The Writing on the Wall:
A Mysterious Message:
The prophet Daniel was an interpreter of dreams and messages. He can be considered the first cryptanalyst -- he found meaning where others could not.
During a feast thrown by King Belshazzar of Babylon, Aramaic words were written on the wall by a disembodied hand. Only Danie could interpret their meaning -- that God had NUMBERED the king's days. WEIGHED him and found him wanting, and would divide his kingdom between the PERSIANS (and Medes). Daniel understood that the unworthy king would be defeated that evening, and his kingdom partitioned. THe prophecy came true. |
