Title: Scales of God

Babylon was a superpower at the time, and it destroyed Israel during the reign of King Nebuchadnezzar, destroyed the temple in Jerusalem, and took all the temple equipment when they took the Jews away.
After a splendid period, the Babylonian Empire finally destroyed Belshazzar and passed on the throne to King Darius. King Belshazzar held a banquet until that night, and when the banquet was ripe and full of drunkenness, narcissism and human talk began to flow, and a surprising and strange thing happened. Human fingers came up to write on the limestone wall and saw the king writing it. Because of this Daniel became the third ruler of the kingdom, Belshazzar was killed that night, and Darius the Mede became king.
What was Belshazzar's event like?
His name didn't go well. Belshazzar means Baal protects. The people of Jesus should think carefully about the terms they use and use them to glorify God.
We invited 1,000 noble people to a banquet. Now is not the time for a feast, but a time for 1000 nobles to gather to pray and worry about the country. Because it is a desperate moment when the combined forces of the Medes and Persians are about to raid the city of Babylon. When the saints become spiritually dull, they cannot distinguish between the right and the wrong, and they cannot face the situation.
With pride and conceit, he even committed blasphemy, which sparked excitement. Pride is written as the vanguard of destruction. We must use Saul's pride and destruction as a mirror. Belshazzar did not hesitate to drink wine and praise idols in the name of God's temple.
written on lime wall
Fingers and letters on the limestone wall. The king himself witnessed the fingers writing on the limestone wall. I was so scared and trembling that my thigh joints seemed to melt, and my knees collided with each other.

God still weighs the saints.
In every age and age, in history, God loves Israel unchangingly, fundamentally, when he blesses or disciplines them, and leads them to the path of salvation. However, God clearly weighs nations and peoples, families and events, and individual faith. God weighs the believers' faith. God weighs our prayers. God, who weighed Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar, and Eli, destroyed them, and God who weighed Joseph, Daniel, and Samuel created straw-like human beings and created a nation and nation. Please do not become a person who looks great in the eyes of others, but stand before the scales of God who measure accurately. God sets me and you on the scales of God today.
