According to Daniel’s interpretation, the beasts represented four kingdoms that would rise; the fourth kingdom would destroy the other kingdoms. 5.

While drinking and feasting with thousands of people in his kingdom, Belshazzar saw a hand write words on a wall. Bringing all his soothsayers together, the men couldn’t interpret what was on the wall. Daniel was sent for to interpret the writing.
