Weighed And Found Wanting

Open blasphemy –Belshazzar openly disgraced the God of Israel

Mysterious words

Wise men futility (again)

Queen mother to the rescue –The queen mother's generation respected God; Belshazzar's generation did not.

A (less) friendly interaction –Daniel was not moved by fear of men as he spoke to Belshazzar.

History lesson:
a. Nebuchadnezzar –In the face of irrefutable evidence of God's
sovereignty, Nebuchadnezzar humbled himself and worshiped
God
b. Belshazzar –In the face of historical evidence of God's
sovereignty, Belshazzar chose to attribute glory to impotent idols
and blaspheme the true God.
