The phrase "the writing is on the wall" refers to an impending sense of doom or an unavoidable fate, often indicating that negative outcomes are evident and that one should recognize them. It originates from the biblical story in which mysterious writing foretells the downfall of the Babylonian king Belshazzar. In modern usage, it suggests that clear signs or warnings are present, indicating that a situation is likely to deteriorate or lead to failure.
