Homily for November 27th, 2019. Daniel 5:1-6,13-14,16-17, 23-28.
It was quite a party. The Babylonian King Belshazzar knew how to do these things right. He brought in all the women from his harem, to be admired by his guests. There were singers and dancers. The wine flowed like water. When everyone in the hall had drunk deeply, he ordered the silver and gold vessels which his father, King Nebuchadnezzar, had plundered from the Jewish Temple at Jerusalem
Then it happened: a scene out of a Hollywood blockbuster. High up on the wall, brightly illuminated by a nearby lamp, a hand started to write three mysterious words on the wall: MENE, TEKEL, and PERES. Suddenly the great hall is silent, the king and all his guests aghast. “Call Daniel,” the king orders in a trembling voice. Daniel was the bright-eyed Jewish teenager who, we heard two days ago, refused to eat the food sent to him from the king’s table, because it was not kosher. “If you can tell me what those words mean,” the king tells Daniel, “I’ll give you the highest honors in my kingdom,” Belshazzar says. “You can keep your gifts, sir,” Daniel replies. “I’ll tell you what the words mean.”
And he does. To this all powerful man, a ruler not limited by any laws or constitution, Daniel says: “You’re finished. Not once in your life did you ever worship the only true god. And you have persecuted those who do worship Him. You’re washed up – and your kingdom too. The God of Israel has sent this hand to tell you that you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting.”
This whole story from the book of Daniel is not history. It is fable – like the fable about the boy George Washington cutting his father’s new cherry tree with the axe which some stupid fool had given him – and then confessing the misdeed to his father, because he couldn’t tell a lie. The fables in Daniel were written to encourage the Jews, exiled and maltreated in Babylon
He is saying the same to us today.
