“What If the Handwriting Is Already on the Wall?” December 1
Imagine sitting at a party when suddenly a hand appears out of nowhere and begins writing on the wall.
No body.
No explanation.
Just fingers writing a message no one can understand.
That is exactly what happened at Belshazzar’s feast.
The king had been drinking, mocking the things of God, and living as though his power and position made him untouchable.
Then God wrote His verdict on the wall.
And before the night was over, Belshazzar was dead and his kingdom was gone.
We may never see supernatural handwriting appear on the walls of our homes, businesses, or government buildings.
But that doesn’t mean God has been silent.
He has already written His warnings in His Word.
And today’s New Testament reading contains another warning—this one about false teachers whose message can be especially dangerous because it doesn’t always sound obviously false.
Sometimes error comes wrapped in just enough truth to make it believable.
So how can we recognize it?
And could we be ignoring warnings that God has already clearly given?
