Our lesson today comes from Daniel Chapter 5. In the beginning of the chapter, King Belshazzar has a feast for all of his companions and friends. Under the influence of wine, Belshazzar orders that the gold and silver vessels from the temple be brought to him. He and his guests drank from them and praised their gods. At that moment a hand appeared and began to write on the wall. As the king watched he became pale and scared. The king asked for his mediums to interpret the writing, but one of his guest said he should ask for Daniel. The king offered presents to Daniel to interpret the writing. Daniel told him to keep his gifts and he would interpret the writing for him. After Daniel interpreted the dream, the king ordered he be draped with gifts. That night the king was killed and Darius of Mede received the throne.
