The
Handwriting is on the wall!
Mene Mene
Tekel Uparsin
Babylon fell on Tishri 16 the second
day of
Tabernacles
The Hand
wrote
Mene,
Mene, Tekel, Uuparsin.
A
Babylonian Mene is 50 Shekels or 1000 gerahs
A tekel
is a Shekel or 20 geras
Uuparsin
is a half a Mean or 500 gerahs
Mean =
1000 gerahs or 50 shekels X 20 gerahs
Mean
twice = 2000
Shekel =
20
Uparsin =
500
Total 2520 gerahs is the
number given on Tishri 16 (Oct. 11 or 12th) 539BC
the day Babylon fell!
The deep hidden
meaning of the handwriting is 2520 the number
associated with the tribulation, tying it to the days of
Tabernacles and
the final destruction of Babylon.
From Bible.org:
Because of the variety of words that could be identified
merely by the consonants, another suggestion has been made.
MENE could be considered equivalent to the maneh of Ezekiel 45:12;
Ezra 2:69.
TEQEL could be considered as representing the Hebrew shekeL
PERES could be read as PERAS, or a half-maneh, although this
identification is questionable. Under this interpretation, the
writing would read, “A maneh, a maneh, a shekel, and a
half-maneh.” Having arrived at this conclusion, however,
it still remains to be determined what it means. Young in his
discussion on this point gives J. Dymeley Prince282 the credit for
the suggestion that the maneh refers to Nebuchadnezzar, the
shekel (of much less value) to Belshazzar, and the
half-minas refers to the Medes and the Persians.283 Daniel’s
explanation, however, is far more cogent and reasonable, and
does not give any indication that the words mean other than
he indicates.
Please do not lose this truth even
if this is not the year.
