Belshazzar’s fear of the mysterious handwriting addresses not only his death and the end of the sixth kingdom of Bible prophecy, but also the point in prophetic history when fear takes hold of the kings of the earth. Their fear is produced by the “east wind” of Islam. Their fear is as a woman in travail, thus identifying a progressively increasing pain, which comes with more and more rapidity. The fear begins at the “hour” of Belshazzar’s feast, though it initially arrived on September 11, 2001. From then onward the winds begin to slip through the hands of the four angels who are holding them during the sealing time of the one hundred and forty-four thousand. The lamentation for Tyrus that Ezekiel identifies, defines Tyrus by asking the prophetic question, “What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea?”

Belshazzar ni ke fear uba mih ïa ka jingthoh kaba phylla ym tang ba ka kren shaphang ka jingïap jong u bad ka jingïkut jong ka hima kaba hynriew ha ka jingïathuhlypa jong ka Baibl, hynrei ruh shaphang kata ka por ha ka histori jingïathuhlypa haba ka fear ka bat ïa ki syiem ka pyrthei. Ka fear jong ki la pynmih da ka “lyer mihngi” jong ka Islam. Ka fear jong ki ka long kum ka kynthei kaba pang kha khun, kumta ka pynithuh ïa ka jingpang kaba nang kham jur katba nang mih shaphrang, kaba wan ryngkat bad ka jingsted kaba nang kham bun. Ka fear ka sdang ha kata ka “hora” jong ka jingkhawai Belshazzar, watla ka la wan nyngkong ha ka 11 tarik u September, 2001. Naduh kata ka por shakhmat ki lyer ki sdang ban slipt noh na ki kti jong ki saw angel kiba bat ïa ki ha ka por ka jingsealed ïa ka spah sawphew saw hajar. Ka jingiam kyrhaï na ka bynta ka Tyrus kaba u Ezekiel u kdew ka batai ïa ka Tyrus da kaba kylli ïa ka jingïathuhlypa, “Kaei kata ka nongbah kaba kum ka Tyrus, kum ka destroyed hapdeng ka duriaw?”

> The ships of Tarshish did sing of thee in thy market: and thou wast replenished, and made very glorious in the midst of the seas. Thy rowers have brought thee into great waters: the east wind hath broken thee in the midst of the seas. Thy riches, and thy fairs, thy merchandise, thy mariners, and thy pilots, thy calkers, and the occupiers of thy merchandise, and all thy men of war, that are in thee, and in all thy company which is in the midst of thee, shall fall into the midst of the seas in the day of thy ruin. The suburbs shall shake at the sound of the cry of thy pilots. And all that handle the oar, the mariners, and all the pilots of the sea, shall come down from their ships, they shall stand upon the land; And shall cause their voice to be heard against thee, and shall cry bitterly, and shall cast up dust upon their heads, they shall wallow themselves in the ashes: And they shall make themselves utterly bald for thee, and gird them with sackcloth, and they shall weep for thee with bitterness of heart and bitter wailing. And in their wailing they shall take up a lamentation for thee, and lament over thee, saying, What city is like Tyrus, like the destroyed in the midst of the sea? When thy wares went forth out of the seas, thou filledst many people; thou didst enrich the kings of the earth with the multitude of thy riches and of thy merchandise. In the time when thou shalt be broken by the seas in the depths of the waters thy merchandise and all thy company in the midst of thee shall fall. All the inhabitants of the isles shall be astonished at thee, and their kings shall be sore afraid, they shall be troubled in their countenance. The merchants among the people shall hiss at thee; thou shalt be a terror, and never shalt be any more. Ezekiel 27:25–36.

> Kapal-kapal Tarsis menyanyikan tentang engkau di pasar-pasarmu; dan engkau penuh kemewahan serta menjadi amat mulia di tengah-tengah lautan. Para pendayungmu telah membawa engkau ke perairan yang luas; angin timur telah meremukkan engkau di tengah-tengah lautan. Kekayaanmu, barang-barang daganganmu, perniagaanmu, para pelautmu dan nakhodamu, para penambal kapalmu, para pedagang barang daganganmu, dan semua prajuritmu yang ada padamu, beserta seluruh kumpulanmu yang ada di tengah-tengahmu, akan jatuh ke tengah-tengah lautan pada hari kebinasaanmu. Tanah-tanah pinggiran akan gemetar oleh bunyi teriakan para nakhodamu. Dan semua yang memegang dayung, para pelaut, dan semua nakhoda laut, akan turun dari kapal-kapal mereka, mereka akan berdiri di darat; dan akan memperdengarkan suara mereka terhadap engkau, dan akan menangis dengan pahit, dan akan menaruh debu di atas kepala mereka, mereka akan berguling-guling di dalam abu; dan mereka akan menggunduli diri mereka sama sekali karena engkau, dan mengenakan kain kabung, dan mereka akan menangisi engkau dengan kepedihan hati dan ratapan yang pahit. Dan dalam ratapan mereka, mereka akan mengangkat suatu perkabungan bagimu, dan meratapi engkau, dengan berkata, Kota manakah seperti Tirus, seperti dia yang dibinasakan di tengah-tengah laut? Ketika barang-barangmu keluar dari lautan, engkau memuaskan banyak bangsa; engkau memperkaya raja-raja bumi dengan limpahnya kekayaanmu dan perniagaanmu. Pada waktu engkau dihancurkan oleh lautan di kedalaman air, barang daganganmu dan seluruh kumpulanmu yang ada di tengah-tengahmu akan jatuh. Semua penduduk pulau-pulau akan tercengang karena engkau, dan raja-raja mereka akan sangat ketakutan, wajah mereka akan berubah karena kegentaran. Para pedagang di antara bangsa-bangsa akan mendesis terhadap engkau; engkau akan menjadi suatu kengerian, dan tidak akan ada lagi untuk selama-lamanya. Yehezkiel 27:25–36.

