◎ Introduction
: King Belshazzar, who was discouraged, hears the queen's recommendation for Daniel and immediately summons Daniel.
1. Called Daniel (13~16)
2. Refusing the king's reward (17)
1. Called Daniel (13~16)
One). This is the background to which Daniel was called. (1-12)
※ Belshazzar, the son of Nebuchadnezzar's son-in-law, ignored God's warnings several times, acted arrogantly, and deliberately
He even rebelled against God.
※ In other words, Belshazzar held a great feast and called many people to show off himself, drinking wine in the name of the temple and praising idols.
* This is the name of the temple that Nebuchadnezzar stole from the temple in Jerusalem.
※ Just then, a human hand appeared and wrote on the wall of the palace. (5-6)
* Everyone was afraid because of this.
※ None of the Babylonians could interpret this letter, which drove the king and all his princes into fear. (7~9)
※ Daniel is recommended as an interpreter and is finally called (10-12)
※ The writing on the wall of the royal palace by Daniel is interpreted. (18-28)
① Daniel brought to the palace to interpret the revelation (13-16)
② Before interpreting, I will reject the king's reward and speak only the truth. (17)
③ The content is the destruction of the empire Babylon.
④ Contents of destruction (5:1~31)
2). Daniel called to interpret revelation (13-16)
※ If you interpret this writing on the wall of the kingdom, it says that you will be clothed often, and a gold chain will be hung around your neck, and you will make the third place in the kingdom.
① Daniel’s status, that is, his father, was mentioned as a captive taken from Judah. (13)
* Although the king was in such a dire situation that he had to call Daniel, the intention was to show his superiority as the king of the conquered country.
② Hear about Daniel's ability and say that he knows it well. (14)
* Because you have the spirits of the gods in you, it is said that you have understanding, understanding, and extraordinary wisdom. It is an euphemistic command.
③ It was revealed that the efforts so far could not solve this problem. (15)
* The fact that Babylon's wise men and magicians did not show the interpretation suggests that it is not a common occurrence.
④ The king applied the contents of the reward presented to the wise men of Babylon to Daniel. (16)
* Give me the interpretation: I will clothe you often, and put gold chains around my neck, and I will make you the third ruler of the kingdom.
* The king was trying to interpret the text somehow.
2. Refusing the king's reward (17)
※ Before interpreting the written text, Daniel euphemistically rejects the reward offered by the king.
One). Of the king's gift and the king's reward
※ Rejecting the reward does not mean that you cannot accept the reward, but rather that you will only tell the truth regardless of the reward.
2). “Even so~” For the king
※ Interpreting the characters is one's duty, so regardless of what kind of price is paid for it, it means that we will speak as God tells us to do.
※ Daniel shows that he knows what he must do as a prophet who conveys God's will to the world.
