Introduction：Do you like to go to parties?Maybe you like birthday parties best, or Christmas or New Years parties. Well, today wont you join me for a different kind of party right in the palace of the king of Babylon! 你喜欢去聚会吗?可能你最喜欢生日聚会, 或圣诞节或新年聚会。好不好，我们今天一起去参加一个在巴比伦王宫举行的另外一种聚会! Can you imagine that we would see such rich decorations, and elegantly clothed people, and oh! Imagine the delicious food! The Bible tells us in Daniel Chapter 5 that King Belshazzar had made a great feast for a thousand of his lords. This was a big party! But sad to say, it was not the kind of party you and I would have enjoyed, for the people were doing very foolish things. The Bible indicates they were drinking lots of wine, which caused them to say and do sinful things. 你能想象一下我们将见到富丽堂皇的装饰以及穿着典雅的人吗?还有，哇，想象一下那美味可口的食物!圣经在但以理书第五章里告诉我们伯沙撒王为他的一千个大臣大摆宴席。这是一个盛大的聚会!但很遗憾, 这不是你我想参加的那种聚会, 因为那些人都做很愚昧的事。圣经说他们喝着许多酒, 导致他们行为和言语犯罪。 The servants were commanded by King Belshazzar to bring the golden and silver vessels that King Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple of the true and living God in Jerusalem. King Belshazzar was King Nebuchadnezzars son or grandson, and although he knew about the true and living God, he had chosen to worship idols. As the king and all his lords and ladies drank wine from the holy vessels from the Lords house, the Bible says they praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone. How foolish to worship the things God has made, rather than to glorify the God Who made all things! |
