DANIEL COMES OUT OF RETIREMENT


DANIEL 5

Pastor Rick Jackson

 

I. BELSHAZZAR SHOWS OFF [v. 1-12]

 

1. His Insanity [v. 1-4]

2. His Inability [v. 5-8, 1 Corinthians 2:14]

But the natural man receiveth not the things of the Spirit of God: for they are foolishness unto him: neither can he know them, because they are spiritually discerned.

3. His Insecurity [v. 9-12] v. 11 “father” = grandfather as in 2 Samuel 9:7, note the prophecy of Jer. 27:6-7 [history records Nabonidus was the natural, or paternal father of Belshazzar]

 

II. DANIEL “SCHOOLS” BELSHAZZAR [v. 13-28]

 

1. On the Pricelessness of Truth [v. 13-17]

2. On the Foolishness of Pride [v. 18-23]

3.  On the Sovereignty of God [v. 23-28]

 

III. THAT WHICH LASTS

 

1. Daniel’s Unwanted Reward [v. 29]

2. Belshazzar’s Unwanted Reward [v. 29]

3. Daniel’s Unique Opportunity [v. 31-6:3]
