Written Judgement

Saturday 21 October
READ: Dan. 5:22-31   
MORE LESSON: Psa. 69:20-25

When the sentence on King Belshazzar was passed, his judgement was written by a hand on the wall for him and those who were with him to see. Even when he and his people could not interpret the handwriting, they knew the implication. That was why he was so troubled and the entire nation stood still until a man was sought to give the meaning of the writing and gave the interpretation. The same night the judgment was proclaimed, Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans was dethroned and slain. His kingship came to an end and another man took his place.

In the ancient world, whenever a judgement was passed and documented, it was irrevocable and must be executed. In the days of King Ahasuerus and Queen Esther in the Persian kingdom, the judgement contrived by Haman was documented. When the king discovered the error, he could not withdraw it even though Queen Esther pleaded for its reversal because it was already written. The king could only authorise another judgement to be written to empower the Jews to arise and defend themselves against the first judgement that had gone into circulation, Write ye also for the Jews, as it liketh you, in the king's name, and seal it with the king's ring: for the writing which is written in the king's name, and sealed with the king's ring, may no man reverse. Wherein the king granted the Jews which were in every city to gather themselves together, and to stand for their life, to destroy, to slay, and to cause to perish, all the power of the people and province that would assault them...and to take the spoil of them for a prey: Est.8:8,11. It was customary with the Romans to tag anyone they passed judgement on with a written code. That was why Pilate had to write on a plate “Jesus of Nazareth, the king of the Jews” and fixed it on Jesus’ cross.

There are judgements proclaimed and documented in the Holy Scripture concerning those who trouble your life and destiny. In Psalm 149:8-9 it is written, ...bind their kings with chains and their nobles with fetters of iron; to execute upon them the judgment written. In Psa. 35:4-7, the judgment reads, Let them be confounded and put to shame that seek after my soul: let them be turned back and brought to confusion that devise my hurt. Let them be as chaff before the wind: and let the angel of the LORD chase them. Let their way be dark and slippery: and let the angel of the LORD persecute them. For without cause have they hid for me their net in a pit, which without cause they have digged for my soul. Activate the written judgment over your matter today by proclaiming it in the name of Jesus and go on with your day. By night fall, you will hear news.

Prayer/Action
*Thank God for the written judgment for those who trouble my life. As You have written concerning them, let it be so now, in Jesus’ name.
*Declare that every force that opposes your destiny will go into captivity.
