Commentary on Daniel 5:30

Judgment strikes immediately: 'In that night was Belshazzar the king of the Chaldeans slain.' The timing 'in that night'—the same night as the feast and writing—emphasizes immediate fulfillment. No delay, no opportunity for repentance (unlike Nebuchadnezzar who had twelve months, 4:29). Belshazzar's death represents the kingdom's end. The verse's brevity mirrors the judgment's swiftness—one moment feasting in apparent security, next moment dead and kingdom transferred. This demonstrates that God's patience has limits; there comes a time when judgment cannot be delayed further.
