Daniel 5:26 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 5:26

This is the interpretation of the thing
Or, "word" ^F26; for they might all seem as one word; or this is the sense of the whole: MENE;
as for this word, it signifies, God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it;
God had fixed the number of years, how long that monarchy should last, which he was now at the head of, and which was foretold, ( Jeremiah 25:1 Jeremiah 25:11 Jeremiah 25:12 ) ( 27:7 ) , and also the number of years that he should reign over it; and both these numbers were now completed; for that very night Belshazzar was slain, and the kingdom translated to another people: and a dreadful thing it is to be numbered to the sword, famine, and pestilence, or any sore judgment of God for sin, as sometimes men are; so more especially to be appointed to everlasting wrath, and to be numbered among transgressors, among the devils and damned in hell.
