Bible Literacy Foundation Season 3 Episode 219

NOTICE: All existing episodes will be moved to Season 1 on December 20.

In this episode, we delve into the stories of Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar, two Babylonian kings who faced God's judgment. We examine Nebuchadnezzar's 7-year humiliation and eventual acknowledgment of God's sovereignty. We discuss Belshazzar's misuse of sacred items from the Jerusalem Temple during a feast, which leads to his downfall and the end of his kingdom. The Babylonian Empire falls and the Medo-Persian Empire rises. Soon, Cyrus king of Persia issues an edict allowing the return of the exiles to the Land of Canaan.

Readings: Daniel 4:28-37, Daniel 5:1-31, 2 Chronicles 36:22-23, Hebrews 12:5-11
