"WOE UNTO THEM . . (No. 1)— The Word of God contains His pronouncement of dire judgments for iniquity. Drunkenness is specially mentioned in this connection by the prophet Isaiah: "Woe unto them that are mighty to drink wine, and men of strength to mingle strong drink" (isiah 5:22). History gives many striking illustrations of the fact that drunkenness has brought "woe" upon many a whole nation. Do you remember Belshazzar's feast? In B.C. sl}<B the city of Babylon was given over to revelling j and the king leading. Then came the desecration of the .consecrated vessels taken from the temple at Jerusalem followed by the judgment of God, given in such a way that the king's knees smote together: "Thou art weighed in the balance and art found wanting." That very night the blood ol' Belshazzar mingled with the wine on the floor, and the. great Babylon was 110 longer an empire—in their drunkenness they fell to the Medes and Persians.
