A picture of the Great Babylon during the Tribulation
Daniel 4:19 Then Daniel, whose name was Belteshazzar, was astonied for one hour, and his thoughts troubled him. The king spake, and said, Belteshazzar, let not the dream, or the interpretation thereof, trouble thee. Belteshazzar answered and said, My lord, the dream be to them that hate thee, and the interpretation thereof to thine enemies. 20 The tree that thou sawest, which grew, and was strong, whose height reached unto the heaven, and the sight thereof to all the earth; 21 Whose leaves were fair, and the fruit thereof much, and in it was meat for all; under which the beasts of the field dwelt, and upon whose branches the fowls of the heaven had their habitation:
This can only refer to the US. You could never say that today this is referring to Iraq, or Jerusalem, or even the Vatican.
22 It is thou, O king, that art grown and become strong: for thy greatness is grown, and reacheth unto heaven, and thy dominion to the end of the earth.
Again, the dominion of the US has reached to the end of the earth.
23 And whereas the king saw a watcher and an holy one coming down from heaven, and saying, Hew the tree down, and destroy it; yet leave the stump of the roots thereof in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field; and let it be wet with the dew of heaven, and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him; 24 This is the interpretation, O king, and this is the decree of the most High, which is come upon my lord the king: 25 That they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field, and they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and they shall wet thee with the dew of heaven, and seven times shall pass over thee, till thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will.
This will happen to the US, they will be driven from the major cities on the coastlines to live in the fields and the wilderness.
26 And whereas they commanded to leave the stump of the tree roots; thy kingdom shall be sure unto thee, after that thou shalt have known that the heavens do rule.
The point of the judgement that will come is that everyone would know that the heavens do rule.
27 Wherefore, O king, let my counsel be acceptable unto thee, and break off thy sins by righteousness, and thine iniquities by shewing mercy to the poor; if it may be a lengthening of thy tranquillity.
Plead the Lord's blood, ask for forgiveness, forgive others, plead for mercy and be merciful to others.

The Kingdom is departed from thee
Daniel 4:28 All this came upon the king Nebuchadnezzar. 29 At the end of twelve months he walked in the palace of the kingdom of Babylon. 30 The king spake, and said, Is not this great Babylon, that I have built for the house of the kingdom by the might of my power, and for the honour of my majesty?
Pride goes before a fall.
31 While the word was in the king's mouth, there fell a voice from heaven, saying, O king Nebuchadnezzar, to thee it is spoken; The kingdom is departed from thee. 32 And they shall drive thee from men, and thy dwelling shall be with the beasts of the field: they shall make thee to eat grass as oxen, and seven times shall pass over thee, until thou know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever he will. 33 The same hour was the thing fulfilled upon Nebuchadnezzar: and he was driven from men, and did eat grass as oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven, till his hairs were grown like eagles' feathers, and his nails like birds' claws.
This fall takes 1 hour, just as it does in the book of Revelation. I think the voice from heaven is a reference to the trumpet at the rapture, there is a lot of evidence that at the same time as the rapture we will have the fall of Babylon, and the word "Harpazo" indicates the believers will be snatched out of the Earth just as this calamity falls.
The kingdom is departed from thee indicates the US will be overthrown and replaced by the beast system with the ten horns, BRICS, and seven heads of blasphemy (UAE has seven heads of seven cities, names of Blasphemy).

Waiting Patiently for The Blessing of the Lord
Haggai 2:18 Consider now from this day and upward, from the four and twentieth day of the ninth month, even from the day that the foundation of the Lord's temple was laid, consider it.
19 Is the seed yet in the barn? yea, as yet the vine, and the fig tree, and the pomegranate, and the olive tree, hath not brought forth: from this day will I bless you.
20 And again the word of the Lord came unto Haggai in the four and twentieth day of the month, saying,
21 Speak to Zerubbabel, governor of Judah, saying, I will shake the heavens and the earth;
22 And I will overthrow the throne of kingdoms, and I will destroy the strength of the kingdoms of the heathen; and I will overthrow the chariots, and those that ride in them; and the horses and their riders shall come down, every one by the sword of his brother.

