Well, hey, can we praise the Lord for that time of worship? Can we so fun worshiping with you all every week if you have your Bible, and I hope you do grab it or turn it on on your phone, whatever you need to do and get to Daniel chapter five. We're continuing our series in the book of Daniel called Counter Cultural, and that that phrase, the writing is on the wall. You may have heard it. It's it's said often and it comes from this. Chapter and it really means that the judgment has been made, the fate has been written. It is what it is. The writing is on the wall, and we live in a culture. What's interesting, I don't know if you recognize this, but we live in a culture that's obsessed with judgment and justice. I mean, think about like every superhero movie. We want the good guys to win, bad guys to lose. If you don't want that, you're strange. You should really shake your heart like you good guys win. Bad guys lose, um, the original John Wick like 2014, the reason why that was such a phenomenon, right, is, is as Kenny Res put it, he says it's, it gave people this, this sense of an Old Testament judgment, this justice. Of if you kill the guy's dog, he will come after you. Um, it's, it's the movie Taken where the guy gets on the phone, he is like, look, I have a, I have a set of skills and I will find you and I will kill you. And we're all like, you watch that And you're like, let. Go, good guys win. Bad guys lose. And what that is in your heart, like, let me just tell you what's going on in your soul when that's happening, is that you have an innate sense of justice and being made in God's image. We serve a just God. He's holy. One day he's gonna exercise judgment all over the entire world. And you have an innate sense of, I want the good guys to win. I want the bad guys to lose. But this is what I also know about human beings, something I know about. Us is that we, we love to hear when evil is right, rightfully punished. We want judgment. We want justice. We just don't want to be the ones being judged like we're good if it's somebody else, but if it has to come to us, we want the rules to be Ben. We want things maybe not to apply. We start trying to justify it. CS Lewis was right when he wrote that there are two kinds of people in the world. One, one group looks at God and says, God, thy will be done. And the other group, God looks to them and says, thy will be done. Alright. Have it your way. And that's what's gonna go on in our, in our text today in Daniel chapter five. God says to a proud unrepentant king, fine, have it your way. And the handwriting was literally on the wall. So if you will, you go ahead and stand with me for the reading of God's word. We're gonna read Daniel chapter five, verse one through nine, and then we'll walk through the rest of the text. Hear the word of the Lord. King Bel Shaar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords and drank wine in front of thousands. Now, let me just point out something real quick. That is a really important phrase. There's a lot in that one verse. Just think of that, like if I were to say Abraham Lincoln went to Ford's theater. Or JFK took a ride in Dallas. There's a lot there historically. Okay, so King Azar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords and drank wine in front of the thousand Bel Shaar, when he tasted the wine commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver, that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken outta the temple in Jerusalem, be brought that the king and his Lords, his wives and his concubines might drink from them. Then they brought in the golden vessels that had been taken outta the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king of his Lord lords. His wives and his concubine drank from them, and they drank wine and praise the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone. In other words, the gods that they could control immediately. This is where it gets interesting. The fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall in the king's palace. Opposite of the lampstand, in other words, so everyone could see it, that the king saw the hand as it wrote and the king's color changed and his thoughts were alarmed. Him. His limbs gave way and his knees knocked together. The king called loudly to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. The king declared to the wise men of Babylon. Whoever reads this writing and shows me its interpretation shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom. Then the King's Wiseman came in, but if they could not read the writing or make known to the king of the interpretation. Then King Bel Shaar was greatly alarmed and his color changed, and his lords were perplexed. May God bless the reading of his word. You can be seated. If I were to give you my sermon in a sentence today, what I want you to write down, if you don't get anything else, it's just simply this. It's foolish to ignore God's warning of judgment. It's foolish. Uh, there's a phrase, I don't know if you recognize this, but there are a lot of people who like to throw around, um, that only God can judge them. And what they're making a statement about is that the judgments of other people don't matter. And I'm not known that, I'm not necessarily sure that's true, but that's what they think. The judgment of other people don't matter. The issue is, is that like, I'm not sure that we really want