September 21 — The Writing on the Wall and Daniel's Prayer — Chronological Audio Bible Reading | Daniel 5; 9 | Resolved to Read
In today's reading from Daniel 5:1–31 and 9:1–27, a proud king throws a feast with the sacred vessels of God's temple and watches a hand write his judgment on the wall — that very night Babylon falls, just as the prophets foretold. In sharp contrast, Daniel turns to the Scriptures, discovers from Jeremiah that seventy years of exile are nearly complete, and responds not with celebration but with fasting, confession, and intercession for his people. God answers with the remarkable prophecy of the seventy "sevens," pointing ahead to the Anointed One who would be cut off for the sins of many. These chapters remind us that God humbles the proud, keeps His word to the very day, and invites us to respond to His promises the way Daniel did — on our knees, hungry for His Word, and pleading for mercy.
