a. True
b. False

Answer 1

Answer:

True

Explanation:

According to the books of Daniel, during an extravagant banquet, King Belshazzar saw a divine handwritten message ( mene, mene, tekel, upharsin ) that appeared on the plaster wall of the palace after Belshazzar desecrated the temple vessels taken from Jerusalem by his father. The written words found on the wall were translated by prophet Daniel to mean that his kingdom had been numbered, weighed, and divided ( daniel 5:25-28). The prophet Daniel analysis and interprets the written words for king Belshazzar as God's judgment on the king MENE: God has numbered the days of his kingdom and brought it to an end

TEKEL: You have been weighed on the scales and found wanting

PERES: your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians.

It came to pass that very night that his kingdom was taken by the  Medes and Persians.
