The Inner Meaning of the Prophets and Psalms # 176
176. Internal Meaning of Daniel, Chapter 5
1-4 Babylon profaned all things of heaven and of the church. (3)
5-6 It was perceived from the Word, that it was profane, (3)
7-9 but it was not perceived by the primates who were in that religion. (3)
10-24 It was confirmed by those who were in the truths of the church, that it was contrary to the Word for them to have exalted themselves above the Lord, and that thus they profaned things holy. (3)
25-28 That religion was at an end because there was no longer good and truth of the church. (3, 12)
29-30 Thus everything of the church there, came to an end. (3)
31 Worship of the Lord was thought about, as in the church. (2)
Daniel 5:7-9
7
The king cried aloud to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. The king spoke and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whoever shall read this writing, and show me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
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.
9
Then was king Belshazzar greatly troubled, and his face was changed in him, and his lords were perplexed.
