Pride and Arrogance Deceives You!!!

“Then the hand was sent from the presence [of the Most High God], and this inscription was written: ‘This is the inscription that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN [numbered, numbered, weighed, and divided].’ This is the interpretation of the message: ‘MENE’—God has numbered the days of your kingdom and put an end to it; ‘TEKEL’—you have been weighed on the scales [of righteousness] and found deficient (wanting, egregiously lacking); ‘PERES’—your kingdom has been divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.’

“Then Belshazzar gave the command, and Daniel was clothed with purple and a chain of gold was put around his neck, and a proclamation was issued [declaring] that he now had authority as the third ruler in the kingdom. (Here is the swiftness of his judgment, as this king still did not acknowledge God, nor did he repent of his evil.) During the same night Belshazzar the [last] Chaldean king was slain [by troops of the invading army]” (Daniel 5: 23-30, AMP).

As a nation you are warned in Isaiah 47: 8-11, as it is also written in the Book of Revelation. Because this is the cadence, the pride of this country, even in the midst of judgment. (Anyone who says that this is not how a prideful people think and speak, are deliberately ignorant.)

“To the degree that she glorified herself and reveled and gloated in her sensuality [living deliciously and luxuriously], to that same degree impose on her torment and anguish, and mourning and grief; for in her heart she boasts, ‘I SIT AS A QUEEN [on a throne] AND I AM NOT A WIDOW, (says the one, whose leaders are deliberately isolating you, to break and enslave you in preparation for the kings of the east that are coming) and will never, ever see mourning or experience grief.’

“For this reason in a single day her plagues (afflictions, calamities) will come, pestilence and mournings and famine, and she will be burned up with fire and completely consumed (destroyed); for strong and powerful is the LORD God who judges her” (Revelation 18: 7-8, AMP).
