Daniel: When the Writing’s On the Wall

Mark Sneddon | Daniel 5 | Victorians are preparing to vote in the State election on Nov 27th. Christians recognize that governments are a gift from God to help order society and restrain evil. Not all governments or political leaders act for the common good and many have no sense that their authority is delegated from God. In today’s read-ing from Daniel 5 we see how power and authority can be misused and how haughty arrogance leads to a king’s downfall. This is not ancient narrative from the dusty pages of the Old Testament. This is still real life today.
