“MEME, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.” Does that sound familiar to you? Many people who have studied the Bible may relate these words to the Biblical account known as “the handwriting on the wall.” The story is found in the Book of Daniel, chapter 5. Almighty God used an intriguing message to pronounce His judgment on King Belshazzar and his Chaldean Empire. Can you imagine such a shocking experience? The king saw the fingers of a man’s hand writing on the wall of his palace! What can you and I learn from the Biblical handwriting on the wall? Our Eternal God has encapsulated His planned intervention in that part of the Bible that we call prophecy. For example, in recent days breaking news has announced the withdrawal of Great Britain from the European Union. Much of the world may have been at least somewhat shocked, but is there more significance than most people understand? It is easy to be lulled to sleep spiritually! Brethren, you and I must NOT allow that to happen to us!
