2. BABYLONIAN KINGDOM ONE OF THE FIVE GREAT KINGDOMS OF THE WORLD (DANIEL 7) SPANNED FROM MODERN DAY IRAQ TO NORTHERN AFRICA CAPITAL WAS BABYLON JUST SOUTH OF PRESENT DAY BAGDAD SITE OF THE TOWER OF BABEL IN BOOK OF GENESIS

4. THE WRITING ON THE WALL 5 In the same hour came forth fingers of a man's hand, and wrote over against the candlestick upon the plaister of the wall of the king's palace: and the king saw the part of the hand that wrote. 6 Then the king's countenance was changed, and his thoughts troubled him, so that the joints of his loins were loosed, and his knees smote one against another.

5. DANIEL: PROPHET OF RIGHTEOUSNESS

6. THE INTERPRETATION TILL THIS POINT THE MEANING OF THE VISION HAD BEEN CONCEALED IT WAS NOW ABOUT TO BE REVEALED AND BELSHAZZAR, BECAUSE OF HIS PRIDE AND ARROGANCE, WOULD NEVER BE THE SAME

7. DANIEL 4:17 “This matter is by the decree of the watchers, and the demand by the word of the holy ones: to the intent that the living may know that the most High ruleth in the kingdom of men, and giveth it to whomsoever He will, and setteth up over it the basest of men.”
