Portions: Daniel 5 - 7

"This is the inscription that was written:
Mene:  God has numbered the days of your reign
            and brought it to an end.
Tekel:  You have been weighed on the scales
            and found wanting.
Peres:  You kingdom is divided and given
            to the Medes and Persians."
(Daniel 5:25-28)

Then King Darius wrote to all the peoples,
nations and men of every language throughout the land:
"I issue a decree that in every part of my kingdom
people must fear and reverence the God of Daniel.
"For He is the living God and He endures forever;
His kingdom will not be destroyed,
His dominion will never end."
(Daniel 6:25-26)

"In my vision at night I looked,
and there before me was one like a Son of Man,
coming with the clouds of heaven.
He approached the Ancient of Days
and was led into His presence.
He was given authority, glory and sovereign power;
all peoples, nations and men of every language
worshiped Him.
His dominion is an everlasting dominion
that will not pass away,
and His kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.
(Daniel 7:13-14)
