Commentary on Daniel 5:26
Daniel interprets MENE: 'God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.' The verb 'numbered' (Aramaic: menah) means God has calculated, assessed, and completed Belshazzar's allotted time. The paired verbs 'numbered and finished' emphasize both divine sovereignty (God sets the limit) and completed fulfillment (time is up). God doesn't arbitrarily end the kingdom—He counts out the predetermined time and brings it to appointed conclusion. This reveals that all human kingdoms exist within divine timetables. Political structures don't collapse randomly; they reach divinely appointed ends.