Tyrus is the city, or kingdom that the merchants of the earth cry bitterly over, and then ask, “what city is like Tyrus?” They do so in the “time,” when the city is broken in the sea. In Revelation chapter eighteen, the whore of Tyre, who is the whore of Rome, who has committed fornication with the kings of the earth and is identified as that great city whose judgment comes in one hour, and in one day. She is the city that raises the prophetic question from the wailing kings and merchants.

Tyrus ke motse, kgotsa bogosi jo bagwebi ba lefatshe ba bo lelelang ka botlhoko, mme ba bo ba botsa ba re, “ke motse ofe o o tshwanang le Tyrus?” Ba dira jalo mo “nakong” e motse o thubegang mo lewatleng.

> Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her. And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning, Standing afar off for the fear of her torment, saying, Alas, alas that great city Babylon, that mighty city! for in one hour is thy judgment come. And the merchants of the earth shall weep and mourn over her; for no man buyeth their merchandise any more: The merchandise of gold, and silver, and precious stones, and of pearls, and fine linen, and purple, and silk, and scarlet, and all thyine wood, and all manner vessels of ivory, and all manner vessels of most precious wood, and of brass, and iron, and marble, And cinnamon, and odours, and ointments, and frankincense, and wine, and oil, and fine flour, and wheat, and beasts, and sheep, and horses, and chariots, and slaves, and souls of men. And the fruits that thy soul lusted after are departed from thee, and all things which were dainty and goodly are departed from thee, and thou shalt find them no more at all. The merchants of these things, which were made rich by her, shall stand afar off for the fear of her torment, weeping and wailing, And saying, Alas, alas, that great city, that was clothed in fine linen, and purple, and scarlet, and decked with gold, and precious stones, and pearls! For in one hour so great riches is come to nought. And every shipmaster, and all the company in ships, and sailors, and as many as trade by sea, stood afar off, And cried when they saw the smoke of her burning, saying, What city is like unto this great city! And they cast dust on their heads, and cried, weeping and wailing, saying, Alas, alas, that great city, wherein were made rich all that had ships in the sea by reason of her costliness! for in one hour is she made desolate. Revelation 18:8–19.

> అందుచేత ఆమెకు కలుగు శిక్షలు ఒకే దినమందు వచ్చును—మరణమును, దుఃఖమును, క్షామమును; ఆమె అగ్నితో పూర్తిగా దహింపబడును; ఏలయనగా ఆమెకు తీర్పు తీర్చువాడు ప్రభువైన దేవుడు బలవంతుడు. మరియు భూమి రాజులు, ఆమెతో వ్యభిచరించి వైభవముగా జీవించిన వారు, ఆమె దహనపు పొగను చూచినప్పుడు ఆమెనిమిత్తము విలపించి, శోకించెదరు. ఆమె యాతనకు భయపడి దూరముగా నిలిచి, “అయ్యో, అయ్యో, ఆ మహానగరమైన బబులోను, ఆ బలమైన నగరము! ఒక గంటలోనే నీ తీర్పు వచ్చెను” అని చెప్పెదరు. మరియు భూమి వ్యాపారులు ఆమెనిమిత్తము ఏడ్చి దుఃఖించెదరు; ఏలయనగా ఇకపై ఎవడును వారి సరుకులను కొనడు. బంగారముయొక్కను, వెండియొక్కను, మాణిక్యములయొక్కను, ముత్యములయొక్కను, సన్నని వస్త్రముయొక్కను, ఊదా వస్త్రముయొక్కను, పట్టుయొక్కను, కాషాయవర్ణ వస్త్రముయొక్కను, ప్రతి విధమైన సుగంధ కట్టెయొక్కను, ప్రతి విధమైన దంతపాత్రలయొక్కను, అత్యంత విలువైన కట్టెలతోను, ఇత్తడితోను, ఇనుముతోను, సుడిగలరాయితోను చేయబడిన ప్రతి విధమైన పాత్రలయొక్కను; దాల్చినచెక్కయొక్కను, సుగంధ ద్రవ్యములయొక్కను, లేపనములయొక్కను, ధూపముయొక్కను, ద్రాక్షారసముయొక్కను, నూనెయొక్కను, సన్నని పిండియొక్కను, గోధుమలయొక్కను, పశువులయొక్కను, గొర్రెలయొక్కను, గుర్రములయొక్కను, రథములయొక్కను, దాసులయొక్కను, మనుష్యుల ప్రాణములయొక్కను. నీ ప్రాణము ఆశించిన ఫలములు నిన్ను విడిచి పోయినవి; రుచికరముగాను శోభాయమానముగాను ఉన్న సమస్తమును నీవు కోల్పోయితివి; వాటిని ఇకముందు ఎన్నడును కనుగొనవు. ఈ వస్తువుల వ్యాపారులు, ఆమెవలన ధనవంతులైన వారు, ఆమె యాతనకు భయపడి దూరముగా నిలిచి, ఏడ్చుచు విలపించుచు, “అయ్యో, అయ్యో, సన్నని వస్త్రమును, ఊదా వస్త్రమును, కాషాయవర్ణ వస్త్రమును ధరించి, బంగారముతోను, మాణిక్యములతోను, ముత్యములతోను అలంకరింపబడిన ఆ మహానగరము! ఒకే గంటలో ఇంతటి ఐశ్వర్యము శూన్యమైపోయెను” అని చెప్పెదరు. మరియు ప్రతి నావాధిపతియు, నౌకలలో ప్రయాణించువారందరును, నావికులును, సముద్రముమీద వ్యాపారము చేయువారందరును దూరముగా నిలిచి, ఆమె దహనపు పొగను చూచి, “ఈ మహానగరమువంటి నగరము ఏది?” అని కేకలు వేయుదురు. వారు తమ తలలమీద ధూళి వేసికొని, ఏడ్చుచు విలపించుచు, “అయ్యో, అయ్యో, సముద్రమందు నౌకలు కలిగిన వారందరును ఆమె మహా విలాసమువలన ధనవంతులైన ఆ మహానగరము! ఒకే గంటలో అది పాడైపోయెను” అని చెప్పుదురు. ప్రకటన 18:8–19.

