THE 2520NEBUCHADNEZZARSWARNING MESSAGE NUMBER TWO

BELSHAZZARS FALL

In the history of Nebuchadnezzar and

Belshazzar, God speaks to nations of today. Weare to take to heart the lessons he sought to teachthese rebellious kings; for if Belshazzar had

pursued a course in harmony with theinstruction given to his grandfather, he wouldhave retained not only his kingdom but his life.He disregarded the lessons, and went on inrebellion against God, committing the very sinsfor which his grandfather had been reproved and

punished. He, too, lifted himself up in pride andexaltation, and the final judgment of God fellupon him and his house. His great sin was that,notwithstanding God had given him light, herefused to walk in the paths of righteousness.Signs of the Times, July 20, 1891.

THE WARNING MESSAGEDaniel 5:1824

Belshazzar had been given many opportunities

for knowing and doing the will of God. He hadseen his grandfather Nebuchadnezzar banishedfrom the society of men. He had seen the intellectin which the proud monarch gloried taken away

by the One who gave it. He had seen the kingdriven from his kingdom, and made thecompanion of the beasts of the field. ButBelshazzars love of amusement and self-glorification effaced the lessons he should neverhave forgotten; and he committed sins similar tothose that brought signal judgments on

Nebuchadnezzar. He wasted the opportunitiesgraciously granted him, neglecting to use theopportunities within his reach for becomingacquainted with truth. What must I do to besaved? was a question that the great but foolishking passed by indifferently. Bible Echo, April25, 1898.

The schemes of the Babel builders ended inshame and defeat. The monument to their pridebecame the memorial of their folly. Yet men arecontinually pursuing the same coursedepending upon self, and rejecting Gods law. Itis the principle that Satan tried to carry out inheaven; the same that governed Cain in presentinghis offering.

There are tower builders in our time.Infidels construct their theories from the supposeddeductions of sciences, and reject the revealedword of God. They presume to pass sentence uponGods moral government; they despise His lawand boast of the sufficiency of human reason.Then, because sentence against an evil work isnot executed speedily, therefore the heart of thesons of men is fully set in them to do evil.Ecclesiastes 8:11.Patriarchs and Prophets, 118123.

BELSHAZZARS MEMORIAL

Those who are unfaithful to the work of Godare lacking in principle; their motives are not of acharacter to lead them to choose the right under allcircumstances. The servants of God are to feel atall times that they are under the eye of theiremployer. He who watched the sacrilegious feastof Belshazzar is present in all our institutions, inthe counting-room of the merchant, in the privateworkshop; and the bloodless hand is as surelyrecording your neglect as it recorded the awful

judgment of the blasphemous king.Belshazzars condemnation was written in wordsof fire, Thou art weighed in the balances, and artfound wanting; and if you fail to fulfill your God-given obligations your condemnation will be thesame.Messages to Young People, 229.

Daniel 5:14

When the tower had been partially completed,a portion of it was occupied as a dwelling placefor the builders; other apartments, splendidlyfurnished and adorned, were devoted to theiridols. The people rejoiced in their success, andpraised the gods of silver and gold, and set

themselves against the Ruler of heaven and earth.Suddenly the work that had been advancing soprosperously was checked. Angels were sent tobring to naught the purpose of the builders.

1 Corinthians 3:1020

As fire reveals the difference between gold,silver, and precious stones, and wood, hay, andstubble, so the Day of Judgment will testcharacters, showing the difference betweencharacters formed after Christs likeness andcharacters formed after the likeness of the selfishheart. All selfishness, all false religion, will then

appear as it is. The worthless material will beconsumed; but the gold of true, simple, humblefaith will never lose its value. It can never beconsumed; for it is imperishable.

Anyone can be just what he chooses to be.Character is not obtained by receiving aneducation. Character is not obtained by amassingwealth or by gaining worldly honor. Character isnot obtained by having others fight the battle oflife for us. It must be sought, worked for, foughtfor; and it requires a purpose, a will, a

determination. To form a character which Godwill approve, requires persevering effort. It willtake a continual resisting of the powers ofdarkness to stand under the blood-stained bannerof Prince Immanuel, to be approved in the day ofJudgment, and have our names retained in the

book of life. Is it not worth more to have ournames registered in that book, have themimmortalized among the heavenly angels, than tohave them sounded in praise throughout the wholeearth?

