Daniel Interprets the Handwriting
But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him: Dan. 5:20
when his heart... Pride always goes before destruction and a haughty spirit before a fall (Job. 33:14-29; Pro. 16:18).
he was deposed... Again see Dan. 4:19-37 for this story we just studied. When he went further than God had wanted him to, he was removed as king. Pride comes before a fall. This is what Jesus had to say about those who exalt themselves.
Luke 18:14 "I tell you, this man went down to his house justified [rather] than the other: for every one that exalteth himself shall be abased; and he that humbleth himself shall be exalted."
