I thought Daniel 5 would be an easy lesson to teach. After all it is very unique in that we meet Belshazzar who throws a wild party and then sees the writing on the wall. Before the party is over he is dead and the kingdom is destroyed.
So what is the problem? I cannot help but see the comparison to Daniel 4 and how the judgment on Nebuchadnezzar brought repentance and salvation while the judgment on Belshazzar led to destruction. Daniel seemed to know the hearts of these two men because he gave Nebuchadnezzar the opportunity to repent but he only speaks judgment against Belshazzar.
