00:00You need to hear this if you've ever wondered where the writings on the wall comes from.
00:04One strange night, a king threw a wild party, and the consequences were legendary.
00:11Back in ancient Babylon, King Belshazzar was partying hard, using sacred cups stolen from
00:16Jerusalem. Suddenly, a mysterious hand appeared and wrote four strange words on the wall.
00:22Mene, Mene, Tekel, Uparsin. No one could crack the code, except Daniel, who revealed it was a message
00:30from God. Mene means numbered. Belshazzar's days as king were up. Tekel means weighed. He'd been judged
00:38and found lacking. And Uparsin means divided. His kingdom was about to be split and conquered.
00:44That very night, Belshazzar lost everything. Today, when people say the handwriting on the wall,
00:50they mean an obvious sign that trouble's coming, just like in this ancient story.
00:55So next time you spot a warning sign, remember, it might just be your own Mene, Mene, Tekel, Uparsin.
