[Book of Jeremiah]

Psalm 42:7 Deep calls to deep in the roar of your waterfalls; all your waves and breakers have swept over me.

Context

As the Deer Pants for the Water
…6O my God, my soul is in despair within me; Therefore I remember You from the land of the Jordan And the peaks of Hermon, from Mount Mizar. 7Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. 8The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life.…

…7Deep calls to deep at the sound of Your waterfalls; All Your breakers and Your waves have rolled over me. 8The LORD will command His lovingkindness in the daytime; And His song will be with me in the night, A prayer to the God of my life. 9I will say to God my rock, "Why have You forgotten me? Why do I go mourning because of the oppression of the enemy?"…

If you are a seeker after God you are going to have enemies. King David had enemies. Nevertheless, God was with Him and he prevailed against them. Daniel had enemies and for only one reason I can find! He sought the LORD with his whole heart. If you are in Christ you will be persecuted. Rejoice, because the LORD is your deliverer and what a mighty deliverer He is!

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Daniel 6:10 Now when Daniel learned that the decree had been published, he went home to his upstairs room where the windows opened toward Jerusalem. Three times a day he got down on his knees and prayed, giving thanks to his God, just as he had done

Context

Daniel in the Lions' Den
10Now when Daniel knew that the document was signed, he entered his house (now in his roof chamber he had windows open toward Jerusalem); and he continued kneeling on his knees three times a day, praying and giving thanks before his God, as he had been doing previously. 11Then these men came by agreement and found Daniel making petition and supplication before his God.…

_______________________________
Why did Daniel continue to pray three times a day after the decree? Because Daniel didn't bow down to anyone but God. Neither did Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego. Neither do I. Neither should anyone who serves the Living God. We bow down the the LORD. That is who we bow down to. Is there any other god? I know not any!

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

I don't have a link for this message as it coming from something the LORD has been giving me for the past three days.

It begins in Daniel Chapter Five:

Belshazzar defiles the Temple vessels
_______________________________

Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand. Belshazzar, while he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nechadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem, that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.

Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem, and the king, and his princes, his wives and his concubines, drank in them.

They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.

In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick, upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.

Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another. The king cried aloud to bring the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.

Then came in the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.

Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonished.

Daniel 5: 1 - 9

[Book of Jeremiah]

Daniel is summoned to Interpret the Handwriting on the wall
_______________________

Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed:

There is a man in thy kingdom in whom is the spirit of the holy gods, and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him, whom the king Nebadchadnezzar, thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers.

Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar, now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.

- Daniel 5: 6- 12
_______________________________________
The Queen knew of Nebuchadnezzars eye witness account of seeing a fourth man in the fiery furnace with Shadrach, Meshach and Abednigo. Nebuchadnezzar upon seeing the three Hebrew young men unharmed and walking unbound in the fire saw a fourth man and said it looked like the Son of God. He was right, Jesus Christ was the fourth man in the fiery furnace with the three Hebrew young men. The Queen was right in stating that the Spirit of the Holy Gods - Father, Son and Holy Spirit was in Daniel and she was also right in stating that light and understanding and wisdom was found in Daniel. So Daniel is summoned to interpret the meaning of the handwriting on the wall. Because the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers could not interpret the handwriting on the wall.

[Book of Jeremiah]

Daniel is Brought Before the king
_____________________________________

Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?

I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof, but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:

And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts, now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another, yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make know to him the interpretation.

- Daniel 5: 13- 17

Next Daniel interprets the handwriting. To be continued.......

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Interpretation of the Handwriting on the Wall
_____________________________________

O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:

And for the majesty that he gave him, all the people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared, before him, whom he would slew, and whom he would keep alive, and whom he would set up, and whom he would put down.

But when his heart was lifted up with pride, and his mind hardened with pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him.

And he was driven from the sons of men, and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses, they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointed over it whomsoever he will.

And thou his son, Belshazzar, has not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this. But thou hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven, and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them, and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, of iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified:

Then was the part of the hand sent from him, and this writing was written.

And this is the writing that was written, ME'-NE, ME'-NE, TE'KEL, UPHAR-SIN.

This is the interepretation of ME'NE: God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.

TE-KEL: Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.

PE'-RES: Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and put a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom.

-Daniel 5: 18 - 29
_______________

You may note from the beginning it is made clear that it was God who had given Nebuchadnezzar all that he had been given. His kingdom, the people, the authority to choose who would stay and who would go, who would would be raised up and who would be put down. All decisions were granted unto him by God Almighty. This is true of every king, every leader, every authority. It is God who appoints. Not man. Even the kings of Saudi Arabia, kings throughout the middle east and Asia are chosen by God. Both good kings and bad kings are appointed by God.

Three charges were brought against Belshazzar. 1. He sinned not through ignorance but through disobedience and pride. 2. He defiled God by desecrating the sacred vessels. 3. He praised idols and so He did not honor God. He was weighed in the balances means he was weighed in God's light.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Belshazzar Is Killed
________________

In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.

