This sermon expounds Daniel 5, where Belshazzar hosts a drunken feast in besieged Babylon, profanes the holy vessels from Jerusalem’s temple, and is suddenly confronted by a mysterious hand writing judgment on the palace wall. The pastor traces the historical fall of Babylon to Cyrus, explains Daniel’s interpretation of “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin,” and shows how Belshazzar’s arrogance, idolatry, and willful ignorance of Nebuchadnezzar’s testimony led to his swift destruction the very night of the feast. Drawing parallels to modern America’s rejection of God’s authority, moral law, and design for life, marriage, and family, he warns that our own “handwriting is on the wall” while also encouraging believers that, as in Noah’s day and Lot’s day, God removes the righteous before pouring out judgment.
