The Party is Over (5 of 10)

Daniel 5
Open your bibles with me tonight to Daniel chapter five, and if you are a guest tonight we've been going through the book of Daniel here on Sunday night. We've made our way to Daniel chapter five tonight, one of the more interesting and really, one of the more thought provoking and shocking stories in all of the book of Daniel.
This is a narrative. Daniel wrote Daniel chapter five himself based upon his own recollection of the account. This is not like last time where he's having to share with what he'd been told, but he wrote Daniel chapter five really, after looking back and thinking through what happened on that night. Somewhere around 539 BC. And so, since it is a narrative, it's a story, we're just going to begin to work our way down through it tonight, and then we'll see where it turns down around verse number 22. So, if you've got your bible open there to Daniel, chapter five, say amen. Let me give you the background. Tonight's message is called The Party's Over. Remember Payne Stuart? When Payne Stuart died, remember his wife was there at the funeral and there at the end she said, ''Let the party begin.''
Well, that's what a lot of people think today, is that once you die the party starts, or life's all the party and what you're going to find for Belshazzar is that, as a result of this party, his party was over. Daniel chapter five, beginning in verse one. You're about 32 years from the end of chapter four. About 32 years have lapsed since Nebuchanezzer's second dream and you have this guy here by the name of Belshazzar. Belshazzar the king there in verse number one. Belshazzar's name literally means God or BEL. ''BEL will protect me.'' That's very important as we begin to work our way down through these verses tonight.
He wasn't literally the son of Nebuchadrezzar. He was actually the son of a guy by the name of Nabonidus. Nabonidus served as ...
