I’ve often wondered if Belshazzar had not called for the Temple utensils, would he have been overthrown.
But the Medes and Persians were already in the city, having gone under the grates over the river, by damming the river upstream so the water level fell...............
Heads up!
God has numbered your days, Belshazzar!!!
Grandiose painting by Martin at #28, magnificent Dore’. I also like #24 and #26. Thank you, Dan!
Hhhmmm....I would like to add #30 to my collection.
Will you take cats for trade?
Rembrandt for the win! The pop-eyed Belshazzar is perfect for this scene.
That said, I had to look up Mene, Mene Tekel Upharsin in the original Hebrew:

And this [is] the writing

You see, I’m learning Hebrew by writing the Bible down in Hebrew and then I copy the transliteration. I’ve made progress. I know the alphabet, some of the vowel markings, and some of the words.
I’ve copied Psalms 1, 2, 3, 112, and 119 and Genesis 1, 2, 3 so far.
Here’s the link to the Hebrew interlinear I’m copying: https://scripture4all.org/OnlineInterlinear/OTpdf/dan5.pdf
