Daniel 5:1, “ King Belshazzar gave a big banquet for 1,000 royal guests. And he drank wine with them.” Some scholars have rejected the accuracy of this passage because other Babylonian records don’t mention Belshazzar. However we now know the Bible was correct, While Belshazzar was ruler in Babylon, his father was actually the king but ruled from a far away place. This is why he was only able to make Daniel the third highest ruler in the kingdom. Daniel 5:16, “ I have heard that you are able to explain what things mean. And you can find the answers to hard problems. Read this writing on the wall and explain it to me. If you can, I will give you purple clothes fit for a king. And I will put a gold chain around your neck. And you will become the third highest ruler in the kingdom.”
