave the Kingdom Authority and Gifts to Nebuchadnezzar, God put fear and trembling at Nebuchadnezzar in all people, all nations and all languages. This is not one tribe likes and respects this man but another tribe do not feel the same about him. In Nebuchadnezzar's case, all tribes felt the same about he whom God ordained King of Kings.

[Psalms 99:1] — The LORD reigns; let the people tremble: He sits between the cherubim; let the earth be moved.

◇Fragment 2◇ Because of the majesty that God gave Nebuchadnezzar, he could take away life in any man he wanted, and he could also keep the life of any man he wanted. — Learn These —: You know where the scriptures say, “He that leads into captivity shall go into captivity: he that kills with the sword must be killed with the sword. Here is the patience and the faith of the saints.” [Rev 13:10]. — This stated principle applies to all men and to the Antichrist, but did not apply to the man whom God gave the Kingdom Authority and Gifts to kill or spare whomever he will. All kings could not save whom the king of kings wanted to kill, and all kings could not kill whom the king of kings wanted to save alive. The only time this attribute failed was in the instance of Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego, whom the king of kings wanted to kill but ended killing those he wanted to save alive and couldn't kill those three men of God he wanted to kill.

◇Fragment 3◇ Because of the majesty that God gave Nebuchadnezzar, he could exalt anyone and could humble or abase anyone as he wanted. — Learn These —: You know where the scriptures say, “Let every soul be subject to the higher powers. For there is no power but of God: the powers that be are ordained of God. 2 Whoever therefore resists the power, resists the ordinance of God: and they that resist shall receive to themselves damnation.” [Rom 13:1-2] — This stated principle applies to all men, but did not apply to the man whom God gave the Kingdom Authority and Gifts to exalt or abase whomever he will. In this case, Nebuchadnezzar is the ordinance of God, while those Nebuchadnezzar as the king of kings exalted to sit on the throne of any kingdom or nation on earth became the ordinance of Nebuchadnezzar. You may read “2-Kings 24, 25” to see examples of kings of Judah that Nebuchadnezzar self appointed kings and the ones he deposed from being king.

Having such kingdom Authority and gifts made him the Supreme Judge over all the earth and the inhabitants therein. As Adam had Authority to name and rename all living creatures on earth, and as Noah had Authority to exalt Shem to Priesthood of God above Japhet, and to exalt Japhet above Ham (Canaan) or to abuse Canaan into becoming a servant of servants. Even so, God didn't reverse whomever Nebuchadnezzar exalted or abased with the Kingdom Authority and Gifts of God he received from God.

+

(Daniel 5:17 - AKJV) — Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let your gifts be to yourself, and give your rewards to another; yet I will read the writing to the king, and make known to him the interpretation.

(Daniel 5:17 - BSB) — In response, Daniel said to the king, “You may keep your gifts for yourself and give your rewards to someone else. Nevertheless, I will read the inscription for the king and interpret it for him.

♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️♨️

MORE ERRORS OF DANIEL

Recall that I have in few occasions pointed out what I considered as “Errors of Daniel” even though he had excellent spirit, wisdom, understanding, light, etc. These errors do not appear as errors, neither were they even held against Daniel in anyway. Perhaps, in the path and calling of God to Daniel, the Lord had not beheld errors in Daniel just as the Lord had not beheld iniquity in Jacob despite the ways of Jacob nor had the Lord seen perverseness in Israel despite their mistakes according to [Numbers 23:21].

[Romans 4:8] — Blessed is the man to whom the Lord will not impute sin.

However, I here now outline three verses from the Book of Daniel that I found “Errors of Daniel” so far in this progress. The verses include:

》1《 Daniel 2:46 — There contains the record of a king of kings falling down and worshiping Daniel, and commanded oblation be offered to Daniel, and Daniel did not prevent him and his people from worshiping Daniel (idols) - That's one “Error of Daniel.’

》2《 Daniel 4:27 — There contains the record of Daniel preaching the use of righteousness to break off sin and the use of mercy to the poor to break off iniquities and he was giving this as advice to the king who saw a vision of his getting driven away from his kingdom and humanity into a beast for of his pride and self exaltation against the Reign of the Most High in the kingdom of men. The error of Daniel was in preaching wrong message or prescribing wrong “antidote” against Pride or Ignorance.

》3《 Daniel 5:17 — There contains the record of Daniel in top bible verse above.

Two errors of Daniel in the words he spoke to Belshazzar the king in the bible verse above:

◇A◇ The error of replying the king with “Keep your gifts to yourself.”

◇B◇ The error of also telling the king, “Give your rewards to someone else.”

Both of these words from Daniel's mouth were not from the Excellent Spirit in Daniel, because they were words of error. But the assurance that he will yet read the Handwriting on the wall and explain its interpretation to the king were agreement with the Handwriting on the wall and the Spirit of God in Daniel.

Somehow, Daniel actually insulted the king by the two sentences he made in declining the king's promised reward. Even if Daniel as a Jewish man was angry with the for using the vessels of the temple house of God that the Jews highly regarded sacred, and the king had desecrated them in his orgies and rioting, Daniel should not have thus belittle the king that way by rejecting his gifts, just because Daniel happened to be his only messiah to the Handwriting on the wall before the king at his desperate moment.