God to judge us for what we are due. You that it may not actually be good for you, that only God can judge you. And in the text, what we're gonna see today is we're gonna learn from this story, learn from history, if you will, and recognize that, that it's foolish to ignore God's warning of judgment. Lemme give you a little background. King Bel Hazar is new in the book of Daniel. You've been reading about King Nebuchadnezzar, and last week, king Nebuchadnezzar, he was. Seven years out in the field acting like a cow. Literally that's what happened. And he humbled himself and then he, uh, he basic, he enters into a relationship with God. He is saved. And now what's going on is Neon. That's the guy's name. He is ruling and he is made his son, Bel Shaar, the co regent. The, the ruler of Babylon for this period of time, we know exactly when this would've happened. It would've been October the 12th, 5 39 bc. This is the night. What we're reading about is the night that the Meadow Persian army surrounds Babylon and Bels. Shaar will die. Bel Shaar again, he's the cogent of. Babylon. And by the way, what happened for, I mean, centuries, I don't know, 1800 years, was that people made fun of the book of Daniel because we had no record of Bels Shaar. And then at the latter end of the 19th century, early of 20th century, so late 18 hundreds, early 19 hundreds, um, archeologists found 37 basically articles archeological finds, talking about belser being king. So, you know. One Bible, zero skeptics. That's the way that the scoreboard counted there. So this is, this is historically accurate. Belcher is king. He's cogent and he's confident. The Persian army surrounding him, babylon's walls are enormous. There were wide enough that chariots could race across them. They're 40 foot high. The river went under the walls. They had basically an endless supply of water, and they had 20 years worth of food. Like they had enough to be confident that nothing was going to overtake them. They had overtaken virtually everyone else. And as this army has surrounded him, he throws a party. Why does he throw a party? I don't know. Maybe he thinks he actually believes he's untouchable. Maybe it's that he, he saw that God could. Humble Nebuchadnezzar, most likely his grandfather. And he didn't think that God was gonna humble him. And this party that he throws, it's a prideful thing. And Pride has a way of throwing parties when it should be praying. Rain Belcher is evidently in love with his own excellence, and the story is a reminder. That when empires, when nations, when even individual souls, people like you and me be in, become intoxicated with ourselves, judgment isn't far behind. And so the first thing I want you to see in the text, like if we can, the, the way that we actually prepare for judgment, the way that we actually can learn from history here, this is the first thing I want you to see, is that we need to understand the holiness of God. So we read in the text that Belzer throws this party. The, the text doesn't begin with humility or prayer, but it begins this, in this feast on the very night of his destruction, he brings in a thousand people around him and he pours one and he laughs in the face of God. It's interesting in verse three and four that what happens is that he brings the very holy things that Nebuchadnezzar would have captured when he overtook Jerusalem. He brings the things from the temple. The vessels, the, the very items that, that Nebuchadnezzar would've counted as at least religiously significant, and he begins eating and drinking from them. It's, it's a remarkable thing. It's, it's a mockery of God. He's mocking God. What happens is that, that when the text says that he was drinking wine and tasting wine like that, don't get this idea that he was merely outta wine tasting, just, you know, observing the different flavors. That's not what's going on here. He is continually drinking and it's remarkable how brave he gets as the night goes on. It carries this idea that typically kings would be put away in a room with just a few people around him, but he's out in the open. His drunkenness has made him brave. He has, has put him in an open room where his concubines are around him, and he's, he's out there. And it's just remarkable because the book of Proverbs in, in chapter 31 says that a king should not be filled with much wine because he needs a lead with a clear head. And so Bel Shaar in his pride doesn't follow that proverb. He's feasting in the face of judgment. It's the same, it's the same arrogance that Jesus talked about in Luke chapter 17 when he describes what was going on before the flood. He says that the people before the flood in Genesis, before the flood, people were eating and drinking and were merry, and they, they did not count significant. The warnings of God. It's the same idea here. Babylon's party was loud. It just happens to be the case that heaven's clock, heaven's clock had already struck midnight, and as he takes these holy vessels from God's temple, what that shows us is he is that he did not understand the holiness of God. And that's what sin is. It's using the sacred for our own pleasure. He, he praised what was worthless as. As divine. It's, it's not just bad taste. What, what Bel Shaar is doing here, it's, it's blasphemy. Like it's one thing to forget God. It's another thing to mock him. And so notice what happens. He becomes strong, and