The unsealing of the Revelation of Jesus Christ includes the message of the Midnight Cry. That message is the second prophecy of Ezekiel thirty-seven that brings the dead dry bones that have laid in the streets for three and a half days to life as a mighty army. That message is the message that includes the truth that it is Islam that the Lord employs to bring executive judgment upon the United States for Sunday enforcement. That judgment arrives in the “hour” of the great earthquake, which is also the “hour” that the handwriting came upon Belshazzar’s wall. The handwriting produced the fear, that is represented as taking hold of all the kings and merchants when the economic structure of planet earth is taken down by the “east wind” of Islam, who have secretly slipped into Belshazzar’s kingdom, through the neglected lower “wall” to the south.

The “city” or kingdom that the kings and merchants lament of and ask, “what city is like unto this great city” is the kingdom of the whore of Tyre, who is then singing her songs and committing fornication with those very kings. All the prophets speak of the end of the world and they agree with one another, so Ezekiel’s merchants are the same merchants in Revelation chapter eighteen. Three times in Revelation chapter eighteen they lament “alas, alas,” as the great city and the financial structure of planet earth is taken down. The Greek word translated as “alas,” in the passage, is the very same word that is translated three times in Revelation chapter eight, and verse thirteen, which is there translated with a different English word.

“Bandar” atau kerajaan yang diratapi oleh raja-raja dan para pedagang, lalu mereka bertanya, “bandar manakah yang seperti bandar besar ini,” ialah kerajaan perempuan sundal Tirus, yang pada waktu itu sedang menyanyikan nyanyiannya dan melakukan percabulan dengan raja-raja yang sama itu. Semua nabi berbicara tentang akhir dunia dan mereka saling sependapat, maka para pedagang dalam Yehezkiel ialah para pedagang yang sama dalam Wahyu pasal delapan belas. Tiga kali dalam Wahyu pasal delapan belas mereka meratap, “aduh, aduh,” ketika bandar besar itu dan struktur kewangan seluruh bumi dijatuhkan. Perkataan Yunani yang diterjemahkan sebagai “aduh” dalam petikan itu ialah perkataan yang sama tepatnya yang diterjemahkan tiga kali dalam Wahyu pasal lapan, ayat tiga belas, yang di sana diterjemahkan dengan perkataan Inggeris yang berlainan.

> And I beheld, and heard an angel flying through the midst of heaven, saying with a loud voice, Woe, woe, woe, to the inhabiters of the earth by reason of the other voices of the trumpet of the three angels, which are yet to sound! Revelation 8:13.

> “Aku melihat dan mendengar seorang malaikat terbang di tengah langit, dan ia berseru dengan suara nyaring: Celaka, celaka, celaka bagi mereka yang mendiami bumi, oleh karena bunyi sangkakala yang lain dari ketiga malaikat yang masih akan meniup sangkakala mereka!” Wahyu 8:13.

The kings and merchants are lamenting the destruction of the world’s economy with the words, “alas, alas,” meaning “woe, woe,” and the “Woe” is a symbol of Islam. The fear that takes hold of Belshazzar and his lords when the handwriting appears on the wall, is the fear produced when the economic structure of planet earth is destroyed by ongoing attacks from Islam, which God employs as His providential tool to bring about His executive judgment upon those who drink the wine of Babylon, that is Sunday enforcement. This truth is the theme of the Isaiah twenty-three “burden” of the whore of “Tyre.”

