Daniel 5:5-6 ” Suddenly the fingers of a human hand appeared and wrote on the plaster of the wall, near the lamp-stand in the royal palace. The king watched the hand as it wrote. His face turned pale and he was so frightened that his knees knocked together and his legs gave way.”

King Belshazzar gave a huge banquet for a thousand of his closest nobles.  And while in a drunken stupor, he ordered the sacred goblets they had captured and taken from the Temple in Jerusalem to be used by this rowdy crowd.  It was while they were profaning these holy vessels that God doomed them…and thus that fateful saying was born – the writing on the wall.