In the probationary time granted us here weare each building a structure that is to have theinspection of the Judge of all the earth. This workis the molding of our characters. Every act of ourlives is a stone in that building, every faculty is aworker, every blow that is struck is for good or forevil. The words of inspiration warn us to takeheed how we build, to see that our foundation is

sure. If we build upon the solid rock, pure, noble,upright deeds, the structure will go up beautifuland symmetrical, a fit temple for the indwelling ofthe Holy Spirit.In Heavenly Places, 47.

When the tower had been partially completed,a portion of it was occupied as a dwelling placefor the builders; other apartments, splendidlyfurnished and adorned, were devoted to theiridols. The people rejoiced in their success, andpraised the gods of silver and gold, and setthemselves against the Ruler of heaven andearth. Suddenly the work that had beenadvancing so prosperously was checked.

Patriarchs and Prophets, 120.

RESTRAINT TAKEN AWAYIn that last night of mad folly, Belshazzar and

his lords had filled up the measure of their guiltand the guilt of the Chaldean kingdom. No longercould Gods restraining hand ward off theimpending evil. Through manifold providences,God had sought to teach them reverence for Hislaw. We would have healed Babylon, Hedeclared of those whose judgment was nowreaching unto heaven, but she is not healed.Jeremiah 51:9. Because of the strange perversityof the human heart, God had at last found itnecessary to pass the irrevocable sentence.Belshazzar was to fall, and his kingdom was to

pass into other hands.Prophets and Kings, 530.

There was in the palace a woman who waswiser than them all,the queen of Belshazzarsgrandfather. In this emergency she addressed the

king in language that sent a ray of light into thedarkness. O king, live forever, she said; let notthy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thycountenance be changed: there is a man in thy

kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods;and in the days of thy father light andunderstanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of thegods, was found in him; whom the king

Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thyfather, made master of the magicians,astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers: . . .now let Daniel be called, and he will show the

interpretation.Then was Daniel brought in before the king.Making an effort to brace himself, and to show hisauthority, Belshazzar said: Art thou that Daniel,which art of the children of the captivity of Judah,whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? . ..

Daniel was not awed by the kings appearance,nor confused or intimidated by his words. Let thygifts be to thyself, he answered, and give thyrewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto

the king, and make known to him theinterpretation. . . .

Daniel did not swerve from his duty. He heldthe kings sin before him, showing him the lessonshe might have learned, but did not. Belshazzar hadnot heeded the events so significant to him. Hehad not read his grandfathers history correctly.The responsibility of knowing truth had been laidupon him, but the practical lessons he might havelearned and acted upon had not been taken toheart; and his course of action brought the sureresult.

This was the last feast of boasting held by theChaldean king; for he who bears long with mans

perversity had passed the irrevocable sentence.Belshazzar had greatly dishonored the One whohad exalted him as king, and his probation wastaken from him. While the king and his nobleswere at the height of their revelry, the Persiansturned the Euphrates out of its channel, andmarched into the unguarded city. As Belshazzar

and his lords were drinking from the sacredvessels of Jehovah, and praising their gods ofsilver and gold, Cyrus and his soldiers stood underthe walls of the palace. In that night, the recordsays, was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeansslain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom.

Could the curtain be rolled back before theyouth who have never given their hearts to God,with others who are Christians in name, but whoare unrenewed in heart and unsanctified in temper,they would see that Gods eye is ever upon them,

and they would feel as disturbed as did the king ofBabylon. They would realize that in every place,at every hour in the day, there is a holy Watcher,who balances every account, whose eye takes in

THE FIRSTANDTHE LASTTo the last ruler of Babylon, as in type to its

first, had come the sentence of the divineWatcher: O king, . . . to thee it is spoken; Thekingdom is departed from thee. Daniel 4:31.

Prophets and Kings, 533.