I am not even in the mood to talk about whether Daniel was right/wise to decline or reject the rewards and gifts set before him at the side where he performed the tasks. Men of God rejected gifts and offerings from kings for their own peculiar reasons or private dealings with God, but their rejecting or declining those gifts does not mean every believers must also decline such gifts. Examples, this was not the first king's gifts Daniel declined, but this was the first I found errors in his method of declining. The first time Daniel declined a king's gifts, he had and respectfully gave the spiritual or faith reason he had to decline the king's meats and the king's wine offered to him; and that was because he proposed in his heart to not defile himself with those gifts. When Abraham declined accepting rewards or gifts from the king of Sodom, he did that respectfully and explain his reason that he had sworn an oath to God he must keep. When Uriah declined king David's gift of going home on leave from fighting in the war, so that he might sleep with his wife that David had committed adultery with, Uriah declined the gift of entering the comfort of his home, but insisted on remaining in the gates of the palace until he was sent back to fight and continued his active service. When the man of God from Judah declined the king Jeroboam’s gifts/rewards, he respectfully explained that God commanded him to neither eat nor drink in the mission. Elisha declined Naaman’s offerings after healing service, and Elisha showed his reason for declining by swearing to God before Naaman the rich Syrian Captain.
Even so, different men with different reasons to declining kingly gifts and rewards.

But when declining, rejecting or saying “No” to such offers, do so respectfully. The first incidence of a man killing a man or brother was because gifts were offered but were declined or rejected while the gifts of the man that was killed were accepted or loved.

Disrespect in declining a gifts usually appear as if you that's declining or rejecting the gifts is also giving instruction, order, command or raising your voice at the person who offered to you the gifts while rejecting it. Notice how it sounded as if Daniel in declining the king's gifts and rewards, was also giving orders, instruction or command to the king, even in the tone he used to reject the gifts and rewards. Two orders Daniel (a prisoner or captive of Jewry in Babylon) was commanding the king of Babylon to do in the tone of rejecting the king's gifts:

Daniel was commanding or ordering the king to keep his gifts, or telling the king what to do with his gifts

Daniel was commanding or ordering the king to give his rewards to some one else

Don't let your rejecting a gift sound as your issuing a to do or instruction. But you are welcome to use instruction on a giver when you are accepting the gift. E.g. In accepting his gift, you instruct him bring it here, put it there I am coming, give it to this person to hold for me, etc. These are acceptance instructions, which the giver would cheerful go or do to make his gifts count when accepted.

Don't say any of these word to a giver when declining his/her gifts:

I don't want, use it for yourself, you obviously need your gifts more than I
Not Interested, give it to poor.
Etc.

These are rude and disrespectful ways of declining gifts or offers, because of added instruction, redirection the refuser is putting over the gifts he declined. If you are declining the gifts, then you have no say on wherever direction or event you think should happen to the gifts you are declining or rejecting. You will not find anywhere the Lord Jesus declined a gift and still spoke about what happens to the gift he rejects. The Lord Jesus never turned down an offering and still tell the giver to rather give them to the poor. Judas Iscariot (the thief) was the first man to complain against the kind of offering a Man of God was receiving, suggesting that the Man of God should have declined such offering and told the giver to rather feed the poor. I think I have heard a story about a pastor, who rejected a car gift and told the giver to rather use the money of the car to pay his workers he was owing, and feed the community poor. I don’t know the exact details but it sounded like this, and the public was praising that pastor, wishing other men of God would emulate him instead of flamboyance.

In that case, the pastor made an error in turning the car gift to him away, and still issuing instruction to the man on what to do with the car Gifts in reconciliation. Notice that when the Lord Jesus taught about reconciling with your brother before offering your gift at the altar, He said the man should leave the gifts by the altar first and go reconcile with his brother with a different gift if needed. So, that gift by the altar is not rejected, but not given yet. He could give instruction on how he uses his gifts provided he's not rejecting them. Why reject the car and told him to sell it and distribute to men, as if giving to men or poor is as important as giving to the Lord? Don't be Judas Iscariot in mentality (John 12). If it's for Caesar, gift to Caesar; but if it's for God, don't reject it and instruct it be used to please the poor, but rather accept it to God.

Then if the person who is rejecting the gifts cares for the poor or cares for the people he's telling the giver to go give his gifts instead, as Daniel in the bible verse,— What the Decliner or Rejecter should have done is to accept the gifts and then go himself and give them to the poor or to those people. That pastor should have accepted the car, and then use it to pay those salaries or feed the poor himself. The gifts would be more blessed and multiplied when the pastor receives them first, and then give to those people from his hands, rather than telling the giver to give the gifts directly to those people. Example:

A boy had 5 loaves of bread and two fishes — There are 5000 and more church men and women and children who were hungry. The boy has an option of giving directly to the hungry and feed as many as he could, and his reward would be from heaven. The boy also has an option of giving to the Man of God, Jesus Christ and His Disciples. The Boy chose the option of giving to the Man of God, Jesus Christ and His Disciples, rather than giving to the congregation himself. The Man of God did not tell the boy, “No, I will not accept this, but give the gifts rather to those your neighbors around who are more hungry and more in need of these food than I am.” This was what the Man of God did: He took the bread and fishes, and looked up to God on heaven and gave thanks upon the gifts so that the gifts would not only be gifts to God but also gifts from God. Then from the Hands of the Man of God, those gifts that could not have fed 100 people comfortably miraculously fed over 5000 with surpluses remaining.

When Elisha rejected Naaman’s gifts, he did not give him instructions on who to give them next. But when Elisha wanted a giver to give bread to the hungry, Elisha accepted the bread first and then without eating from it he gave to the hungry himself, so that even though he did not need the gifts himself, he accepted and blessed them and gave them to those who needed them.

[2 Kings 4:42-44 FBV] — A man from Baal-shalishah came to the man of God with a sack of firstfruits—the first grain of the year, along with twenty loaves of barley bread. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha. “How can I serve just twenty loaves to a hundred men?” his servant asked. “Give it to the people to eat,” said Elisha, “for this is what the Lord says: ‘They will eat and there will still be some left over.’” So he served the bread to them. They ate, and had some left over, just as the Lord had said.
