Chapter 4 concludes Daniel's account of Nebuchadnezzar's reign. Chapter 5 begins a few decades later with the account of the last day's of Belshazzar's reign (as coregent with King Nabonidus). When the hand of God interrupts a feast with a message of prophecy and judgment, Daniel is identified as one who can interpret the divine message.
