7@7 #98: End of an Empire 1

Will your false gods save you? Pastor/Professor Andrew Marquez looks at Daniel 5:1-4. These verses tell of a Belshazzar's blasphemous banquet. With Persia waiting outside the gates of Babylon, the acting king throws a depraved party in honor of his gods. He commits sacrilege by using Israel's consecrated vessels to toast idols. Instead of repenting and turning to the true God of Daniel and Nebuchadnezzar, Belshazzar increases his iniquity. What gods to we turn to today? Is it the gods of politics, psychology, education, medicine, or pseudo-morality? Can such gods save us? Repent and turn to the living God.
