Daniel 5 Belshazzar’s Judgment
Nebuchadnezzar’s grandson, Belshazzar is judged and found wanting by God. The Babylonian Kingdom is taken from him and given to the Medes-Persians. The big lesson is that we should do everything we can to grow in humility. Nebuchadnezzar did this. Belshazzar did not and it not only cost him his kingdom but his life.
God chooses to whom He grants permission to reign over all or part of the earth. It is His to determine.
Ten Kings, the Antichrist, and the New World Order, Part 3
But where does all of this start? As we noted previously, even though the coming one-world government has roots all the way back to Genesis 11, Nimrod, and the Tower of Babel, it all begins in earnest in Daniel 2. This is where God chose to reveal what was previously hidden and starts the clock ticking. It is interesting that God chose to reveal the start of the first empire all the way to the global unification of the fourth and final empire in its revised or “resurrected” form (yet future), through Nebuchadnezzar. However, it makes sense if this is where God began tracking the 70 “weeks” that are revealed in Daniel 9.
