In Daniel 5, Belshazzar, Nebuchadnezzar's grandson, reigns as a co-regent with Nabonidus (his father) 24 years after Nebuchadnezzar's death. (Daniel 5:1) It has been roughly 70 years since the capture of Jerusalem. And Daniel is now at least 80 years old, retired from service, and most forgotten. (Daniel 5:10-12) Until the queen mother suggested that Belshazzar’s call Daniel to translate God’s message to the prideful king.

The Medo-Persian army has surrounded and is going to siege Babylon. Despite this, Belshazzar is hosting a party at his palace for a thousand of his friends. He profaned the Holy Objects looted from the Jerusalem temple decades earlier to drink wine and glorify false gods. (Daniel 5:1-4) Suddenly Belshazzar is terrified by the appearance of the fingers of a man's handwriting on the plaster: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, PERES. (Daniel 5:5-6, 24-29)

The king's wise men could not interpret the meaning of God’s message not being God’s messenger. Daniel reads the writing to the king and makes known its interpretation. (Daniel 5:17-22) Daniel reminded Belshazzar of the sovereignty of Yahweh in dealing with Nebuchadnezzar. It was this sovereign God who put the writing on the wall. For the Most High God rules in the kingdom of men and that He appoints and sets over it whomever He will. (Daniel 4:17, Daniel 5:19)
