Last Days Believers - Hand Writing On The Wall (notes)

Last Days Believers - Hand Writing On The Wall

What It Means To be a believer in the last days

We Will See

• The greatest move of the Holy Spirit on the earth and
• We will see the rise of the anti-christ to some form of world scene.
• We will also see an increase of evil.

We Will Also See the fulfillment of many of the prophecies of the prophets (including of Jesus Christ).

THE HAND OF GOD wrote His decision on the wall for everyone to see. Daniel 5

The Final Straw was the desecration of the gold & silver goblets brought from the temple in Jerusalem.

The King and his nobles, his wives and his concubines drank wine from them.

Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lamp stand in the royal palace.

Principle

• God gives rulers opportunities to do what is right and when a ruler continually dishonors the Lord, God will deal with that nation as a result.

God Honors

Daniel by the voice of the queen who tells the king about Daniel. V- 10-12

Are You Daniel?

I have heard about you! You are anointed and you have insight, intelligence and outstanding wisdom!

The Experts

• In the kingdom could not answer the king’s request only Daniel had the answer and it was not what the king wanted to hear.

Daniel

Did not want power, he also knew the days of power for the king of Babylon were numbered.

A Lesson

• In humility. Daniel mentions Nebuchadnezzar as a case study in humility.

Daniel 5:18-21

A Rebuke

• The king was mocking God by praising the gods of silver, gold, bronze, iron, wood and stone-which can not see, hear or understand.

Daniel 5:23

Daniel Is Exalted

• But it was a hollow promotion for that night, Belshazzar is murdered and Darius the Mede takes over the kingdom at age 62.

God Is Giving

• The people in our nation right now to turn to Him. The shake up in our financial markets is a sample of how fragile the world is and how God can stop any nation that does not honor Him.

The Mercy of God

2 Peter 3

1. The world has always been on shaky ground.
2. In the last days scoffers, walking after their lusts, saying where is the promise of His coming?
3. Pattern of God’s judgment.
4. God is not slack when He promises to be merciful.

God Desires To

• Save everyone in the whole world!

2 Peter 3:9

• The day of the Lord will come as a thief in the night; in which the heavens will pass away with a great noise, and the elements will melt away with fervent heat, the earth will be burned up.

• In the light of the coming judgment how are we to live? In holy conversation and godliness.

How Do I Know if I am living under the blessing of the Kingdom of God?

1. God’s favor will be upon me.
2. God’s power will operate in my life.
3. I will be a powerful intercessor.
4. I will proclaim the Word of God with power.