Sometimes we don't see the forest because of the trees.
4 Beloved, believe not every spirit, but try the spirits whether they are of God: because many false prophets are gone out into the world.
2 Hereby know ye the Spirit of God: Every spirit that confesseth that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is of God:
3 And every spirit that confesseth not that Jesus Christ is come in the flesh is not of God: and this is that spirit of antichrist, whereof ye have heard that it should come; and even now already is it in the world.
There are more than a billion Muslims who deny that Jesus is the Christ, they believe a Mahdi will come from Tarshish (Britain). We also have the Jews who are looking for the Messiah to come while denying that Jesus is the Christ. We also have the Pope that is working with both Jews and Muslims to have a one world religion and the only ones they won't accept are Evangelical Christians who claim that Jesus is the way, the truth and the life, the only way to the Father. They do not confess that Jesus Christ has come in the flesh. Then we have a spirit that is infecting Evangelical churches to not talk about the rapture, don't talk about the Antichrist. So even though they can't push a full denial of Jesus Christ they can try to have many of the members uneducated.

Do not become a useless ministry
1John 4:4 Ye are of God, little children, and have overcome them: because greater is he that is in you, than he that is in the world.
They outnumber us, they control all the pressure points of power, money and influence. Remember what the Bible says "not by power, or by might but by my Spirit saith the Lord". We are ambassadors, the world is not ours, that is in the control of the evil one, however, we are here speaking a word and the Spirit will touch those that belong to the Spirit.
5 They are of the world: therefore speak they of the world, and the world heareth them.
Do not imitate the world. The reason massive crowds go to the Grammies, or a football game or a basketball game or a rock concert is because they are of the world. It is not because we should "learn of them". Do not imitate them, that will result in a mixture and a judgment from God.
6 We are of God: he that knoweth God heareth us; he that is not of God heareth not us. Hereby know we the spirit of truth, and the spirit of error.
This is the secret to your ministry. We are of God, he that knoweth God heareth us. It isn't because you are a great speaker, or have a great presentation. What you need is to make sure you are "of God". Think of the word you are speaking is like a magnet and it will attract any metal that is attracted to a magnet. The paper and plastic will not be attracted. Meanwhile the world is like fly paper that everything sticks to. If your ministry is like sticky paper it will be useless at finding the metal that God is looking for.

Here is an idea for a ministry
If you are burdened to get into ministry but don't know what to do.
1John 4:7 Beloved, let us love one another: for love is of God; and every one that loveth is born of God, and knoweth God.
8 He that loveth not knoweth not God; for God is love.
9 In this was manifested the love of God toward us, because that God sent his only begotten Son into the world, that we might live through him.
10 Herein is love, not that we loved God, but that he loved us, and sent his Son to be the propitiation for our sins.
11 Beloved, if God so loved us, we ought also to love one another.

Here is how you know if your Ministry is on point
1John 4:17 Herein is our love made perfect, that we may have boldness in the day of judgment: because as he is, so are we in this world.
When you see the day of judgement coming do you have boldness? Many "ministries" are trying to deny the Lord's judgement is coming. The prosperity gospel measures blessings materially, so the judgement coming will simply burn up into ashes everything they are claiming are "blessings from God". Many of these ministries are invested in the world, in political parties, in building something out of wood, hay and stubble. It will go up like a bonfire.
But some ministries have "boldness in the day of judgment". The world events right now are perfect for preaching the gospel, they are perfect for turning people to the gospel. The economy is perfect for causing people to need and appreciate someone who is feeding them and telling them to repent.

His countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
Daniel 5:1 Belshazzar the king made a great feast to a thousand of his lords, and drank wine before the thousand.
The name means "Bel protect the king", it is a reference to an idol protecting their kingdom. In the US the thing they think protects this nation is the reserve currency. The US can simply print money, every other country must work like slaves to earn something.
2 Belshazzar, whiles he tasted the wine, commanded to bring the golden and silver vessels which his father Nebuchadnezzar had taken out of the temple which was in Jerusalem; that the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, might drink therein.
Think of these vessels as people. Paul says that we have this treasure in earthen vessels. Humans are a vessel. What we are seeing with CRT and LGBTQ+ agenda, is a vile and corrupt leadership corrupting the precious vessels which were taken out of the temple. In the New Testament the church is the Temple of God. When you see transgender story hour and many of the other filthy things they are doing these days it is analogous to what we see here at the time of Daniel.
3 Then they brought the golden vessels that were taken out of the temple of the house of God which was at Jerusalem; and the king, and his princes, his wives, and his concubines, drank in them.
Rape, sodomy and perversion are all being perpetrated by this corrupt worldly system that lies in the evil one.
4 They drank wine, and praised the gods of gold, and of silver, of brass, of iron, of wood, and of stone.
The gods of gold would refer to central banks, the gods of silver would refer to high technology, gods of brass refer to war, gods of iron refer to industrial revolution, gods of wood refer to the way paper money is made, gods of stone refer to money made with coins.
5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Today this would be the internet and cyberspace. You can see the hand writing on this "wall".
6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
We always want the judgment to come so fast, but the Lord knows it is much better to be slow and deliberate, let these people sweat. It is called "liberal tears" and the "deep state meltdown" and "panic".
7 The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
These are all the talking heads on MSNBC. Morning Joe and all the other mouthpieces for the deep state.
8 Then came in all the king's wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
They have been wrong continuously for the last few years which is why their ratings have plummeted.
9 Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his countenance was changed in him, and his lords were astonied.
Think of how they thought that indicting Trump would hurt him only to see his ratings rise. They are completely "astonied" today. (confused, perplexed, astonished, and entangled)

We look at prophecies to know where we are and what is coming. I think the Biden presidency with the $5 trillion budgets and labelling parents at school board meetings as domestic terrorists, and the changing of the guard with Fox, MSNBC and CNN crashing while Steve Bannon, Dan Bongino and Steve Crowder have all replaced them as this orgy with the abuse of holy vessels and the writing on the wall. The meltdown of the liberal media over Trump's popularity despite indictments, that is verse 8, we are now in verse 9.
Two very different people
Daniel 5:10 Now the queen by reason of the words of the king and his lords came into the banquet house: and the queen spake and said, O king, live for ever: let not thy thoughts trouble thee, nor let thy countenance be changed: 11 There is a man in thy kingdom, in whom is the spirit of the holy gods; and in the days of thy father light and understanding and wisdom, like the wisdom of the gods, was found in him; whom the king Nebuchadnezzar thy father, the king, I say, thy father, made master of the magicians, astrologers, Chaldeans, and soothsayers; 12 Forasmuch as an excellent spirit, and knowledge, and understanding, interpreting of dreams, and shewing of hard sentences, and dissolving of doubts, were found in the same Daniel, whom the king named Belteshazzar: now let Daniel be called, and he will shew the interpretation.
Belteshazzar and Belshazzar are two very different people. One thinks that his idol money will protect the kingdom, the other is the "lord of the straightened treasure". The Bible is a treasure, the believers have been "straightened" so they can go through the eye of a needle.

Consider the contrast between Balaam and Daniel
Daniel 5:13 Then was Daniel brought in before the king. And the king spake and said unto Daniel, Art thou that Daniel, which art of the children of the captivity of Judah, whom the king my father brought out of Jewry?
14 I have even heard of thee, that the spirit of the gods is in thee, and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom is found in thee.
15 And now the wise men, the astrologers, have been brought in before me, that they should read this writing, and make known unto me the interpretation thereof: but they could not shew the interpretation of the thing:
16 And I have heard of thee, that thou canst make interpretations, and dissolve doubts: now if thou canst read the writing, and make known to me the interpretation thereof, thou shalt be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about thy neck, and shalt be the third ruler in the kingdom.
17 Then Daniel answered and said before the king, Let thy gifts be to thyself, and give thy rewards to another; yet I will read the writing unto the king, and make known to him the interpretation.
Balaam was a prophet for hire. Daniel is not. Balaam spoke the word of God but he also advised worldly rulers on how to bring down the people of God. Daniel is a servant of the most High God, not a servant of worldly rulers. God is a merciful God, the rain falls on the just and the unjust. Daniel is more than willing to speak the word of God to these evil rulers, we do not speak in secret, we are not a "secret society". Everything we say is in public, for all to see, all to read. We are not interested in the gifts that evil rulers will give, think of Gehazi, the servant of Elisha who took the gifts from Naaman and got the leprosy that Naaman was healed from. So be warned and be clear, if you are a servant of the Lord then you don't take gifts from these other rulers, that is corruption and you will be judged.

