What was the hand writing on the wall nebuchadnezzar saw?

No. Belshazzar, his son, became king when God wrote the message on the wall. The message said: MENE (mai-nai), MENE, TEKEL (tai-kel), UPHARSIN (ue-fair-sin). MENE means 'numbered', TEKEL means 'weighed', UPHARSIN means 'divided'. So MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN means 'numbered, numbered, weighed, divided.' That night, Belshazzar with beheaded by the Medes, as Daniel predicted, and Darius the king of the Medes became king over the Babylonians and Jews. After he was beheaded and his head with put on a spear so were his advisors and head servants, both stewards and maids, but the princes and magus (magicians) and ministers remained alive. Later they are put in the lions' den with their children and wives.


What does 'The handwriting is on the wall' mean?

It means that it seems (somewhat) obvious that something (usually something bad) is about to happen.This is from the book of Daniel in the Bible when a hand appeared and wrote on the wall of king Belshazzar as he in a drunken party praised the gods of gold, silver, brass and wood.Daniel was brought and translated the writing of as "MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN."This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it. TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting. PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.So it means basically, "Judgment is at near."
