Persia and Medes takes over

Taking a look the book of Daniel and Chapter 5

After the death of King Nebuchadnezzar, his "son" Belshazzar took over the kingdom. Now during this time King Belshazzar was feasting with his royal subjects when he then orders for them to bring the gold and silver goblets that his father Nebuchadnezzar had took from the temple in Jerusalem. Now as Belshazzar is feasting with the nobles and the officials they are worshiping their pagan gods of gold and sliver. Soon there is a hand that appears and starts to write on the plaster on the wall, but no one understand what is happening, being written, and can no one decipher it. Belshazzar's magicians, enchanters, astrologers, and diviners couldn't even decipher this message, but they knew Daniel could so they sent for Daniel. Long story short, Daniel ends up deciphering the message and lets Belshazzar know that God is telling him he will be murdered later that night for the very fact that Belshazzar knew all that his father Nebuchadnezzar had done yet still fear and revered God but Belshazzar never once did that. It's funny to say that very night the Kingdom of Babylon was overthrown and Persia and Medes became the new power in charge. History backs this up Because in 539 B.C. Persia and Medes overthrows Babylon.