Raja-raja dan para saudagar sedang meratapi kehancuran ekonomi dunia dengan kata-kata, “aduh, aduh,” yang berarti “celaka, celaka,” dan “Celaka” itu adalah lambang Islam. Ketakutan yang mencengkeram Belsyazar dan para pembesarnya ketika tulisan itu tampak pada dinding, adalah ketakutan yang ditimbulkan ketika struktur ekonomi planet bumi dihancurkan oleh serangan-serangan Islam yang berkelanjutan, yang Allah gunakan sebagai alat pemeliharaan-Nya untuk mendatangkan penghakiman eksekutif-Nya atas mereka yang meminum anggur Babel, yaitu penegakan hari Minggu. Kebenaran ini adalah tema dari “beban” Yesaya dua puluh tiga mengenai pelacur “Tirus.”

> The burden of Tyre. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish; for it is laid waste, so that there is no house, no entering in: from the land of Chittim it is revealed to them. Be still, ye inhabitants of the isle; thou whom the merchants of Zidon, that pass over the sea, have replenished. And by great waters the seed of Sihor, the harvest of the river, is her revenue; and she is a mart of nations. Be thou ashamed, O Zidon: for the sea hath spoken, even the strength of the sea, saying, I travail not, nor bring forth children, neither do I nourish up young men, nor bring up virgins. As at the report concerning Egypt, so shall they be sorely pained at the report of Tyre. Pass ye over to Tarshish; howl, ye inhabitants of the isle. Is this your joyous city, whose antiquity is of ancient days? her own feet shall carry her afar off to sojourn. Who hath taken this counsel against Tyre, the crowning city, whose merchants are princes, whose traffickers are the honourable of the earth? The Lord of hosts hath purposed it, to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth. Pass through thy land as a river, O daughter of Tarshish: there is no more strength. He stretched out his hand over the sea, he shook the kingdoms: the Lord hath given a commandment against the merchant city, to destroy the strong holds thereof. And he said, Thou shalt no more rejoice, O thou oppressed virgin, daughter of Zidon: arise, pass over to Chittim; there also shalt thou have no rest. Behold the land of the Chaldeans; this people was not, till the Assyrian founded it for them that dwell in the wilderness: they set up the towers thereof, they raised up the palaces thereof; and he brought it to ruin. Howl, ye ships of Tarshish: for your strength is laid waste. And it shall come to pass in that day, that Tyre shall be forgotten seventy years, according to the days of one king: after the end of seventy years shall Tyre sing as an harlot. Take an harp, go about the city, thou harlot that hast been forgotten; make sweet melody, sing many songs, that thou mayest be remembered. And it shall come to pass after the end of seventy years, that the Lord will visit Tyre, and she shall turn to her hire, and shall commit fornication with all the kingdoms of the world upon the face of the earth. And her merchandise and her hire shall be holiness to the Lord: it shall not be treasured nor laid up; for her merchandise shall be for them that dwell before the Lord, to eat sufficiently, and for durable clothing. Isaiah 23:1–18.

> Beban Tirus. Merataplah, hai kapal-kapal Tarsis; kerana ia telah dibinasakan, sehingga tiada rumah, tiada tempat untuk masuk; dari negeri Kitim hal itu dinyatakan kepada mereka. Diamlah, hai penduduk pulau; engkau yang telah dipenuhi oleh para saudagar Sidon, yang menyeberangi laut. Dan melalui perairan yang besar, benih Sihor, hasil tuaian sungai, menjadi pendapatannya; dan ia menjadi pasar bagi bangsa-bangsa. Malulah engkau, hai Sidon; kerana laut telah berfirman, bahkan kekuatan laut itu berkata, Aku tidak sakit bersalin, dan tidak melahirkan anak-anak, juga tidak membesarkan pemuda-pemuda, mahupun memelihara anak-anak dara. Seperti pada khabar tentang Mesir, demikianlah mereka akan sangat berdukacita pada khabar tentang Tirus. Menyeberanglah ke Tarsis; merataplah, hai penduduk pulau. Inikah kotamu yang bersukacita, yang purbakalanya sejak zaman purba? Kakinya sendiri akan membawanya pergi jauh untuk tinggal sebagai orang asing. Siapakah yang telah merancang keputusan ini terhadap Tirus, kota yang memahkotai, yang para saudagarnya ialah pembesar-pembesar, yang para pedagangnya ialah orang-orang terhormat di bumi? Tuhan semesta alam telah menetapkannya, untuk menajiskan kesombongan segala kemuliaan, dan untuk menghina semua orang yang terhormat di bumi. Melimpahlah melalui negerimu seperti sungai, hai puteri Tarsis; tiada lagi kekuatan. Ia menghulurkan tangan-Nya ke atas laut, Ia menggoncangkan kerajaan-kerajaan; Tuhan telah memberi perintah terhadap kota perdagangan itu, untuk memusnahkan kubu-kubunya. Dan Ia berfirman, Engkau tidak akan lagi bersukacita, hai anak dara yang tertindas, puteri Sidon; bangkitlah, menyeberanglah ke Kitim; di sana juga engkau tidak akan mendapat perhentian. Lihatlah negeri orang Kasdim; bangsa ini dahulu tidak ada, sehingga Asyur mengasaskannya bagi mereka yang tinggal di padang belantara; mereka mendirikan menara-menara kota itu, mereka membangunkan istana-istananya; dan ia membawanya kepada kehancuran. Merataplah, hai kapal-kapal Tarsis; kerana bentengmu telah dibinasakan. Dan akan terjadi pada hari itu, bahawa Tirus akan dilupakan selama tujuh puluh tahun, menurut zaman seorang raja; sesudah berakhir tujuh puluh tahun itu, Tirus akan bernyanyi seperti seorang pelacur. Ambillah kecapi, kelilingilah kota, hai pelacur yang telah dilupakan; petiklah dengan merdu, nyanyikanlah banyak lagu, supaya engkau diingat. Dan akan terjadi sesudah berakhir tujuh puluh tahun itu, bahawa Tuhan akan melawat Tirus, dan ia akan kembali kepada upahnya, dan akan berzina dengan segala kerajaan dunia di atas muka bumi. Dan perdagangannya serta upahnya akan menjadi kekudusan bagi Tuhan: itu tidak akan disimpan atau ditimbun; kerana perdagangannya akan menjadi bagi mereka yang diam di hadapan Tuhan, untuk makan dengan secukupnya, dan untuk pakaian yang tahan lama. Yesaya 23:1–18.

