| Daniel 5:5-8 — The Miraculous Writing
Up until this point the dazzling magnificence of the royal banquet had been almost indescribable. Luxurious tapestries probably hung upon the walls. The guests arrived in gorgeous apparel. There were sparkling wines and costly foods, soft lights and sweet music. It all combined to make a pageant to delight the eyes and hearts of the people.
Suddenly, in the midst of the drunken orgy, God directly intervened. He did not speak by dream or vision. The fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote a message on the wall! The effect upon the king was radical—“His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his knees knocked together and his legs gave way” (Daniel 5:6).
Although Belshazzar promised great rewards to whoever could interpret the message, none of his wise men—enchanters, astrologers and diviners—could tell him what it meant.
