Daniel #9
Feast of 1000 nobles (Dan 5:1-4). Writing on the wall (Dan 5:5-9). Belshazzer offers royalty (robe of purple), authority (gold chain), rulership -- promises that won't give contentment (Dan 5:7, Pro 23:5). Natural man is enslaved to fear (Dan 5:9, Heb 2:14-15). Devil makes the natural man fearful. The curse is dependence on mankind or great men (Jer 17:5-6). Spiritual things are foolish to the natural man (1Co 2:14). Attitude of Belshazzer and 1000 nobles is analogous to ours today -- human viewpoint and solutions. Between Daniel chapters 4 to 5 is 23 years. The Queen mother mentions Daniel's wisdom (Dan 5:10-12). Daniel is evaluated five times in the book of Daniel. Ezekiel ranks Daniel with Noah and Job in wisdom and personal righteousness (Eze 14:14-20, Eze 28:3). Nebuchadnezzar mentions Daniel's spirituality (Dan 1:20, Dan 4:8, Dan 4:18). Daniel's enemies charged him as faithful and incorruptible (Dan 6:4-5). King Darius mentions integrity in service to God (Dan 6:16). Gabriel indicates divine approval (Dan 10:11, Dan 10:19). Daniel was demoted and probably 88 years old. Daniel chapters 7 and 8 come before chapter 5 historically. These things are written for our instruction (1Co 10:6-11). Daniel rejects the king's gifts (Dan 5:17). The Lord's parable of a rich man applies (Luk 12:16-21, Pro 23:4-5, 1Ti 6:1-21). True contentment with godliness is the greatest wealth we can have (Heb 13:5-6).
