Unveiling the Sovereignty of God: The Writing on the Wall
- Sermon By: Dennis Campbell
- Categories: Daniel, God's Sovereignty
Welcome to Duncannon Assembly of God’s YouTube channel! We examine truths from Scripture and uncover their relevance for our lives today. In Pastor Campbell’s sermon from March 10, 2024, he explores Daniel Chapter Five and discover insights into the sovereignty of God.
As we journey through the pages of Daniel’s ancient text, we encounter a world fraught with political intrigue, lavish feasts, and divine intervention. Against the backdrop of the mighty Babylonian Empire, we witness the rise and fall of kings and the clash of civilizations. Through these events we see the unfolding of God’s sovereign plan.
An Arrogant King
At the heart of this narrative is King Belshazzar. He’s a young and arrogant ruler who dares to defy the Almighty by defiling sacred vessels. He decided to throw a party amid impending doom. But as the celebration climaxes, a supernatural message appears on the palace wall, predicting the coming downfall of the Babylonian Empire.
Enter Daniel, the respected prophet of God. His wisdom and heavenly insight will reveal the divine hand directing events behind the scenes. Through Daniel’s interpretation of the message, we gain a deep insight into God’s sovereignty over the affairs of nations and individuals alike.
But this sermon is not just a historical exposition. It’s a living testament to the enduring relevance of God’s word in our lives today. As we grapple with our own challenges and uncertainties, we are confronted with the same fundamental truths that shaped the destiny of ancient empires:
- The reality of divine judgment
- The importance of humility before God
- The promise of redemption through faith in Christ
These truths are not distant echoes of the past but living, breathing principles. They can guide today us in our daily lives.

Daniel’s interpretations that he gave to Nebuchadnezzar and Belshazzar hinted at future events. Some have already occurred, and others are yet to come. The book of Revelation gives insight into the future, and you can learn more about it in Pastor’s sermons like Biblical Perspective on End Times Deception: Are You Prepared? and Lifted to the Heavenly Throne of God: John’s Unforgettable Revelation.