It has been repeatedly revealed to me thatmany professing Christians will, in the time of thefinal test, be greatly disappointed. Many, manywill fail to provide themselves with thatrighteousness of Christ represented in the parable

by the wedding-garment. They have trusted intheir own righteousness, and have not manifestedthe humility of Jesus Christ. They may be seatedat the supper table with others, but Christ will

recognize them, and will say to them, Howcamest thou in hither not having on a wedding-garment?

Unless those who profess to be Christiansbecome sanctified through the truth, and learn toreveal the likeness of Christ in words, in deeds, inspirituality, in their relation to their fellow men,the great day of test and trial will find themunprepared to enter through the golden gates intothe city of God. And unless they can now be madeto feel their great need, they will not have a spiritto seek for the essential righteousness of Christ.

When called before King Belshazzar toexplain the mysterious writing on the wall, Danielreminded the king of matters with which he wasfamiliar, but which had not taught him thelesson of humility that might have saved him.O thou king, said the prophet, the most highGod gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom,and majesty, and glory, and honor: and for themajesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and

languages, trembled and feared before him: whomhe would he slew; and whom he would he keptalive; and whom he would he set up; and whomhe would he put down. But when his heart waslifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he wasdeposed from his kingly throne, and they took hisglory from him: and he was driven from the sonsof men; and his heart was made like the beasts,and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fedhim with grass like oxen, and his body was wetwith the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most

high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that heappointeth over it whomsoever he will.Then the enormity of Belshazzars guilt was

thus emphasized: And thou his son, O

Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, thoughthou knowest all this; but hast lifted up thyselfagainst the Lord of heaven; and they have broughtthe vessels of his house before thee, and thou, andthy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, havedrunk wine in them, and thou hast praised thegods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, andstone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the

God in whose hand thy breath is and whose are allthy ways hast thou not glorified: then was the partof the hand sent from him; and this writing waswritten.

And this is the writing that was written,Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. This is theinterpretation of the thing: Mene, God hathnumbered thy kingdom, and finished it. Tekel;Thou are weighed in the balances, and art foundwanting. Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and

given to the Medes and Persians.The Lord does not suffer wicked practices to

go on without sending reproof and warning.There are men in high places who know of thereproofs, of warnings, of judgment sent, whoknow the example of Gods dealings withothers who have been disobedient, yet whohave not sought to correct their ways beforeGod. They have endeavored rather to make ofnone effect the messages that God has sent.They have continued to exalt themselves, and tocarry out their own ways in defiance of the wordsof God. They have not been ignorant of theright way, but they have allowed their eyes tobe blinded. In pronouncing judgment upon these,God will say, as he said to the wicked king,Thou . . . hast not humbled thine heart, thoughthou knewest all this.

Many have continued in a wicked course ofaction, until the Lord Jesus cannot accept theirservices unless there is a genuine conversion. His

people today have no excuse for turning awayfrom the counsels of his Spirit. In his Word, hehas given us examples that should be warnings tous, yet although we have known all this, many ofGods people have not taken heed to the warningsof God.

Moreover, brethren, I would not that yeshould be ignorant, how that all our fathers wereunder the cloud, and all passed through the sea;and were all baptized unto Moses in the cloud andin the sea; and did all eat the same spiritual meat;

and did all drink the same spiritual drink: for theydrank of that spiritual Rock that followed them:and that Rock was Christ. But with many of themGod was not well pleased: for they were

recunoscut c Dumnezeul cel Preanalt stpnetepeste mpria oamenilor i c o d cui vrea.'

Apoi mrimea vinei lui Bel a ar a fost accentuat: 'Dar tu, Belaar, fiul lui, nu i-aismerit inima, mcar c ai tiut toate acestelucruri. Ci te-ai nlat mpotriva Domnuluicerurilor; vasele din Casa Lui au fost adusenaintea ta i ai but vin cu ele, tu i mai marii ti,

nevestele i iitoarele tale; ai ludat pe dumnezeiide argint, de aur, de aram, de fier, de lemn i depiatr, care nici nu vd, nici n-aud i nici nupricep nimic i n-ai slvit pe Dumnezeul n mnacruia este suflarea ta i toate cile tale! De aceeaa trimis El acest cap de mn care a scris scriereaaceasta.

