1. Belshazzar —Good Hebrew manuscripts have "Belshazzar"; meaning "Bel is to be burnt with hostile fire" ( Jeremiah 50:2 ; Jeremiah 51:44 ). In the history he is called by his ordinary name; in the prophecy, which gives his true destiny, he is called a corresponding name, by the change of a letter. visions of his head —not confused "dreams," but distinct images seen while his mind was collected. sum —a "summary." In predictions, generally, details are not given so fully as to leave no scope for free agency, faith, and patient waiting for God manifesting His will in the event. He "wrote" it for the Church in all ages; he "told" it for the comfort of his captive fellow countrymen. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-2" class="com-number"
