Discuss Daniel 5 Page 2

Welcome Robert!

Glad to see you here brother! I somewhat recently began using this site myself and have really enjoyed it. Great information and references daily along with prayer requests! Hope to see you stick around!

God Bless

I just found your site this morning, having looked up a verse earlier and the search was still on my computer when I logged back on. Although I do like the ASB and the NASB, the KJV is still my favorite. There are several scriptures which I'm so familiar with in the KJV that they just don't sound the same written any other way.

The opportunity though to message online with other believers is welcome. So many sites now are becoming opposed to the truth of God's Word. So, thank you for being here.

Astonied does mean Astonished (surprised, wonder, amazed), & is an archaic word from the 14th Century.

danel 10:6 that how the most high look

Is the last word of Daniel 5:9 really "astonied", or should it be "astonished"?

I find it intriguing to consider his writing finger relative to the following passages:

Exodus 8:19 - Then the magicians said unto Pharaoh, This is the finger of God: and Pharaoh's heart was hardened, and he hearkened not unto them; as the LORD had said.

Exodus 31:18 - And he gave unto Moses, when he had made an end of communing with him upon mount Sinai, two tables of testimony, tables of stone, written with the finger of God.

Psalm 8:3 - When I consider thy heavens, the work of thy fingers, the moon and the stars, which thou hast ordained;

Daniel 5:5 - In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

Luke 11:20 - But if I with the finger of God cast out devils, no doubt the kingdom of God is come upon you.

4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

Note: 2020 and nothing changed since verse 4, because today all nations /human race of the world is in confusion and lusting for more money, houses, education, cars, dainty things or stuff, but JEHOVAH /GOD is concern with SALVATION because TIME shall end for all, more so sooner than later.

I am not sure but a good guess would be his son Belshazzar in Daniel 5: 20 But when his (Nebuchadnezzar) heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:

21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.

22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;

23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them;

That would be my guess

v.17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation."

The books of the apocrypha were NOT inspired bu the Holy Spirit.

Jehovah / GOD moves mightily against a pride-heart plus worshiper of idols / sin ( 4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.) but it was too late because that night GOD would take down one king a raise up another king (the young man / king did not learn nothing from his farther sinful-ways ) 2019 is a repeat

The Holy Spirit spoke through Daniel; but the Words fell on a wayside heart too trampled down and hardened by letcheries and excessive self indulgence; and there was no way for the king to find repentance. Notwithstanding how the king heard the Word and received it or didn't receive it; the truth found him that very night, and he perished without light! The truth is not subject to man's belief.

The Lord will exalt his people in due time. He exalted Daniel because of his obedience and boldness to speak.

Daniel 5:16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.

All time is marked by GOD, no matter what place you hold in the world. Daniel let's us you should be on our mission while we have time. Time is soon gone and where will be then?

Daniel brought out the fact that Belshazzar needed to humble himself in verse 22. God opposes the haughty ones.

Praise the lord our God.blessed and glorious is His holy name. May our soul tremble at the very mention of His name.oily if we would be like. Daniel who represent God wherever we may go,so the world may that there God in Zion.

To Insight777 - it wasn't of Belshazzar that the robe 'n chain were put on Daniel; it was God's doing. In the next ch. Darius sets Daniel up over the princes - one of only 3. Daniel kept his walk with God - to be a witness to his own people as well as the gentiles. And God caused Darius to honor him. Nowhere does it say Daniel didn't want this. He knew he could use it for God's glory.

i love this APOCRYPHA

Amen.. Glorious and True is OUR GOD the GOD of Israel, the GOD of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, The ONLY True and wise GOD. THERE IS NO GOD BESIDES OUR GOD. I think the time of Daniels stay in Babylon is seeing the power of GOD to do HIS WILL and the same in our lives. Daniel was there to see kings change and DREAMS made true. God kept Daniel there to interpret the things that would come to pass.

daniel was one of the prophets that saved GOD without fear

It ' s similar to Daniel 5:1.

verse 29...they clothed Daniel in scarlet means they saw him in sin, as sinful. Daniel did not want this. They put a chain of gold around his neck could mean that Israel is chained in conflict over economics, Daniel did not want this. The proclamation made by Belshazzar is that Daniel, Israel, will never rule and will be in the position of a 3rd world nation, of no influence in world affairs.

I noticed something odd although perhaps since Daniel is telling us what will happen during the end of days, it does have significant meaning. The difference in the word Belteshazzar and Belshazzar is TE. Today TE is the symbol for tonne used in offshore and NUCLEAR industries.

Glory, Glory, Glory be to the Lord God Most High. The Holy One Of Abraham, Issac and Jacob, the God Of Israel. The Words of the Most High, are words of life, If a man lives according to the words of the almighty, he shall not be moved! Blesse be the God Of Israel.

We all know that God is the one that instal every things, when a person forgot this,s he must face the consequent thereof.when you become rich and you asume that having this reachness is just a matter of having a business mind,that is what cause most of problems.Belshazar should know however how much he drank,the things dedicated to God must be respected, not to use them carelessly the reason why they are kept there is even not known to him. as a result he lost not only his Kingship ,but also his life.so let us be carefull.

I believe that at judgment, that we will all be judged according to what we have done and what our hearts have desired. I also believe that if we have not put God first, above anything or anyone...then we have made another God or idol which we have chased after see Deut 13

pride goes before fail. pride is indeed evil spirit. wise Christians should run away from it. It is deadly.

God is mercyfull to everyone if only we humble ourselves before him and worship him alone.But if we exalt ourselves his wrath will fall on us.Grory is to him.

The bible says that every knees should bow before the King of all kibgd, the creator of all things. God has been patience will all of us, but his patience will certainly come to end. Just as the case of Belshazzar, we don't know how long was he being disrespectful to the Lord, we don't how many times has God tried to get him to humble himself before Him. This was not recorded in the book of daniel, but im very sure that God had given Belshazzar plenty of chances, just like. He has been patience with all of us. however,the time was presented where the great belshazzard fate was
determined. The bible also states that God is a jealous GOd and does not share His glory with no one. So worshipping the gods of gold and silver and of brass instead of the Creator of all things was truly the last straw for belshazzar. Lets give God all the glories that are due to Him only and lets learn from our fathers'mistake (biblically speaking), just like belshazzar should have learned from his father's mistake.
