The Handwriting on the Wall
They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. Dan. 5:4
They drank wine... In drinking, the people honored the gods of Babylon — idols made of gold… silver… bronze, iron, wood, and stone.
and praised the...These atheists had no idea what they were doing. The silver and the gold vessels were holy, and dedicated to God alone. To drink from these vessels, would be a terrible sin before God.
This is such a terrible thing to do, that judgment will be swift. Look, with me, at the following New Testament Scripture about the same thing.
1 Thessalonians 5:3 "For when they shall say, Peace and safety; then sudden destruction cometh upon them, as travail upon a woman with child; and they shall not escape."
God will not overlook this act of disrespect for His holy things. They have sealed their own fate, by this terrible thing they have done.
