The book of Daniel tells us many things about the future and Daniel told King Nebuchadnezzar the future of his kingdom and the kingdoms that would follow him. It’s curious to me that the world started out with a dictator of the world and will end that same way with the rule of the anti-Christ. Fourteen thousand plus wars later and it all ends the same way, with a leader in the place of God. The hand-writing on the wall continues to this day globally and on a personal level. We can understand what’s taking place now from what Daniel wrote over five hundred years before Christ. We all can see it if we look. Personally we see the gray hair and the other indications the clock is running out for us. We think we have tomorrow but the writing is on the wall. We can’t miss it. Belshazzar should have known what was about to take place before the hand writing on the wall. But he was the ultimate party animal. To varying degrees there seems to be a lot of “partying” going on with everyone but I see the older generation especially involved. We’re surrounded by music of “our” generation. Nothing has changed but our dilapidated bodies. The writing on the wall says hurry, do what you were sent here to do. Get ready and take as many as you can with you. All those we’ve given up on maybe need someone interceding for them in prayer. Maybe, just maybe.
