About
Daniel chapter 5v5-30 reveals that the time for the Babylonian empire was at an end. Lieutenant-General Sir John Glubb was a British soldier, scholar and author who studied the life cycle of world empires throughout history and discovered that all empires have a lifespan of about 250 years on average. He argued that empires go through seven steps. The age of outburst (or pioneers), the age of conquests, the age of commerce, the age of affluence, the age of intellect, the age of decadence and finally the age of decline and collapse.
The king of Babylon in his arrogance and pride is drinking from the vessels from the Temple of God.
Unlike his father Nebuchadnezzar, this king did not acknowledge the one true God. Even as the king and a thousand of his nobles are getting drunk and praising the gods of gold, silver, bronze, iron, wood and stone suddenly there appears out of the blue some writing on the wall. The message is from God....Your days are numbered, you have been weighed