when he's strong, he becomes arrogant. And that arrogance turned into sensuality, which turns into sacrilege. We always begin to mock God in the process, and this is important for us to recognize because. The first step towards judgment is losing reverence for what is holy. The first step towards judgment is always losing reverence for what is holy and Bel, he doesn't know it, but he's drinking to his own downfall. He's making a toast to his own destruction because he did not understand the holiness of God. And I just want you to recognize like the casualness that we often display in our whole own lives toward the things of God. It's the same sort of sin and the cure for the casualness to the things of God is recovering all to the God who created and sustains the entire universe. It's recovering the awe of the God who maintained his faithfulness to a people who often turned his, turned their backs on him. It's recovering all to the God who sent his son from heaven to die. For you, it's recovering the awe of his love, his faithfulness, and his goodness, like that's the way you battle against the casualness of your heart to the things of God. See, when you truly understand who God is, his holiness, his power, his glory. You won't treat him flippantly. This is a reminder that, again, that pride is a dangerous thing, and so let's be the kind of people who honor God as holy and recognize that we can't treat him or what he's concerned about as just flippantly, like we have to treat it as holy, so we need to understand the holiness of God. Next is that we need to recognize the limitations of worldly wisdom. And so what happens is that there's this, this hand, it's in the, and this literal hand fingers, no body, just hand. All right. Starts writing on the wall. And we learn later in the text that it writes four words, and we'll talk about that in a second. And Bel Shaar goes from partying to being really afraid. It says that his face turned white. That his, um, that his limbs grew weak. The commentators disagree on what that means. Some of them thinks that like he, he was, his limbs grew limp and it made him faint and that made his knees knocked together. Others say that it has to do with his bowels, and what it means is that he, it scared him so bad. He should have wore his brown pants, you know what I'm saying? Like he had a bad day. I mean, what would you do if you saw, if you saw a hand appear and start riding on a wall? And the Bible says that he's afraid and he cries out The king who thought no one could touch him, army armies have surrounded his place and now he's crying out. Call, the call the people, the nobles who were there, the astrologers, the the wise men, the people who know the worldly wisdom, call them and tell them to interpret it. And this is not the first time that we've seen this in the book of Daniel. Remember in Daniel chapter two, Nebuchadnezzar has a dream and the wise men of Babylon could not interpret it, but Daniel could, same idea. They come and they look and it's just four words and they could not interpret. And then he cries. He cries out. So much so that his mom comes onto the scene. That's a tough day for a king if your mom has to show up and help you. It's tough over and over again. In the book of Daniel, we are told that the wise men fail to deliver, and I just want you to know that not much has changed even in our culture. I mean those in our culture. Who claim to be wise and worldly wisdom can only take you so far. Worldly wisdom can only take you so far when it comes to the ultimate questions of your life, when it comes to the ultimate things that your soul desires, when it comes to what you ultimately need. Let me just go and tell you worldly wisdom can't do it, and you're like, how do you know that? Have you looked at the world today? Like it's not something. That we ought to aspire to. Like worldly wisdom can only take you so far. And in this moment they're learning that. And what, what we should take from this is that we are in desperate need from a word of God, like a word from God. Bel is our recognizes that the experts can't help and the people of worldly wisdom in our culture can't help you. You're like, why is, but why do I push groups so much? Because biblical community is so important. You don't need people in your life who aren't following God speaking into the most important things of your life. Like you just don't need that. It's not good for you. And you're like, I'm an adult. I can be like, I cannot be around the church and I'll be fine. No, no, no. You never grow out of the reality that you are the sum of your five closest friends. Like some of you, like told your, like kids all growing up, you have to be careful of your friends. You have to be careful of your friends. Why? Because you don't want them becoming like certain people, right? Like they're influencing. It's just you have forgot your own advice. If you are hanging around people all the time, your closest relationships with people who are not following after God, they're not gonna press you into godly wisdom. Like it's not that hard to comprehend God. You know what I'm saying? Like. Sometimes you just have to say things out loud. Worldly wisdom will only take you so far. So this is what happens in the story. Okay? The queen, verse 10. I'm just gonna summarize for the sake of time, the queen. This is Queen mama. Okay? This is Mom comes up because