In Daniel chapter five, King Belshazzar was feasting and making merry. In the middle of the party, he asked that the spoils of the Babylonian war with Israel be brought into the feast so that he and his guests could drink from the goblets obtained from the Jewish temple. Pastor Ed teaches us today that when the king drank from cups that were meant for priestly use, it was a defiant act and in essence spitting the face of God. It was precisely at this time that the Lord pronounced judgment on King Belshazzar, king of Babylon.
