“PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.”
Daniel 5:28 (KJV)
Commentary on Daniel 5:28
Daniel interprets PERES (singular of UPHARSIN): 'Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.' The wordplay on PERES is brilliant—the root means both 'divided' and contains consonants of 'Persia' (Paras). God pronounces judgment while naming the executors. The passive voice 'is given' indicates divine agency—God actively transfers the kingdom. The specific identification of 'Medes and Persians' shows this isn't merely prediction of defeat but revelation of God's sovereign plan. He doesn't merely foresee Babylon's fall; He ordains it and assigns the successor empire.
