Luke 11 1 13 sermon writer2/3/2024 Then to top it all off, according to reports, Hitler was apparently relieved when the news came his way that the invasion had taken place. He thought the real invasion would happen elsewhere, so he refused to send reinforcements. When Hitler finally woke and learned of the invasion, he didn’t think it was the real thing because he had bought hook, line, and sinker the Allies’ deception campaign. When the reports of this invasion began flooding into German HQ, the response, for a number of reasons, was lacking from the Germans.įor one thing, the necessary reinforcements weren’t able to be called up in time because the only person who was able to act, Hitler, was busy sleeping and nobody was brave enough to wake him. On June 6, 1944, the famous date, all of these factors came to a head when the Allies invaded in western Europe at Normandy. He considered them militarily inferior to his own forces. All to convince Hitler that the impending invasion of Western Europe was to happen in the French city of Calais, rather than where it did eventually happen in Normandy.ĭespite that virtually everyone knew that the Allies were going to invade western Europe at some point, Hitler was convinced that the defenses that he had constructed all along the northern French coast were more than enough to repel any invasion that the Allies could throw at him. Among other measures, the Allies had strategically placed inflatable dummy tanks on the south coast of England and employed double agents to report back to the German hierarchy. In the months leading up to the Allied invasion of Normandy in World War Two, historians tell us that the Allies had launched this successful deception campaign against Germany and the Axis powers. 9 Then King Belshazzar was greatly alarmed, and his color changed, and his lords were perplexed. Daniel 5:1-9, ESV The king declared to the wise men of Babylon, “Whoever reads this writing, and shows me its interpretation, shall be clothed with purple and have a chain of gold around his neck and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.” 8 Then all the king’s wise men came in, but they could not read the writing or make known to the king the interpretation. 7 The king called loudly to bring in the enchanters, the Chaldeans, and the astrologers. 6 Then the king’s color changed, and his thoughts alarmed him his limbs gave way, and his knees knocked together. 4 They drank wine and praised the gods of gold and silver, bronze, iron, wood, and stone.ĥ Immediately the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall of the king’s palace, opposite the lampstand. 3 Then they brought in the golden vessels that had been taken out of the temple, the house of God in Jerusalem, and the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines drank from them. We are going to begin by reading the first nine verses, but as we work through the text, we will be reading all of it.ġ King Belshazzar made a great feast for a thousand of his lords and drank wine in front of the thousand.Ģ Belshazzar, when he tasted the wine, commanded that the vessels of gold and of silver that Nebuchadnezzar his father had taken out of the temple in Jerusalem be brought, that the king and his lords, his wives, and his concubines might drink from them. Once again, we’ve done this for a few weeks now, since this is a longer text, we will be covering this text in sections. Today we will be studying Daniel chapter five, the famous writing on the wall passage.
