In the five hundred years of C.E., King Belshazzar of the Chaldeans held a great feast by gathering about 1,000 members of the royal nobles, distinguished guests, and generals to his palace. When the banquet was in full swing and reached its climax, a large man's finger appeared out of the blue in the middle of the palace, and this finger gradually progressed and went from the king's seat to the opposite wall, and wrote large letters on the white marble wall. has disappeared somewhere. The first letter is the Hebrew letter 'Mene Mene', which means number, the second letter is the letter Tekel, which means a scale that deals with weight, and the third letter is Ubarshin, which is a letter to divide and divide. . As soon as the king saw this letter, his face changed quickly and he grew tired of blue, his knees sitting on the dragon table trembled like aspen trees, and he was tired and tired as if he was melting down to his thigh bones. The king summoned all the scholars and magicians of Chaldeans and asked, 'What is the meaning of that letter?' But no one was able to understand the meaning of this strange letter, and the king and his members were trembling with anxiety and nervousness.
At that time, Daniel, who had been taken captive in Judea, was called before the king and began to interpret this letter. Daniel said to the king, 'Mene Mene' is a letter that means number. God has already calculated the age of the king's kingdom, so it means that it is over because it can no longer go down, and 'Tekel' is weighed with a scale. ' is a character that means 'to divide', and it is said that God weighed the king on the scales of God and did not have enough weight to become a king of a nation. 'Ubarsin' is a character that means 'divide'. He said that the Persian meant to be divided into two countries. He was appointed as the third ruler after the king and queen of the country to this brilliant teacher, Daniel, but it was too late, and at the end of the banquet that very night, a group of assassins led by Darius the Mede broke into the palace, and King Belshazzar He killed and slaughtered the nobles of the royal palace to see the end of the Chaldean kingdom.
We should note that the strange letter that appeared in this historical fact is still in our day today, and the same warning not only to King Belshazzar, but to anyone else. 'Mene Mene' God is counting with an abacus in one hand. It is said that I am counting the number of years of fate in my life. A voice came down from heaven to Nebuchadnezzar, the great king of Babylon, who was Belshazzar's grandfather, saying, "I say to you, King Nebuchadnezzar, that the throne of the kingdom has departed from you. Likewise, seven times will pass, until they know that the Most High rules the kingdom of men, and gives it to whomever he pleases” (Daniel 4:31-32). There was a time when he ate root bark in a field and ended his tragic end.
Daniel recalled that fact and said to King Belshazzar, "O king, the Most High God has given your father King Nebuchadnezzar a kingdom and great authority and glory and majesty, so that peoples and nations and those who speak every tongue will He trembled and feared at his feet, and when he became a king, he knew it all, but he did not humble himself. Rather, he exalted himself and disobeyed the lord of heaven, and brought his sanctuary before the king, and the king, the nobles, the queens, and the poor all took it. He drank with wine, and praised the gods made of gold, silver, bronze, iron, and wood and stone, which the king could neither see nor hear, but did not give glory to God, who ruled over the king's breath and made all his plans. This finger appeared in front of him and he wrote this letter."
Today we are not King Belshazzar. But now, this strange finger appears in front of me as well, and I am writing 'Mene Mene'. God is counting your destiny and the destiny of your nation. "Is it worth continuing like this?, now that I have no choice but to end it?" is to know this fact that God is in the hands of God who rules the kingdoms of the world and controls the destiny of mankind. You have been given authority, but you know how to use that authority, how you used it when you gave it wealth, knowledge, and skills, and whether you will continue to give it to him for any benefit?
The next thing is that God's hand is holding a scale. God measures a person's weight. “Are you the king of a country who can rule and lead a country? He killed arbitrarily, raised arbitrarily, raised arbitrarily, lowered arbitrarily. When he was driven out, his heart was like that of a wild beast, and he dwelt with wild donkeys and ate grass like an ox, his body was drenched in the dew of heaven, and the Most High God reigns over the kingdoms of men, and whoever he will I have come to know that you are building on me” (Daniel 4:25). In other words, "King Belshazzar, God has judged you, King Belshazzar, whether you are a king or not, and this is not even a penny." The standard of weight that God's balance weighs is that the core of the problem is whether he has the weight to bear the task in man's moral capacity, personal weight, and religious system.
Korea has just begun to say that its mental health has reached the point of complete ruin compared to its quantitative growth within two or three years. There is no place where the pus does not come out no matter where you press on the body, and as the prophet Isaiah said, it was covered with scars from head to toe. Therefore, it is clear that what is lacking is now put on the balance table of God, but then it is said that it is over. Those who have money must have enough faith and morals to keep the money, and those who have authority must have the same amount of personality, spirit, and faith as the weight of the authority. If it declines, he or she will lose the money and the authority. It cannot be maintained and perishes. In front of us, 'tekel' is a lesson to know that God weighs me, my country, and my government according to the scales in God's hand.
Third, if that happens, the country, its government, and its society will be divided, divided, and destroyed. If the moral weight, personal trust, or religious health of a society, group, country, or the leader who leads it is not maintained, that society, that country, and that organization will be divided into quadrants. When we see the divisions in our society and the divisions in our churches today, we realize our own responsibility. Today, as we listen to God's words about the end of the Chaldean kingdom and what its cause was, we come to realize that the rise and fall of a person and the rise and fall of a nation and a government are caused by the same cause today.
