Belshazzar was a co-regent of Nabonidus and lived in Babylon. He was derelict in his duties. On the night of his death he was hosting a huge party and drinking out of the gold and silver cups that had been taken from Jerusalem years before. Behind the Scenes God was working to crush the Babylonian kingdom and replace it with the Mede/Persian empire. As the party progressed God's finger wrote on the wall, "MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN."
