Handwriting on the wall

Our country, which was founded upon the understanding of and guidance by divine providence, is without excuse….just as it was in the book of Daniel so might it be with our country…

Let’s see how we respond to the handwriting on the wall ?
1) has the Lord numbered our country and will He put it to and end
2) have we been weighed and found deficient
3) will we be divided and our independence be given over

As we move through this time of turbulence and uncertainty in our country will the pendulum continue to move further out and find us more deficient, will we become more divided ?

Or is it possible that if we stand firm in our faith and recognize that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind and humble ourselves turning from our self exaltation and the praise of the gods of silver and gold that we can stave off the handwriting on the wall ?

Whatever shall prove to be the sovereign move of the hand of God may we all say as the apostle John did ‘the grace of the Lord Jesus be with all” and “come, Lord Jesus, Amen.”…….

Daniel 5:20-31
"But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit became so proud that he behaved arrogantly, he was deposed from his royal throne, and his glory was taken away from him….until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind, and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.
"Yet you, his son, Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart, even though you knew all this, but you have exalted yourself against the Lord of heaven…..and you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of bronze, iron, wood and stone, which do not see, hear or understand. But the God in whose hand are your life-breath and your ways, you have not glorified.
"Then the hand was sent from Him, and this inscription was written out.
"Now this is the inscription that was written out: 'MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.' "This is the interpretation of the message:

'MENE'-- God has numbered your kingdom and put an end to it.

"'TEKEL'-- you have been weighed on the scales and found deficient.

"'PERES'-- your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians."

That same night Belshazzar the Chaldean king was slain. So Darius the Mede received the kingdom at about the age of sixty-two.