she heard her boy screaming. The king screaming Mama comes up. That tells me that Bel Shaar, he's a spoiled brat. Alright, that's all I got. But he's a spoiled brat, never works for nothing. He got appointed King and now he's king. He's spoiled brat. Mom is coming to save him. We we're thankful for mamas. All right, and so mama comes up and she's like, Hey, there was a guy, there's a guy actually who's serving in, serving here. He's older now, but, but he's the one, if you remember, he's the one who could interpret dreams. He could interpret dreams when no one else could. He could solve the most, the most difficult problems when no one else could. His name is, his name is Daniel, and you should call Daniel. And so what Bel Shaar does is that he calls Daniel, and this is what we should learn, is that we need to have no interest in temporary things. And so he calls Daniel. And it's super interesting because Daniel, by this time, he's probably 80 years old. It's probably, I don't know, 65 years since Daniel was brought into exile. He's constantly lived with integrity. He's worked his way up in the king's palace. He's always served the king well. He's sought the welfare of the city and now. Bel is about to tank the thing, and he calls them and he offers, he offers Daniel the same thing. He offered the, the, the Chaldeans and the astrologers and the, and the wise men. He says, I'll give you a purple robe. In other words, I'll, I'll give you something real nice, like it's real expensive. I'll give you a necklace and I'll make you third in command. It had to be third because he was co regent, so his dad neons was one, Bel Shaar was two, and now you have Daniel who would be three. And I love the way that Daniel answers as, as basically, Beltazar is trying to buy Daniel. He thinks he can solve this with money. He's trying to buy Daniel. And looking, verse 17, this is how Daniel answered. He says, let your gifts before yourself and give your reward to another. Never. Nevertheless, I will, I'll read the writing to the king and make known to him the interpretation. In other words, what he's saying is, look, dude, I'm 80 now. I'm retired. I'm entered this stage where I don't care. Like I can say things any way that I wanna say'em. I'll do this one for free. I'll tell you exactly what it means. And by the way. Daniel, he looks, he knows exactly what it says. He's probably thinking, you're trying to sell me a ticket to the Titanic, like this whole thing's about the tank brother. Like, we're, we're done here. He says, I'll tell you what it means. This is a way that we see Daniel over and over and over again in the book of Daniel not putting all of his stock and things that fade. That he's more concerned with the kingdom that's coming rather than the one that he's in right now. That's the life of a Jesus follower that Daniel is concerned with what is coming. He's, he's concerned with the, the eternal kingdom and he can't be bought by the culture. And in verse 18, something happens. We're gonna see that, that Daniel is going to tell, it's the fourth thing Daniel's going to tell. King Bel Shaar. He needs to learn from history. Remember what happened. So we're gonna read verse 18 through 23. Listen to what Daniel says to the king. He says, oh king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar your father kingship and greatness and glory and majesty. And because of the greatness that he gave him, all people's nations and languages trembled and feared before him. Whom he would he killed and whom he would, he kept alive. Whom he would, he raised up and whom he would, he humbled. But when his heart was lifted up and his spirit was hardened so that he, he, so that he dealt proudly, he was brought down from his king kingly throne and his glory was taken from him. He was driven from among the children of mankind and his. Mind was made like that of a beast and his dwelling was that of the wild donkeys. He, he was fed grass like an ox, and his body was wet with the do of heaven. Get this until he knew that the most high God rules the kingdom of mankind and sets over it who he will. Now this is verse 22, and you, his son, Bel Shaar, have not humbled your heart, though you knew this. But you have lifted up yourself against the Lord of Heaven and the vessels of his house have been brought in before you and you, your Lord, your wife, your cock minds have drunk wine from them, and you have praised the gods of silver and gold of bronze, iron, wood, and stone, which do not see or hear or know, but the God in whose hand is your breath and whose are all your ways you have not honored. Daniel says, Hey man, I'm just gonna take this opportunity to go ahead and lecture you because I can, you know, like Daniel's the one who can interpret the dream. Daniel's got all the chips, you know what I'm saying? Like, so he is like, Hey, I'll take, I'll take this. Lemme just, lemme just tell you what your problem is. You think the problem is the handwriting on the wall, but your problem is actually. Your heart, and he says, it's interesting. He, he tells a story of Nebuchadnezzar. Nebuchadnezzar had it all. He had everything. Yet God humbled him. And then ne Nebuchadnezzar lifted his eyes to heaven and he tells Belzer, you knew all of this. In other words, you witnessed it. You saw it. It's not, it's not unknown to you. She Bel Shaar wasn't ignorant. He heard the stories, he knew what