Sunday School Lady explains the origins of the saying “the writing’s on the wall” – it comes from the book of Daniel! From Buck Denver Asks What’s in the Bible? Volume 9: God Speaks! [Isaiah, Jeremiah & The Prophets].

Later on when King Belshazzar, the very last king of Babylon was having a huge feast in his palace, a hand appeared in mid-air and wrote a message on the wall! They were terrified and they couldn’t figure out what it said! Finally they called in Daniel – who explained that the message said Belshazzar’s rein as king was ending. And that very night Belshazzar was killed and the Persians and Medes took over Babylon!
