Chapter 5 is a wake-up call: Belshazzar knew Nebuchadnezzar’s story and still mocked God—using holy things for his own pleasure—so the hand wrote, “Mene, Mene, Tekel, Parsin.” Your days are numbered; you’ve been weighed and found wanting; your kingdom is divided. God is sovereign over empires and evenings—so humble yourself now, honor Him with reverence, and run to Jesus, the only One who makes us measure up.

Numbered. Weighed. Humble yourself—Christ is enough.
