   The famous “writing on the wall” from wikipedia, but it seems fairly accurate.

   And this is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEKEL, and PARSIN. This is the interpretation of the matter: MENE (literally a “monetary toll”), God has numbered the days of your kingdom and brought it to an end; TEKEL (literally a “tokenary weight”), you have been weighed on the scales and found wanting; PERES (literally a “division” or “portion”), your kingdom is divided and given to the Medes and Persians. (NRSV)

   That very night King Belshazzar is slain, and Darius the Mede becomes King. (This reflects the historically verifiable defeat of the Babylonian Empire by Persia).

   The United States of America’s days are numbered. But which direction should we go? Better or worse? Or how do you want to be weighed?

   God is ALWAYS in control. But the days of citizens saying ‘You Owe Me’ NEED to come to an end! Because Socialism only works in a lethargic, complacent society!
