8. "MENE MENE TEKEL UPHARSIN!" Oh, yes...

"Numbered, numbered, weighed and divided."

In more detail, as Biblical scholars would have it - "Your days have been counted, the days of your Kingdom are numbered, you have been weighed and found wanting, your Kingdom will be divided." With a strong implication that the first "MENE" (Your days have been counted) is to be interpreted as "Your days are at an end" i.e. - you're about to die, you'll go to hell (found wanting) and your kingdom will fall apart.

"Mene, mene, tekel upharsin" has been on my mind a lot lately.

prognosticatorially,
Bright
