The Writing Is on the Wall: "...your kingdom is given to the Medes and Persians"
The Bible depicts Belshazzar as an arrogant ruler. He ordered the sacred Temple vessels to be brought to his palace for a gala banquet, and he profaned them by using them as common drinking cups, toasting and praising his pagan gods. At the banquet, Daniel relates in Chapter 5 verses 5 and 6:
Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lampstand in the royal palace. The king’s face darkened, and his thoughts alarmed him; the joints of his loins were loosened and his knees knocked together.
The writing was on the wall for Belshazzar.
Daniel interpreted the cryptic message for him:
Mene Mene Tekel Upharsin
G-d has numbered your days, you have been weighed and found wanting, your kingdom will be divided and given to the Medes and the Persians
