Daniel: When Kingdoms Collide "The Writing on the Wall" | Pastor J.D. Abell

Season 15

Episode 5
The fall of Babylon in 539 B.C. reveals timeless truths about pride and divine judgment. King Belshazzar's arrogant feast, using sacred temple vessels to mock God, led to supernatural writing on the wall declaring his kingdom's end. Despite knowing his grandfather Nebuchadnezzar's humbling by God, Belshazzar hardened his heart in pride. Daniel interpreted the mysterious words as God's final judgment - the king had been weighed and found wanting. That very night, Belshazzar died and his kingdom fell, demonstrating that every heart will ultimately be measured by God's eternal standard.
