Part 2: Daniel Chapter 5

Where prophetic text helps us to determine where we are in the end times, biographic text helps us learn what it looks like to live successfully in end time settings.

• Belshazzar worshiped the gods of certain stones in Daniel 5:4. What is familiar about these stones and the stones of Daniel 2?

• Belshazzar is judged after his use of the vessels in verse 1-4. What lessons can we learn from the way BOTH Israel and Babylon used the vessels?

• Why was Daniel chosen to deal with Belshazzar’s confusion in verses 10-14? How does that relate to the Kingdom of God? Note: Daniel 6:3

• What was the intention of the tower of Babel in Genesis 11:4?

• How did God respond to this tower in Genesis 12:1-2?

• What does the name Daniel mean? And why does Babylon give him a new name?

• Belshazzar was unfamiliar with Daniel before the queen introduced him in verse 11. He was reminded of him by verses 13-14. What caused him to forget the actions of Daniel and the Most High? What can we learn from Belshazzar’s neglect in building the Kingdom of God?
