Daniel Lesson 20: A Bankrupt Banquet
In Daniel chapter 25, which is the record of events that took place 25 years after King Nebuchadnezzar's public testimony to the greatness of the Most High God (see 4:2, 37), we meet Nebuchadnezzar's grandson, Belshazzar. He turned out to be the final king of the ancient Babylonian Empire. He was a degenerate, drunken fool, who learned nothing from the experience of his grandfather. He brazenly desecrated the Temple vessels of God in drunken toasts made to his false "gods" with all his young and equally foolish and immoral peers. It marked the end of him and the end of the Babylonian Empire. Everything ended abruptly in one night, just as Mystery Babylon the Great and the king of the final Gentile world empire will come crashing down in one day (Revelation 14:8; 18:8).