Iat ns scrierea care a fost scris:Numrat, numrat, cntrit i mprit!i iattlcuirea acestor cuvinte: Numrat nseamn c

Dumnezeu i-a numrat zilele domniei i i-a puscapt. Cntrit nseamn c ai fost cntrit ncumpn i ai fost gsit uor! mprit nseamnc mpria ta va fi mprit i dat mezilor i

perilor!' (Daniel cap.5)Dumnezeu nu permite ca practicile

nelegiuite s mearg nainte fr a trimite mustrrii avertizri. Exist brba i n pozi ii nalte care tiu despre aceste mustrri, despre avertizri i

despre judec ile trimise, care cunosc felul n care a procedat Dumnezeu cu al ii care au fost neasculttori, dar care totu i nu au cutat s- i

overthrown in the wilderness.Now these things were our examples, to the

intent we should not lust after evil things, as theyalso lusted. Neither be ye idolaters, as were someof them; as it is written, The people sat down toeat and drink, and rose up to play. Neither let uscommit fornication, as some of them committed,and fell in one day three and twenty thousand.

Neither let us tempt Christ, as some of them alsotempted, and were destroyed of serpents. Neithermurmur ye, as some of them also murmured, andwere destroyed of the destroyer.

Now all these things happened unto them forensamples: and they are written for ouradmonition, upon whom the ends of the world arecome. Wherefore let him that thinketh he standethtake heed lest he fall.

Among the many discordant elements, somehave been unable to discern the voice of God in

the messages of warning and reproof that havebeen sent for the guidance of the church.

Men who have refused to walk in the plaincounsel of the Lord, are not the ones whoshould be entrusted with the care of his sheepand lambs. Those who, while professing tobelieve the truth, resist the Holy Spirit, makinglight of the message from heaven, will surely bepunished for their transgressions. They will notin the future have greater evidence of the truthof these messages than has been given in thepast. The Lord forbids that they should beentrusted with responsibilities that they mighthave borne, had they heeded the messages thatthe Lord in mercy sent them. Review and

Herald, September 24, 1908.

Moise; toi au mncat aceiai mncareduhovniceasc, i toi au but aceia i butur duhovniceasc, pentru c beau dintr-o stncduhovniceasc ce venea dup ei; i stnca eraHristos. Totu cei mai muli dintre ei, n-au fost

plcui lui Dumnezeu, cci au pierit n pustie.i aceste lucruri s-au ntmplat ca s ne

slujeasc nou drept pilde, pentru ca s nu poftim

dup lucruri rele, cum au poftit ei. S nu fiinchintori la idoli, ca unii dintre ei, dup cumeste scris: ,,Poporul a ezut s mnnce i s bea;i s-au sculat s joace. S nu curvim, cum aufcut unii din ei, aa c ntr -o singur zi au czutdouzeci i trei de mii. S nu ispitim pe Domnul,cum L-au ispitit unii din ei, cari au pierit prinerpi. S nu crtii, cum au crtit unii din ei, cariau fost nimicii de Nimicitorul.

Aceste lucruri li s-au ntmplat ca s neslujeasc drept pilde, i au fost scrise pentru

nvtura noastr, peste cari au venit sfriturileveacurilor. Astfel dar, cine crede c st n picioare,s ia seama s nu cad. (1 Cor. 10:1-12)

Printre multe elemente discordante, unii aufost incapabili s discearn vocea lui Dumnezeu nsoliile de avertizare i mustrare care au fost trimise pentru cluzirea bisericii.

Oamenilor care au refuzat s umble nconformitate sfaturile clare ale Domnului, nusunt cei crora ar trebui s li se ncredin eze grija pentru oile i mieii Si. Aceia care, n timp ce declar a crede adevrul, se mpotrivescDuhului Sfnt, dispre uind solia din cer, vor fi cu siguran pedepsi i pentru nelegiuirile lor. Ei nu vor primii n viitor dovezi mai marilegate de adevrul acestor solii dect le-au fostoferite n trecut. Domnul nu permite ca s fiepu i n pozi iile de rspundere n care ar fi putut fi pu i dac ar fi luat aminte la soliile pe care Domnul, n mila Sa, le-a trimis.Reviewand Herald, September 24, 1908.