happened. When Nebuchadnezzar defied God, he'd been given front row seats to God's mercy and his judgment, but he didn't learn. He didn't apply it. He didn't humble himself. And when Daniel adds that specific charge in verse 23, the God in whose hand is your breath? And who's, or all your ways you have not honored, let that, let that sink in with you. Like God holds your breath. Every single breath in his hand. You are alive right now because God holds your breath. He's sustaining you every heartbeat, every breath, every moment of existence is a gift from him. Yet Basar never honored him. This is what makes Bel Shear's judgment so severe. It's not that he didn't know it's that. He had a warning. He had an example right in front of him, but he chose pride over humility. He, he chose mockery over worship and he chose himself over God. And this is my concern. My concern is that when we hear sermons like these and we hear testimonies of people who have been rescued by God from their sin and they've been brought into newness of life, and we think about God's faithfulness over and over again in our lives, like I was thinking about this the other day, like, man, God has been so faithful and it's not that I just like, I don't know what your story is, but it's not that my life like you, if you thought about it, you're like, man, like. Kids probably shouldn't have to go through what Ryan went through. And it was real strange, really dark days. But you look back like God's faithfulness somehow brought all of me to, to right here. I, God's been so faithful to me. He's been so faithful to you. And when you remember that and you hear the stories of God and we continually choose to dishonor him. And you're failing to learn from history. You're failing to learn from his, from his word. You are lifting yourself up against the Lord. So how many of us are like belshazzar? We know the stories. We're even convinced that they're true, that we've seen the change of people. We know Jesus rose from the dead. We know we died on the cross for our sins. But we've not humbled our hearts before the Lord. See, knowledge without obedience is his condemnation. The Bible says that even the enemy, the the devil himself, believes in trembles. God's holding your breath right now. The question is, are you honoring him? Alright, last thing, and let's wrap this thing up. So you're gonna learn from history. You also need to side with what lasts, and this is where we learn what the text on the wall was. Then from his presence, the hand was sent and those writing was inscribed me, Mene, TECO, and Parson. This is the interpretation of the ma matter here. Daniel's coming through again, Mene. God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end. Teel, you have been weighed in the balances and found wanting Perez. Your kingdom is divided and given to the Meads and the Persians. Then Belcher already gave the command and Daniel got his robe and Daniel got the necklace and a proclamation was made about him in that moment and that very night. Belzer, the Chaldean King. Was killed and Darius the mead received the kingdom being about 62 years old. So these, it's really interesting, these air make words, man, may te and parcel Perez or parcel and how ever it's interpreted in your text. It, it's, it's interesting because they're related to weights and measurements. Think about the British pound. Right, like I pay with a pound. But a pound is also a weight of measurement. So the people, it can be a noun or a verb. And so what the, what the, the guys, the astrologers, when they were trying to interpret it, they were probably thinking, why are we looking at denominations of money? Why, what, what does that have to do with anything? We have a lot of money. And Daniel was like, no, no, no. These are actually meant to be interpreted as verbs that you. God has numbered the days of your kingdom mene and he's brought it to an end. In other words, your time's up, the countdown is over. God has been keeping track and, and the account is closed. Mene, mene and teel means weighed it. You have been weighed in the balance and found wanting. In other words, God put you on the scales of his justice. And you didn't measure up. You're lacking, you're inefficient, divided Perez or Parson. Your kingdom is divided and it's given to the Meads and the Persians, and, and what you thought was secure as being torn apart and handed to your enemies, and then that very night he's killed. It happens the exact way that Daniel said it would. It's one of the most iconic moments in scripture. Bel keeps his word and promotes Daniel to the third ruler of the kingdom, and that only exists for a few hours because the kingdom's overtaken. And what this is a reminder is that in the face of God's judgment, rewards, and honor and promotion, they're meaningless. They're hollow. That if you put your hope and all those things, it'll fade away. Every empire has an expiration date. Babylon was overtaken by the Meads and the Persians. They were overtaken by Greece. They were overtaken by Rome. Every empire that has ever risen eventually false and history is littered with kingdoms that they, that thought they would last forever and they didn't. There's really only one Keenan that lasts forever. And so Daniel five is real. Is this, it ends in judgment, but I want you to know that it, that it points to grace. And in Luke chapter 11, in Luke chapter 11, Jesus