The seventy years, which is as “the days of one king”, is represented by the kingdom of Babylon, for a king is a kingdom, and literal Babylon reigned for seventy years. The seventy years of literal Babylon ended in the “hour” the handwriting appeared upon the walls of Belshazzar’s banquet hall. That very night he was slain, by the power that came through the “wall” unnoticed, for he was having a party drinking the wine of Babylon, while Nebuchadnezzar’s orchestra was playing the music, and the whore of Tyre sang the sweet melody, and apostate Israel danced and bowed.

ឆ្នាំ​ចិតសិប ដែល​ជា «ថ្ងៃ​នៃ​ស្ដេច​មួយ​អង្គ» ត្រូវ​បាន​តំណាង​ដោយ​នគរ​បាប៊ីឡូន ពីព្រោះ​ស្ដេច​មួយ​អង្គ គឺ​ជា​នគរ​មួយ ហើយ​បាប៊ីឡូន​តាម​អក្សរ​បាន​សោយរាជ្យ​អស់​រយៈពេល​ចិតសិប​ឆ្នាំ។ ឆ្នាំ​ចិតសិប​នៃ​បាប៊ីឡូន​តាម​អក្សរ​បាន​បញ្ចប់​នៅ​ក្នុង «ម៉ោង» ដែល​អក្សរ​សរសេរ​ដោយ​ដៃ​បាន​លេច​ឡើង​លើ​ជញ្ជាំង​សាល​ពិធី​ជប់លៀង​របស់​បែលសាស្សារ។ នៅ​យប់​នោះ​ឯង គាត់​ត្រូវ​បាន​សម្លាប់ ដោយ​អំណាច​ដែល​បាន​ចូល​មក​តាម «ជញ្ជាំង» ដោយ​គ្មាន​អ្នក​ណា​កត់សម្គាល់ ពីព្រោះ​គាត់​កំពុង​ធ្វើ​ពិធី​ជប់លៀង​ផឹក​ស្រា​នៃ​បាប៊ីឡូន ខណៈ​ដែល​វង់ភ្លេង​របស់​នេប៊ូក្នេសារ​កំពុង​លេង​តន្ត្រី ហើយ​ស្ត្រី​ពេស្យា​នៃ​ទីរ៉ុស​ច្រៀង​បទភ្លេង​ដ៏​ផ្អែមល្ហែម ហើយ​អ៊ីស្រាអែល​ក្បត់​សាសនា​រាំ និង​ក្រាប​បង្គំ។

Then fear took hold of all involved, for God had “taken counsel against Tyre” and had “purposed” “to stain the pride of all glory, and to bring into contempt all the honourable of the earth.” God therefore “shook the kingdoms” with the “great earthquake” of that “hour,” for God had “given a commandment against the merchant” kingdom, “to destroy the strong holds thereof.” In the “hour” of fear for Belshazzar, the kings and the merchants began a search to understand the meaning of the fiery words on the wall. The death of Belshazzar is about to happen, but at that point, he is still alive. He therefore sought to understand the mysterious words and offered rewards to the wise men, if they could interpret the writing, but it could not be done, for the wise men of Babylon employ the methodology of biblical study that was a counterfeit of truth. The mysterious words are as the vision of a book that is sealed.

