Daniel 5:21 "He was also driven away from mankind, and his heart was made like that of beasts, and his dwelling place was with the wild donkeys. He was given grass to eat like cattle, and his body was drenched with the dew of heaven, until he recognized that the Most High God is ruler over the realm of mankind, and that He sets over it whomever He wishes.
I have been telling my wife and others that all of this is the "...finger of God...." because of the sins of the nation. I am reminded of Genghis Khan's famous quote:
“I am the punishment of God...If you had not committed great sins, God would not have sent a punishment like me upon you.”
~Genghis Khan
May as well ping him...
I love this thread, the story, links to verses (love the NKJV audio!), artwork, and study. Thank you!
The king and his entire administration and host of hangers-on -- in all their fancy apparel -- had zero clue that they needed to change into something nice. Nice people take care of things. And that includes the possessions of other people.
Imagine what the hotel rooms must have looked like after they checked out!
Daniel began the interpretation with a little history lesson, but none of the "noble kings and princes" could tell time. That's what they got for bowing to Puff the Magic Dragon and Jackie, as the two passed them by.
As I mentioned on some recent post around here, Rush Limbaugh (the man who was 70) passed on Ash Wednesday, which marked the beginning of 40 days of Lent, when a lot of people are marked with a cross of ashes on their foreheads.
And as I explained on another more recent post, the Torah begins with Rush.
Perseverance landed the day after Rush's passing, only to begin its mission.
All in the timing, after a 203-day journey (explained on that same post) in order to arrive at the beginning inside Jezreel er Jezero Crater, marking Mars-Day zero, "Sol 0".
And to add more re the time marking the beginning of the end, Rush's name reads the same as r'osh Limbo, the "beginning of limbo".
Adam:
"A long-standing nickname for Mars is the "Red Planet". That is also the planet's name in Hebrew, מאדים ma'adim, which is derived from אדום adom, meaning 'red'."
(Wokipedia - Mars)

At least the Queen knew whom to call and why. She was present for a reason apart from the others.
Perseverance:
Mark 13
13 And ye shall be hated of all men for my name's sake: but he that shall endure unto the end, the same shall be saved.
14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
Judea: Roman province Not to be confused with the geographical region of Judea.
The people wanting to take the journey to the top (r'osh) of the mountain know the experience is not the same as reading descriptions from a book or a travel blogger.
It's the rush of a mighty wind, for starters.
It's an individual, Sol O journey of discovery, not the same as some other guy's, yet...
... when everyone gathers around the campfire after a long day of climbing, it's one shared experience of individual journeys. All together, yet no two alike.
Hi Dan!

Thank you for your ministry. The pictures make the Bible stories come alive.
