Today's reading: Numbers 20:1-13

And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
Daniel 5:25

It was the year 539 B.C. The Babylonian Empire was falling apart: the enemy had reached the gates of the capital.
Would king Belshazzar seek help from the one true God, whose omnipotence his predecessor, king Nebuchadnezzar, had experienced so mightily? No! In the palace in Babel, an extravagant feast was being celebrated by one thousand of the nobility of the kingdom who had been invited. Wine flowed freely, and they raised their goblets of honour self-appointed gods. They failed to honour the almighty God; instead they challenged Him outrageously by drinking from the golden vessels taken from the temple in Jerusalem.
One cannot mock our great LORD God with impunity. A mysterious hand appeared and wrote "Mene, mene, tekel, upharsin" on the wall. This caused great terror among the company gathered there. Astrologers and soothsayers were summoned to interpret the words, but they failed in the task. Then they remembered Daniel, who, as they knew, served the almighty God and had interpreted Nebuchadnezzar's dream. Daniel's interpretation once again spelt disaster: Belshazzar's kingdom was at its end, the empire would disintegrate. Indeed, that very night, Belshazzar was murdered.
For our own day, the writing is also on the wall. What uncertainty reigns in view of all this world's problems! Countless questions are being asked. The Bible answers: the hour of reckoning is at her hand. Whoever heeds God's warning given in love can yet escape the threatening disaster by turning to Him and accepting His offer of salvation.
