These are God’s words.
Belshazzar of Babylon saw the writing on the wall and wondered what it meant. You see the writing on your wall everyday in newspaper headlines, TV news stories, and internet blogs, and you remain asleep. Oh, some say change and hope and reform, ‘isn’t it wonderful!’ Others say, we are being robbed of our identity and culture; others say, ‘this too shall pass’. Some say, ‘we must fight’ and others, ‘what’s the use’, as they struggle to maintain their standard of living. But no one asks why. No one asks, ‘what can we do?’ No one asks, what is the author of the writing saying?
He is saying, you have turned your back on Me, and I have turned My back on you.
You know there is a monster in the room and all you do is hide under the covers and pretend it isn’t there. It is there, and it is going to eat you unless you call for help. You cannot fight it, you cannot escape, you cannot even run for very long.
You are doomed, and you will die, unless you confess your sins and say we are a rebellious and complacent people and we repent. We have abandoned, rejected, and ridiculed the very one who gave us our blessings, and we only curse Him when they are taken away. If you would say, ‘we will change’, ‘we will return to the path of our fathers’, ‘we will seek your will and not our own’ – then I would preserve your lives. But you will not repent even to live.
In heaven, there is joy for the few who listen, and sadness and anguish for those who will not. Wake up America. Look at the writing on the wall and do something about it.
