The Purifying Work of the Holy Spirit

Daniel was brought before King Belshazzar to interpret the writing on the wall. He reminded the king of Nebuchadnezzar’s humbling, rebuked Belshazzar’s pride and idolatry, and explained the words: MENE (God has numbered your days), TEKEL (you are weighed and found lacking), and PERES (your kingdom will be divided and given to the Medes and Persians). That same night Belshazzar was killed, and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom.
