Belshazzar’s Banquet sermon on the wall writing and doom
The sermon recounts Nebuchadnezzar’s Babylonian feast as told by Talmage in Brooklyn. It contrasts revelry with divine judgment, drawing on Daniel’s writing on the wall and warning young readers to accept Christ. It links Belshazzar’s fate to national conscience amid Civil War era concerns.