references his miracles being like the finger of God. It's really remarkable that all throughout the scripture, whenever it talks about God's finger, it's this indication that God and his power and his graces, it's this direct. Communication with people and, and Jesus claims to be the, the finger of God. And that is so remarkable. It's significant because in Jesus, we're given a message just as serious that belches are received. The question is, it's like, will you listen to that warning of judgment? The message is obvious. It's the same one. Me, me, your days are numbered. I don't know if you know this or not. But graveyards are like undefeated. Like I got a friend who owns a funeral home. Dude will always be in business until heaven. Then he's out. You know what I'm saying? Like, like it's, you're gonna die one day. It's just, it's just the way that it goes. Graveyards are undefeated. It's appointed that you're gonna die. The day is appointed for you. You may not know the day, like. Bels. Hazar did. He was told that day. But your death is just as certain as his tewell. You've been weighed on the divine scales. All of us. Billy Graham, mother, Theresa, you, me, my mom. Your mom, my kids. Your kids. All of us. Were all found deficient. Now you've been weighed and you're found deficient against just one commandment, and then Perez, your kingdom, your life is gonna be taken from you. This is what scripture says, by the way, that you've fallen short of the glory of God and it's, and you are due wages for your sin, and the wages are death. The writing is on the wall for you, and it's always been there. And there's been people who have been trying to tell you over and over again that the writing is on the wall for you, but here's the truth. Jesus has constantly been drawing your heart because he doesn't want you to perish. He doesn't want you to experience the judgment of God. He wants you to repent and come back to him because on the cross, he experienced God's wrath for you. He experienced God's judgment in your place and the cross screams, I knew you were gonna mess up. You've ha your sin has not caught God off, off guard. He knows what you are going to do, what you did do and what you will do. Like you can never be righteous enough. And what Jesus offered you was substitution. He offered to take your place and that's what he did. And Jesus did not come like other religious leaders to try to make you a better person. He came to take your place under divine judgment. He came to die for you. That's what he did. And so at the cross, like understand at the cross, the holy God who wrote judgment on Babylon's wall ultimately writes mercy and blood on a Roman cross. I mean, think about it like we, all of our days have been numbered. Our days are counted. We've all been weighed and we've all been found wanting like we are sinners in desperate need of grace. We've all been divided. We've all been separated by God or separated from God because of our sin, but through Jesus Christ, this is gonna be your story Today. It's through Jesus Christ. You can be forgiven instead of numbered for judgment, you can be filled with his righteousness instead of being found one 10th, like you can be united with God instead of being divided from him because God really did. Send the one who knew no sin, Jesus to become sin so that you might be made the righteousness of God. And that's really good news for people like you and me. And so I don't know where you are on your journey. I don't know where you are in your relationship with God, but I know for sure is that the writing on the wall really is a for all is is found for all of us. God has told us in his word. That when Jesus died on the cross and rose from the dead and, and that there's coming a day that he'll judge the world. And I'm not trying to scare you with judgment. I'm not trying to scare you with judgment. I just know that when Jesus came, he came. So you don't have to experience God's wrath. And that's really good news for people like you and me. And the way that you enter into a relationship with God is not by this big religious checkbox. It's not by trying to to muster your enough, enough religious weight up or religious duty or religious activity. No, no, no. The way that you enter into a relationship with God is repent of your sin. In other words, recognize that you're not the king of the universe, so you bow your knee to King Jesus. You repent, and then you put your faith in him. You trust him, you follow him. When you, when you repent of your sin and you trust him and you believe, then all of a sudden you were given Jesus' righteousness and instead of being found one thing like you, now your clothed with the righteousness of God. And when God's judgment comes, Jesus is there. And he's saying that's He's mine. Mine. And so if you'll bow with me, I don't know where you are. But some of you in the room, you need to learn from history today that you need to come to the end of yourself and trust in Christ. Most judgment is coming. We don't know the day, but we know what's going to happen and when it happens. C. S Lewis was right, that God is going to look and there's gonna be two people, two groups of people. One group who surrendered their need to King Jesus who are following him and they're all shouting, God, thy will be done. And the other group, God's gonna look at them and say, fine, have it your way. Thy will be.
