In the same hour came forth fingers of a man’s hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king’s palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote.
Then the king’s countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.
The king cried aloud to bring in the astrologers, the Chaldeans, and the soothsayers. And the king spake, and said to the wise men of Babylon, Whosoever shall read this writing, and shew me the interpretation thereof, shall be clothed with scarlet, and have a chain of gold about his neck, and shall be the third ruler in the kingdom.
Then came in all the king’s wise men: but they could not read the writing, nor make known to the king the interpretation thereof.
Pony Express
A mail service delivering messages, newspapers, and mail using relays of horse-mounted riders that operated from April 3, 1860, to October 26, 1861, between Missouri and California in the United States of America.
When replaced by the telegraph, the Pony Express quickly became romanticized and became part of the lore of the American West.
There is another mail system older than the pony express, and even to this day nothing can come even close to it delivery. To many today the sender is unknown and point of origin unknown.
Introduction: Expound on the story
Mene Mene
As to the words being in Aramaic, they are translations of the original words in some unknown language.
MENE, MENE, meaning numbered, numbered, i.e. repeated for the sake of emphasis. God has numbered your kingdom, and it is finished.
Seeing his days are determined,
The number of his months are with thee,
Thou hast appointed his bounds that he cannot pass;
Lord, Make me to know mine end,
And the measure of my days, what it is;
That I may know how frail I am.
And as it is appointed unto men once to die, but after this the judgment:
Tekel
TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
Meaning weighed. You are weighed in the balances, and are found lacking.
Talk no more so exceeding proudly;
Let not arrogancy come out of your mouth:
For the Lord is a God of knowledge,
And by him actions are weighed.
Weighed in the balance
To be judged insufficient or no having enough specified quality, lacking...
To consider the positive and negative implication of something very carefully, when making a decision.
Upharsin or Pharsin
PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Thy kingdom is divieded and given to the Medes and Persians.
The story of the talents
God took what he had given one and gave to someonelse more worthy of it.
Lookup is the handwriting on the walls ?
Let stop playing with the things of God and fulfill His plans for our lives.