And Darius the Median took the kingdom, being about threescore and two years old.
_____________________________________________________________________

That very night the judgment of God falls upon Belshazzar and he is killed. Two scriptures accompany this scripture in Daniel concerning the death of Belshazzar. Proverbs 29: 1 and Luke 12:20

It is written:

He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy.
- Proverbs 29: 1

To comprehend a scripture it is better to read the scripture before it and the scripture that comes after it to get a fuller meaning of what God is saying. So in order to better comprehend the verse we can look at the ones before and after 29:1 and include 29: 1 reading in order -

It is written:

When the wicked rise, men hide themselves, but when they perish the righteous increase.
He that being often reproved hardeneth his neck, shall suddenly be destroyed, and that without remedy. When the righteous are in authority, the people rejoice: but when the wicked beareth rule, the people mourn.

- Proverbs 28:28, 29:1, 29:2

Next scripture verse Luke 12:20 But God said to him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided?

Going to the full three verses - the one before and after we read the following:

It is written:

And I will say to my soul, Soul, thou hast much goods laid up for many years, take thine ease, eat, drink, and be merry. But God said unto him, Thou fool, this night thy soul shall be required of thee: Then whose shall those things be, which thou hast provided? So is he that layeth up treasures for himself, and is not rich toward God. -Luke 12: 19,20,21

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Daniel is promoted
________________

It pleased Darius to set over the kingdom an hundred and twenty princes, which should be over the whole kingdom. And over these three presidents, of whom Daniel was the first: that the princes might give accounts unto them, and the king should have no damage. Then this Daniel was preferred above the presidents and princes, because and excellent spirit was in him, and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

- Daniel 6: 1 - 3

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Darius Signs the Foolish Decree
__________________________

Then the presidents and princes sought to find occasion against Daniel concerning the kingdom, but they could find none occasion nor fault, forasmuch as he was faithful, neither was there any error or fault found in him.

Then said these men, We shall not find any occasion against Daniel, except we find it against him concerning the law of his God. Then these presidents and princes assembled themselves together to the king, and said thus unto him, King Dairus, live for ever.

All the presidents of the kingdom, the governors, and the princes, the counsellors, and the captains, have consulted together to establish a royal statute, and to make a firm decree, that whosoever shall ask a petition of any God or man for thirty days, save of thee, O king, he shall cast into the den of lions.

Now, O king, establish the decree, and sign the writing, that it be not changed, according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not. Wherefore king Darius signed the writing and the decree.

- Daniel 6: 4 - 9
_____________

This was a conspiracy against Daniel to get rid of him. The conspirators lied to the king by telling the king that "all" the royal administrators supported the proposed decree, since they knew that Daniel ( who was totally unaware of their proposal to the king ) was the foremost of the three administators.

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Daniel Prays Faithfully
__________________

Now when Daniel knew that the writing was signed, he went into his house, and his windows being open in his chamber toward Jerusalem, he kneeled upon his knees three times a day, and prayed, and gave thanks before his God, as he did aforetime. Then these men assembled, and found Daniel praying and making supplication before his God. then they came near, and spake before the king concerning the king's decree. Hast thou not signed a decree, that every man that shall ask a petition of any God or man within thirty days, save of thee O king, shall be cast into the den of lions? The king answered and said, The thing is true according to the law of the Medes and Persians, which altereth not.

Then answered they and said before the king, That Daniel, which is of the children of captivity of Judah, regardeth not thee, O king, nor the decree that thou hast signed, but maketh his petition three times a day. Then the king, when he heard these words, was sore displeased with himself, and set his heart on Daniel to deliver him: and he labored till the going down of the sun to deliver him. Then these men assembled unto the king, and said unto the king, Know, O King, that the law of the Medes and Persians is, That no decree nor statute which the king establisheth may be changed.

- Daniel 6: 10 - 15

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Daniel is cast into the Lion's Den
__________________________


Then the king commanded, and they brought Daniel, and cast him into the den of lions. Then the king spake and said unto Daniel, Thy God whom thou servest continually, he will deliver thee. And a stone was brought, and laid upon the mouth of the den, and the king sealed it with his own signet and with the signet of his lords, that the purpose might not be changed concerning Daniel.

Then the king went to his palace, and passed the night fasting, neither were instruments of musick brought before him, and his sleep went from him.

Daniel 6: 16 - 18

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Daniels Deliverance
____________________________________________

Then the king arose very early in the morning, and went in haste unto the den of lions. And when he came to the den, he cried with a lamentable voice unto Daniel: and the king spake and said to Daniel, O Daniel, servant of the living God, is thy God, whom thou servest continually, able to deliver thee from the lions? Then said Daniel unto the king, O king, live for ever.

My God hath sent his angel, and hath shut the lions mouths, and they have not hurt me: forasmuch as before him innocency was found in me, and also before thee, o king, have I done no hurt.

Then was the king exceeding glad for him, and commanded that they should take Daniel out of the den, and no manner of hurt was found upon him, because he believed in his God.

And the king commanded and brought those men which had accused Daniel, and they cast them into the den of lions, them, with their children, and their wives, and the lions had the mastery of them, and brake all their bones in pieces for ever they came at the bottom of the den.

Daniel 6: 18 - 24

 

[Book of Jeremiah]

Darius' Wise Decree
_________________

Then king Darius wrote unto all people, nations, and languages, that dwell in all the earth, Peace be multiplied unto you.

I make a decree, That in every dominion of my kingdom men tremble and fear before the God of Daniel, for he is the living God, and stedfast for ever, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed, and his dominion shall be even unto the end. He delivered and rescueth, and he worketh signs and wonders in heaven and in earth, who hath delivered Daniel from the power of the lions.

So this Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius, and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

- Daniel 6: 25- 28
