The Antichrist?

[An Old Man]

The prophecy is found in Daniel chapter 5 and the surface meaning of the handwriting of God incident is provided in the verses Daniel 5:25-28.

Dan 5:25 And this is the inscription that was written:

MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.

:26 This is the interpretation of each word. MENE: God has numbered your kingdom, and finished it;

:27 TEKEL: You have been weighed in the balances, and found wanting;

:28 PERES: Your kingdom has been divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.

Most prophetic scriptures clearly portray a time dimension. This prophecy cleverly hides its prophetic nature behind the narrative.

To fully understand this prophecy it is necessary to look at the meanings of the words.
