Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 5:25

Daniel 5:1 , Daniel 5:6 , Daniel 5:25 , Daniel 5:28-30 The case of Belshazzar may be fairly assumed as a case of clear and powerful conviction of sin which did not result in the soul's salvation. There is a class of men who suffer for years under hopeless and fruitless convictions of sin. There are certain truths which one who is living in the state of mind here described needs especially to consider: I.

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Daniel 5:5-6

DISCOURSE: 1126BELSHAZZAR WARNED OF HIS IMPENDING RUINDaniel 5:5-6. 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: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.IN former days, God was pleased to reveal his mind and will to men by dreams,... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Daniel 5:22

DISCOURSE: 1127IMPENITENCE REPROVEDDaniel 5:22. And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this.AMONGST the endowments of a pious minister, two of the most important are, disinterestedness and fidelity. A man who is “looking to his own gain,” or is afraid to “declare the whole counsel of God,” is unworthy of the sacred office: nor can he hope to be either profitable to man, or accepted of God. The example of the Prophet Daniel is worthy of universal... read more

The God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.WHEN we look around us, and see what iniquity prevails in the earth, we are ready to imagine that God does not notice the affairs of men, or take any interest in their conduct. But, when we open the inspired volume, we find that, on many occasions, the sins of men have been so strongly marked in their punishment, as to bear ample testimony to... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Daniel 5:27

DISCOURSE: 1129SCRIPTURE BALANCESDaniel 5:27. Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.THE words before us were uttered in reference to a single individual, Belshazzar, king of Babylon, whose open acts most fully attested the truth of the allegation contained in them. But God discerns the heart, and weighs every man in his unerring balance; and, though he do not now declare the result of his examination, as he then did, by a written testimony that shall be seen of men, he records... read more

Charles Simeon's Horae Homileticae - Daniel 5:30

DISCOURSE: 1130BELSHAZZAR’S DEATHDaniel 5:30. In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.“KNOWN unto God are all his works from the beginning of the world.” We speak of things as fortuitous and contingent, because we see not the hand by which they are directed; but, in reality, there is nothing contingent, not even the falling of a sparrow: “the very hairs of our head are all numbered.” Sometimes it has pleased God to make known, beforehand, events, which depended entirely... read more
