Babylon was once a world power. Her king thought he could defy and ignore the living God until a hand appeared and wrote on the wall that his kingdom had been weighed by God and came up short. That very night Babylon was overthrown.
“You… Belshazzar, have not humbled your heart…. You have lifted yourself up against the Lord of heaven. You have been weighed in the balances and found wanting.” [1]
We are in a time of derision because so many kings and their people have risen up against God and His Anointed One (Christ). Political and religious upheavals are happening everywhere.
“Why do the nations rage, and the people plot a vain thing? The kings of the earth set themselves, and the rulers take counsel together, against the Lord and against His Anointed, saying, ‘Let us break Their bonds in pieces and cast away Their cords from us.’ He who sits in the heavens shall laugh; the Lord shall hold them in derision.” [2]
It is time to cleave to and profess Christ as Lord. Be saved not lost!
The destiny of every human being is stated in the Bible…
“God has highly exalted Him and given Him the Name, which is above every name, that at the Name of Jesus every knee should bow, of those in heaven, and of those on earth, and of those under the earth, and that every tongue should confess that Jesus Christ is Lord, to the glory of God the Father.” [3]
We may or may not have to stand before earthly authorities due to our professed beliefs, but every one of us will stand before God’s throne and give an account of what we believed and professed on earth.
