So we're in a series called the Kings of Babylon and we're talking about the four kings that reined during the seven year exile when Israel was in captivity of Babylon.

And today we're going to talk about Bel-Chazar. Now let me just

let you know if you do some study on this, that Bel-Chazar was ruling, he's Daniel Chapter 5, we read Daniel 1 through 4 last week, parts of it,

but he actually wasn't the King, he was the crown prince. The king was Nabonidas. Let me say it again,

Nabonidas. Nabonidas was actually though traveling most of the time and building

altars for the God little G of sin that sin. That was the name of the God he served sin and he traveled around

Arabia for about 10 years doing that, mainly in Arabia, but he traveled other places.

So he put his son in as the king, a Babylon and he was called the king,

but actually, Nabonades was the key.

Does everyone follow me? Okay, so the Bible tells us about

Bell-Chazar because Bell-Chazar from 556 BC to 539 BC was the king, 17 years

even though his father was actually king but his mother was

Nebakanezer's daughter so he's the grandson of Nebakanezer that we started with

last week.

So what we're actually going to do is Daniel 5 is so good we're going to read the whole chapter.

And I'm going to make comments throughout it.

Isn't that something though that in church,

we're going to read the Bible?

So I was talking to one of the guest speakers and he said,

do you have any requests?

I said, just make sure you read the Bible.

So just make sure somewhere you get the Bible.
