Open your bibles to Daniel chapter 5--thanks.
This is the amazing part of the whole chapter. The Holy Spirit gives a man interpretation of hard sayings. This man is a Prophet. No one else can tell what the handwriting means. This is verse 12.
There is a different mentioning of the handwriting in ver. 25 it has mene, mene, tekel, upharsin. but in ver. 26-28 it has mene, tekel, peres. Now what can we do here? The answer is God will have to interpret. I believe I have the Spirit from what the Spirit of God has shown to me. That means that if you are going to know at all God will have to show you. First I want to give him praise and thanks that he is our great and glorious God and he is awesome and wonderful.
The answer is not in the handwriting alone , but the situation. We see in ver. 23 That the king and the people were making abomination of the things of God. They were most holy. They were the things of his house. --- Let us see something extra here. God's word, doctrine, ministry, gifts, people, and anything else we can add, are most holy. we must never use them for wicked or evil purposes. If we do, just like Jezebel in the book of Revelations--God gave even her space to repent. Rev. 2:20.
It goes deeper than that v.23. The vessels and all that was of precious silver and gold were purchased by the shekel of the sanctuary. In Exodus 30: 13-15 we see the poll of all the people was a half shekel. I will make all this simple for you the reader. The people were to give by measure no more or less than a half shekel (beqa) This was a silver coin or (measure) the Beqa was called the atonement for your soul. By law a requirement. Will stop here with the Beqa as it is a lot and don't want to confuse anyone. see Ex. 30 for further study.
Beqa and Baqa are what I call them bro. and sis. words. Baqa means to split or divide. Now to see the Beqa atonement for the soul. half shekel which must be exactly measured by only giving a half, or the measurement has no value at all. God's requirement. Otherwise you will be lacking. Simply-- it's not the amount but the measure God requires. do you see-- the king and his people were found wanting. They were weighed in the balances. Now their kingdom will be divided--split in half. (baqa) They did not have the ransom so now Persia will be God's judgment. v.26 is now seen as the proper bible translation which Daniel gave. The Peres is divide and split in two. Same as baqa divide, split in two. rend also. mene is numbered and tekel balanced and weighed.
key words to help-- the amount--the weighing-- the dividing. and lacking (wanting) what is required. God used these pictures of his great wisdom to make the point on his heart. You will pay for messing with my holy things. Daniel was giving a message and he shows them what they would understand. Notice that Daniel always prayed toward the Holy temple, he knew it well. also the sanctuary.
faith-- forsake all I trust him. Baal-- believe apostacy all lost. bible-- believe in bible life eternal.
