Belshazzar Rewards Daniel: Daniel 5 v 29

Image result for Belshazzar rewards DanielDaniel 5:29 "Then commanded Belshazzar, and they clothed Daniel with scarlet, and [put] a chain of gold about his neck, and made a proclamation concerning him, that he should be the third ruler in the kingdom."

How blind man can actually be. Belshazzar was indeed a proud man. He was more interested in showing off how wealthy He is by given Daniel what He had promised. True repentance brings a man to his knees: to Belshazzar that does not matter to him at this point. Belshazzar should have repented and called upon God as his Father Nebuchadnezzar did. Daniel had not asked for these gifts, but Belshazzar gave them anyway. One thing we must realize here, Belshazzar did not reject the interpretation of Daniel. He knew what Daniel said was true that was why He rewarded Daniel.
