Writing on the wall

Jan 12, 2022 Letters

Dear Editor,

Kaieteur News – THE WRITING IS ON THE WALL and it’s happening right before our very eyes. Every Guyanese, young and old, should take absolute note of what is happening to us. Our present Government must unabashedly think the populace of Guyana (except for a few), are complete idiots. First, they borrow millions of US dollars from the Chinese. Then they do away with the safe keeping laws of our Natural Resources Fund by the previous Government and implement their own, “no jail time” law for the misuse of our oil money. Rush the NRF Bill through Parliament and now they want to accelerate development of the Stabroek oil block. Is President Ali and VP Jagdeo serious? Are they so blinded by their own conceit that they think the rest of this nation are all ignoramuses. Heaven help this nation as we pray for guidance from above. There is a God in heaven who hears the prayers of all who seek HIM.
The original story of the writing on the wall can be found in the Bible chapter 5 in the Book of Daniel), and tells how Belshazzar holds a great feast and drinks from the vessels that had been looted in the destruction of the First Temple. A hand appears and writes on the wall. The terrified Belshazzar calls for his wise men, but they are unable to read the writing. The queen advises him to send for Daniel, renowned for his wisdom. Daniel reminds Belshazzar that his father Nebuchadnezzar, when he became arrogant, was thrown down until he learned that God has sovereignty over the kingdom of men (see Daniel 4). Belshazzar had likewise blasphemed God, and so God sent this hand. Daniel then reads the message and interprets it: God has numbered Belshazzar’s days. He has been weighed and found wanting, and his kingdom will be given to the Medes and the Persians.

Yours truly,
Gloria Holder
