The Handwriting on the Wall (5 of 8)
Series: Our God Reigns
Jonathan McLeod
Daniel 5:1-31
''This is the interpretation of the matter: Mene, God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; Tekel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting; Peres, your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians'' (vv. 26-28).
THE HANDWRITING IS ON THE WALL
Did you know that there are about 250 phrases in the King James Bible that are used today in the English language. ''No other book, or indeed any piece of culture, seems to have influence the English language as much as the King James Bible. Its turns of phrase have permeated the everyday language of English speakers, whether or not they've ever opened a copy.''
1. ''By the skin of your teeth'' (''I am escaped with the skin of my teeth,'' Job 19:20 KJV)
2. ''Drop in a bucket'' (''the nations are as a drop of a bucket,'' Isa. 40:15 KJV)
3. ''Go the extra mile'' (''whosoever shall compel thee to go a mile, go with him twain,'' Matt. 5:41 KJV)
4. ''How the mighty have fallen'' (''how are the mighty fallen,'' 2 Sam. 1:19 KJV)
5. ''Wit's end'' (''They reel to and fro, and stagger like a drunken man, and are at their wit's end,'' Ps. 107:27 KJV)
6. ''Sour grapes'' (''The fathers have eaten a sour grape, and the children's teeth are set on edge,'' Jer. 31:29 KJV)
7. ''Feet of clay'' (''his feet part of iron and part of clay,'' Dan. 2:33 KJV)
8. ''The handwriting is on the wall'' (''In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace,'' (Dan. 5:5 KJV)
When we say, ''The handwriting is on the wall,'' we mean that it looks like something bad is about to happen. [Give an example.] In Daniel 5, the handwriting on the wall foretold that something bad would happen to a man filled with pride. His name was Belshazzar.
[Read Daniel 5:1-6, 17-31.]