Maka ketakutan pun melanda semua yang terlibat, kerana Tuhan telah “mengambil keputusan terhadap Tirus” dan telah “menetapkan” “untuk menajiskan keangkuhan segala kemuliaan, dan untuk menghina semua orang yang mulia di bumi.” Oleh itu Tuhan “menggoncangkan kerajaan-kerajaan” dengan “gempa bumi” yang besar pada “jam” itu, kerana Tuhan telah “memberikan suatu perintah terhadap” kerajaan saudagar itu, “untuk memusnahkan kubu-kubunya.” Pada “jam” ketakutan bagi Belsyazar, raja-raja dan para saudagar mula mencari pengertian untuk memahami makna kata-kata berapi yang tertulis pada dinding. Kematian Belsyazar hampir berlaku, tetapi pada ketika itu, dia masih hidup. Oleh itu dia berusaha memahami kata-kata yang penuh misteri itu dan menawarkan ganjaran kepada orang-orang bijaksana, jika mereka dapat mentafsirkan tulisan itu, tetapi hal itu tidak dapat dilakukan, kerana orang-orang bijaksana Babel menggunakan metodologi pengkajian Alkitab yang merupakan suatu pemalsuan terhadap kebenaran. Kata-kata misteri itu adalah seperti penglihatan sebuah kitab yang termeterai.

> Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof. Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied. Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live forever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance 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 and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and showing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation. Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry? I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee. And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not show the interpretation of the thing: And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom. Daniel 5:8–16.

The queen in the palace was not Belshazzar’s wife, but the queen of his grandfather, and she knew who could read the writing on the wall. There was a church (for a woman is a church prophetically), in the kingdom that knew who could understand the secrets of God.

Kuningazikazi ebugodlweni kwakungesuye umfati waBhelishatsari, kodwa kwakuyinkosikati yenkhosi yomkhulu wakhe, njalo wayekwazi ukuthi ngubani owayengafunda umbhalo odongeni. Kwakulalo ibandla (ngoba owesifazane, ngokwesiprofetho, ulisonto), embusweni, elalikwazi ukuthi ngubani owayengaqedisisa izimfihlo zikaNkulunkulu.

> “There was in the palace a woman who was wiser than them all,—the queen of Belshazzar’s grandfather. In this emergency she addressed the king in language that sent a ray of light into the darkness. ‘O king, live forever,’ she said, ‘let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance 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 and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar, thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; …now let Daniel be called, and he will show the interpretation.’

> “Bâl-imu inn hna tsing-thliam zawng zawng lakah pakhat a awm a, chu chu Belshazzar puinu a ni. He harsa hunah chuan lalber chu eng êng pakhatin thimna a tan chhuah tir ang hian a thu a hrilh a. ‘Aw lalber, kumkhua in nung rawh,’ a ti a, ‘i ngaihtuahna te hian nangmah an buai suh ang che, i hmel pawh danglam suh se. I ram chhungah hian mi pakhat a awm a, amahah chuan pathian thianghlimte thlarau a awm; i pa hunlai khan eng, hriatna leh finna, pathiante finna ang chu amahah hmuh a ni a; chu mi chu lal Nebuchadnezzar, i pa, lalber, ka sawi e, i pa chuan mitdelhtu, arsi zirhtu, Chaldea mite leh dawithiamte hotuah a siam; …tuah chuan Daniela ko rawh se, ani chuan a hrilhfiahna a sawi ang.’”

> “‘Then was Daniel brought in before the king.’ Making an effort to brace himself and to show his authority, Belshazzar said, ‘Art thou that Daniel which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, which the king, my father, brought out of Jewry? I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee…. Now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.’

> “‘Kemudian Daniel dibawa masuk menghadap raja.’ Sambil berusaha meneguhkan dirinya dan menunjukkan kewibawaannya, Belsyazar berkata, ‘Engkaukah itu Daniel, yang termasuk anak-anak buangan dari Yehuda, yang dibawa keluar dari tanah Yehuda oleh raja, ayahku? Aku bahkan telah mendengar tentang engkau, bahwa roh para dewa ada di dalam engkau, dan bahwa terang, pengertian, serta hikmat yang luar biasa terdapat padamu…. Sekarang, jika engkau dapat membaca tulisan itu dan memberitahukan kepadaku tafsirnya, engkau akan dikenakan pakaian ungu tua, kalung emas akan dikalungkan pada lehermu, dan engkau akan menjadi penguasa yang ketiga dalam kerajaan itu.’”

> “Daniel was not awed by the king’s appearance, nor confused or intimidated by his words. ‘Let thy gifts be to thyself,’ he answered, ‘and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation. O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour…. 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…. And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this, but hast lifted up thyself against the God of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of His house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk in them, and thou hast praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know; and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose all thy ways, hast thou not glorified.’

