  7. “handwriting on the wall”

  8. “handwriting on the wall” • "Handwriting on the wall" -- Daniel 5:5 5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. As Belshazzar and his guests were praising their false gods with God’s holy items, fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote a message on the wall near the lamp stand. Belshazzar froze as he watched this hand write a message on his palace wall. The blood drained from his face and his knees knocked together because what he saw frightened him. In a loud voice he cried out, “Send for my magicians and astrologers!” Notice that when a person lives to please self they don’t look to God for answers first. They try to figure things out for themselves and look to everyone but God for answers.

  9. When his ‘wise men’ (a person is only truly wise when they are living a life that pleases God) were brought before him he said, “Whoever can tell me what this message on my wall says, I will clothe you in purple and have a gold chain placed around your neck. You will also be promoted to the third highest ruler in my kingdom.” Belshazzar’s wise men went over to the wall and studied the writing. They looked at the words and didn’t know what the message said. This terrified Belshazzar and all his banquet guests were baffled. (For teacher: Spiritual things can only be discerned by someone filled with God’s Spirit 1 Corinthians 2:14) A life that honors God will seek wisdom from Godly people who will share God’s truth from the Bible. Believers shouldn’t seek advice or guidance from someone who doesn’t believe in Jesus Christ because they do not know how to please God since they don’t believe in Him
