Lord of Heaven as Judge
But hast lifted up thyself against the Lord of heaven; and they have brought the vessels of his house before thee, and thou, and thy lords, thy wives, and thy concubines, have drunk wine in them; and thou hast praised the gods of silver, and gold, of brass, iron, wood, and stone, which see not, nor hear, nor know: and the God in whose hand thy breath is, and whose are all thy ways, hast thou not glorified: Daniel 5:23–24
The vessels belonged to the house of the God of Israel, Jehovah, and He sends the hand that writes the king's judgment. Latter-day Saints understand that the Father has committed all judgment to the Son, so the One who weighs Belshazzar and finds him wanting is the Lord Jesus Christ.
How we know: Jehovah is the premortal Christ (Abraham 1:16; D&C 110:3–4)
- interpreted by John 5:22 — The Father judgeth no man, but hath committed all judgment unto the Son.
