In #Daniel 5, we see a powerful example of human pride. The story ends in a surprising and awful way. We saw that #Nebuchadnezzar takes a long time to learn his lesson. But at least he learns it. Sadly, his grandson, #Belshazzar, never does. King Belshazzar takes the gold and silver cups from God’s temple. The king fills them with wine at a wild party. He gives the cups to his guests to drink from. What Belshazzar does is very wrong. It is an attack on God Himself. Belshazzar behaves the same as the little horn power (read Daniel 8). The #littlehorn attacks God’s temple in heaven. So, God removes King Belshazzar’s kingdom and gives it to another king. God will do the same thing to the enemies who hurt His people in the #endtimes. The story in Daniel 5 about King Belshazzar happens in 539 b.c. On that night, the Medo-Persian army takes control of #Babylon. This helps us remember the statue in Daniel 2. The 1st kingdom of gold is now replaced by the 2nd kingdom of silver. Gold is a word picture for Babylon. Silver is a word picture for Media-Persia. Everything happens just as God says it will. Again, we see that God controls everything that happens on earth. Sabbath School Lesson 6: https://bit.ly/2Wb1BpN Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=RuQJ6GwFXJI

There are billions of people living on earth. How many languages do they speak? More than 6,000! The Bible has been written in more than 600 languages. The New Testament has been written in more than 2,500 languages too. That is a lot of languages! At the same time, 2,500 is less than half the languages spoken on the earth. About 1.5 billion people do not have the full Bible in their own language. Bible societies have done a lot of work to change that. But a lot more work needs to be done to write the Bible in other languages. For hundreds of years in Europe, the Roman Catholic Church hid the Bible away from people. Then things changed with the printing press and the Protestant Reformation. The #ProtestantReformation was a time when people in Europe woke up to Bible truth. Hundreds of years later, we continue to look for new ways to study the #Bible and learn more about Jesus. #SabbathSchool Lesson 7: https://bit.ly/35MvP76 Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=qG3DdcpFl7k

Pastor Ted Wilson, president of the Seventh-day Adventist World Church, delivers a message to all Adventist church members: "Friends, according to biblical understanding, this is not the final crisis. This is not one of the seven last plagues, but it certainly is a precursor to what is coming. I believe that Jesus is coming very soon. Biblical prophecy will be fulfilled. You can count on that. We are living in the last days of Earth's history." Source: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OugZwDCAq8s