> “Daniel tidak terpesona oleh penampilan raja, dan tidak pula menjadi bingung atau gentar oleh perkataannya. ‘Biarlah pemberianmu itu tinggal padamu sendiri,’ jawabnya, ‘dan berikanlah upahmu kepada orang lain; namun aku akan membacakan tulisan itu kepada raja, dan memberitahukan kepadanya tafsirannya. Ya raja, Allah Yang Mahatinggi telah mengaruniakan kepada Nebukadnezar, ayahmu, suatu kerajaan, kebesaran, kemuliaan, dan kehormatan…. Tetapi ketika hatinya meninggi, dan pikirannya menjadi keras dalam keangkuhan, ia diturunkan dari takhta kerajaannya, dan kemuliaannya diambil daripadanya…. Dan engkau, anaknya, hai Belsyazar, tidak merendahkan hatimu, sekalipun engkau mengetahui semuanya ini, melainkan meninggikan dirimu terhadap Allah semesta langit; dan perkakas-perkakas rumah-Nya telah dibawa ke hadapanmu, lalu engkau, para pembesarmu, istri-istrimu, dan gundik-gundikmu, telah minum dari dalamnya, dan engkau telah memuji dewa-dewa dari perak dan emas, tembaga, besi, kayu, dan batu, yang tidak melihat, tidak mendengar, dan tidak mengetahui; tetapi Allah yang di dalam tangan-Nya ada napasmu, dan yang memiliki segala jalanmu, tidak engkau muliakan.’”

> “‘This is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin. This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene: God hath numbered thy kingdom and finished it. Tekel: Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. Peres: Thy kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.’

> “‘Ino ny soratra voasoratra: Mene, Mene, Tekel, Oufarsina. Ary izao no hevitry ny zavatra: Mene: efa noisain’Andriamanitra ny fanjakanao ka nofoanany. Tekel: voalanjalanja tamin’ny mizana ianao ka hita fa tsy ampy. Peresy: voazarazara ny fanjakanao ka nomena ny Mediana sy ny Persiana.’”

> “Daniel did not swerve from his duty. He held the king’s sin before him, showing him the lessons he might have learned but did not. Belshazzar had not heeded the events so significant to him. He had not read his grandfather’s history correctly. The responsibility of knowing truth had been laid upon him, but the practical lesson he might have learned and acted upon had not been taken to heart; and his course of action brought the sure result.

> “ഡാനിയേൽ തന്റെ കടമയിൽ നിന്ന് വഴുതിപ്പോയില്ല. രാജാവിന്റെ പാപം അവന്റെ മുമ്പിൽ വെച്ച്, അവൻ പഠിക്കാമായിരുന്നെങ്കിലും പഠിക്കാതിരുന്ന പാഠങ്ങളെ അവന് കാണിച്ചുകൊടുത്തു. ബെൽശസ്സർ തന്റെ കാര്യത്തിൽ അത്യന്തം പ്രാധാന്യമുള്ള സംഭവങ്ങളെ ശ്രദ്ധിച്ചില്ല. തന്റെ പിതാമഹന്റെ ചരിത്രം അവൻ ശരിയായി വായിച്ചറിഞ്ഞില്ല. സത്യം അറിയാനുള്ള ഉത്തരവാദിത്വം അവന്റെ മേൽ ഏല്പിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നു; എന്നാൽ അവൻ പഠിച്ചും അനുസരിച്ചും ഇരിക്കാമായിരുന്ന പ്രായോഗിക പാഠം ഹൃദയത്തിൽ സ്വീകരിക്കപ്പെട്ടിരുന്നില്ല; അതിനാൽ അവന്റെ പ്രവൃത്തിപഥം അതിന്റെ നിർഭാഗ്യമില്ലാത്ത ഫലത്തെ വരുത്തിക്കൊണ്ടുവന്നു.”

> “This was the last feast of boasting held by the Chaldean king; for He who bears long with man’s perversity had passed the irrevocable sentence. Belshazzar had greatly dishonoured the One who had exalted him as king, and his probation was taken from him. While the king and his nobles were at the height of their revelry, the Persians turned the Euphrates out of its channel, and marched into the unguarded city. As Belshazzar and his lords were drinking from the sacred vessels of Jehovah, and praising their gods of silver and gold, Cyrus and his soldiers stood under the walls of the palace. ‘In that night,’ the record says, ‘was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain. And Darius the Median took the kingdom.’” Bible Echo, May 2, 1898.

> “Ya e le mokete wa bofelo wa boikgantsho o o neng wa tshwarwa ke kgosi ya Bakalatia; gonne Ene yo o pelotelelelang go itshokela go sokama ga motho o ne a setse a atlhotse katlholo e e sa fetogeng.

In the midst of the crisis, the queen (a church), identified that there is a source that can identify the “Future for America”. Daniel once again stands in his lot to fulfill his purpose at the end of the days. The witness of the ensign given in the fiery furnace by Shadrach, Meshach and Abednego is now given by Daniel, as he adds to the line of truth that in the “hour” of the Sunday law crisis, those who represent the ensign will be brought before the state authorities to testify of the truth.

O harae hwɛmo mu no, ɔhemmaa no (asafo) huu sɛ fibea bi wɔ hɔ a ebetumi ahu “Daakye ma America” no. Daniel gyina bio ne kyɛfa mu sɛnea ɛbɛyɛ a obedi ne botae ho dwuma wɔ nna no awiei. Adansedi a Shadrach, Meshach ne Abednego de maa frankaa no wɔ ogya fononoo no mu no, afei Daniel na ɔde rema, bere a ɔde ka nokware kwan no ho sɛ, Kwasida mmara ɔhaw no “dɔnhwerew” mu no, wɔn a wogyina hɔ ma frankaa no, wɔde wɔn bɛkɔ aban mpanyimfo anim sɛ wɔnkɔdi nokware no ho adanse.

