King Belshazzar uses the vessels of gold and silver that has been taken out of the temple in Jerusalem to drink wine with his people. God responds to his evil actions. King Belshazzar witnesses God’s hand appearing on the wall of the king’s palace. When the king sees the hand writing on the wall, he becomes so frightened his legs give way.
The appearance of a sinner in front of God’s justice can only be frightening. However, to those who have recognised their sins and have repented, those who have been forgiven experiences grace and peace by God.
Daniel 5:1-12
1 King Belshazzar gave a great banquet for a thousand of his nobles and drank wine with them. 2 While Belshazzar was drinking his wine, he gave orders to bring in the gold and silver goblets that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken from the temple in Jerusalem, so that the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. 3 So they brought in the gold goblets that had been taken from the temple of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank from them. 4 As they drank the wine, they praised the gods of gold and silver, of bronze, iron, wood and stone.
5 Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. 6 His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his legs became weak and his knees were knocking.