Do not flinch, do not pull your punches, speak the truth in love.
Daniel 5:18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
Remember how they mocked "Make America Great Again" saying "when was America ever great". Daniel is setting them straight, there was a time when America had the kingdom, majesty, glory and honour. After WW2 the entire world looked to the US as the kingdom that stood above all.
19 And for the majesty that he gave him, all people, nations, and languages, trembled and feared before him: whom he would he slew; and whom he would he kept alive; and whom he would he set up; and whom he would he put down.
The US did this in WW1 and WW2. It was absolutely clear to all other nations that the US military inspired fear into others. Germany and Japan were first rate militaries and the US demolished them. In the Pacific the Japanese lost 10 men for every US soldier that died. Eisenhower and Patton rolled up the Germans. The world trembled and feared before the US.
20 But when his heart was lifted up, and his mind hardened in pride, he was deposed from his kingly throne, and they took his glory from him:
JFK was assassinated, and then posers like LBJ took over resulting in our first defeat in Vietnam.
21 And he was driven from the sons of men; and his heart was made like the beasts, and his dwelling was with the wild asses: they fed him with grass like oxen, and his body was wet with the dew of heaven; till he knew that the most high God ruled in the kingdom of men, and that he appointeth over it whomsoever he will.
Bill Clinton was a wild ass of a man. Obama brought wild beasts into our government. George Bush sr was the head of the CIA and looked gentle and harmless except in the light of a full moon. His son could say Aw schucks and get away with it while behind the scenes Darth Vader ran the everything. They would kill 3,000 Americans in order to get a blank check for their drones and beast system military.
22 And thou his son, O Belshazzar, hast not humbled thine heart, though thou knewest all this;
Joe Biden knows all this.
23 But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: 24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
Daniel doesn't pull his punches. Everyone can see what the Biden administration has done and brought to the US. The judgement is written on the wall and Daniel is telling it to him straight.
Daniel 5:18 O thou king, the most high God gave Nebuchadnezzar thy father a kingdom, and majesty, and glory, and honour:
Remember how they mocked "Make America Great Again" saying "when was America ever great". Daniel is setting them straight, there was a time when America had the kingdom, majesty, glory and honour. After WW2 the entire world looked to the US as the kingdom that stood above all.

Breaking the code
Daniel 5:25 And this is the writing that was written, Mene, Mene, Tekel, Upharsin.
Chaldee language: "he hath numbered, he hath numbered, he hath weighed, they divide the kingdom";
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: Mene; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
So then Mene, mene means "God has numbered thy kingdom and finished it, God has numbered thy kingdom and finished it". There are two kingdoms that are numbered and finished. This is not simply referring to the kindom of darkness, we are also talking about the kingdom of light. Go look on Youtube, half of the stories are on how corrupt and evil the kingdom of darkness is, and that it is finished. The other half is on the rapture, and that this is the end of the church age.
27 Tekel; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
This is only said once, only one of these kingdoms is found wanting.
28 Peres; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Upharsin means "they divide" whereas Peres is the singular, one thing divided in half. But by going to the singular it is a play on words concerning the Persians.
In a world where you have censorship, shadow banning, de monetization, and all the other games the algorithms play you have to be circumspect about what you say. "He has numbered" is OK, but saying that the leaders of Babylon have been numbered, weighed and found wanting, that will get your channel deleted. Likewise with "he has weighed" and in the context of Bible teaching who knows what "they divide the kingdom" means.
They censor the news because they don't want you to know what is going on, but in the end they are the ones who don't know what is going on because everyone learns to speak in code.