> “‘They will deliver you up to councils, … yea and before governors and kings shall ye be brought for My sake, for a testimony to them and to the Gentiles.’ Matthew 10:17, 18, R. V. Persecution will spread the light. The servants of Christ will be brought before the great men of the world, who, but for this, might never hear the gospel. The truth has been misrepresented to these men. They have listened to false charges concerning the faith of Christ’s disciples. Often their only means of learning its real character is the testimony of those who are brought to trial for their faith. Under examination these are required to answer, and their judges to listen to the testimony borne. God’s grace will be dispensed to His servants to meet the emergency. ‘It shall be given you,’ says Jesus, ‘in that same hour what ye shall speak. For it is not ye that speak, but the Spirit of your Father which speaketh in you.’ As the Spirit of God illuminates the minds of His servants, the truth will be presented in its divine power and preciousness. Those who reject the truth will stand to accuse and oppress the disciples. But under loss and suffering, even unto death, the Lord’s children are to reveal the meekness of their divine Example. Thus will be seen the contrast between Satan’s agents and the representatives of Christ. The Saviour will be lifted up before the rulers and the people.” The Desire of Ages, 354.

> “‘वे तिमीहरूलाई सभाहरूका सामु सुम्पिदिनेछन्, … अनि मेरा निम्ति तिमीहरूलाई हाकिमहरू र राजाहरूका सामु पनि ल्याइनेछ, तिनीहरू र अन्यजातिहरूका लागि साक्षीस्वरूप।’ मत्ती १०:१७, १८, R. V. सतावटले ज्योति फैलाउनेछ। ख्रीष्टका सेवकहरू संसारका महान् मानिसहरूका सामु ल्याइनेछन्, जो यसो नभएको भए सुसमाचार कहिल्यै नसुन्न सक्ने थिए। यी मानिसहरूका सामु सत्यलाई गलत रूपमा प्रस्तुत गरिएको छ। तिनीहरूले ख्रीष्टका चेलाहरूको विश्वाससम्बन्धी झूटा आरोपहरू सुन्दै आएका छन्। प्रायः यसको वास्तविक स्वरूप जान्ने तिनीहरूको एउटै उपाय भनेको तिनीहरूको विश्वासका कारण न्यायका लागि उपस्थित गराइएका व्यक्तिहरूको साक्षी नै हुन्छ। सोधपुछका क्रममा तिनीहरूले उत्तर दिनुपर्ने हुन्छ, र तिनीहरूका न्यायाधीशहरूले प्रस्तुत गरिएको साक्षी सुन्नुपर्ने हुन्छ। यस आपत्कालीन अवस्थाको सामना गर्न परमेश्वरको अनुग्रह उहाँका सेवकहरूलाई प्रदान गरिनेछ। येशू भन्नुहुन्छ, ‘त्यही घडी तिमीहरूले के बोल्ने हो, त्यो तिमीहरूलाई दिइनेछ। किनकि बोल्ने तिमीहरू होइनौ, तर तिमीहरूभित्र बोल्नुहुने तिमीहरूका पिताको आत्मा हुनुहुन्छ।’ जब परमेश्वरको आत्माले उहाँका सेवकहरूका मनलाई प्रकाशित गर्नुहुन्छ, तब सत्य आफ्नो दिव्य सामर्थ्य र बहुमूल्यतासहित प्रस्तुत गरिनेछ। सत्यलाई अस्वीकार गर्नेहरू चेलाहरूलाई दोष लगाउन र सताउन उभिनेछन्। तर हानि र कष्टको बीचमा, मृत्युसम्म पनि, प्रभुका सन्तानहरूले आफ्ना दिव्य उदाहरणको नम्रता प्रकट गर्नुपर्नेछ। यसरी शैतानका प्रतिनिधिहरू र ख्रीष्टका प्रतिनिधिहरूबीचको भिन्नता देखिनेछ। उद्धारकर्ता शासकहरू र जनताका सामु उच्च पारिनुहुनेछ।” द डिजायर अफ एजेस, ३५४।

As with the three worthies, Daniel was not interested in any gifts, nor did he need to rehearse what he was going to say. He very simply presented the interpretation of the “seven times,” represented upon the wall.

Sebagaimana dengan ketiga orang saleh itu, Daniel tidak tertarik pada pemberian apa pun, dan ia pun tidak perlu mempersiapkan terlebih dahulu apa yang hendak dikatakannya. Dengan sangat sederhana ia menyampaikan penafsiran tentang “tujuh masa” yang tergambar pada dinding itu.

> “Those who are unfaithful to the work of God are lacking in principle; their motives are not of a character to lead them to choose the right under all circumstances. The servants of God are to feel at all times that they are under the eye of their employer. He who watched the sacrilegious feast of Belshazzar is present in all our institutions, in the counting-room of the merchant, in the private workshop; and the bloodless hand is as surely recording your neglect as it recorded the awful judgment of the blasphemous king. Belshazzar’s condemnation was written in words of fire, ‘Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting’; and if you fail to fulfill your God-given obligations your condemnation will be the same.” Messages to Young People, 229.
