Daniel 5:24-28 King James Version (KJV)
24 Then was the part of the hand sent from him; and this writing was written.
25 And this is the writing that was written, MENE, MENE, TEKEL, UPHARSIN.
26 This is the interpretation of the thing: MENE; God hath numbered thy kingdom, and finished it.
27 TEKEL; Thou art weighed in the balances, and art found wanting.
28 PERES; Thy kingdom is divided, and given to the Medes and Persians.
Daniel 5:24-28 New English Translation (NET Bible)
24 Therefore the palm of a hand was sent from him, and this writing was inscribed.
25 “This is the writing that was inscribed: MENE, MENE, TEQEL, and PHARSIN. 26 This is the interpretation of the words: As for mene—God has numbered your kingdom’s days and brought it to an end. 27 As for teqel—you are weighed on the balances and found to be lacking. 28 As for peres—your kingdom is divided and given over to the Medes and Persians.”

24 God also hand wrote the law that was given to Moses so this is not a first time event but is rare and is the first time they had seen it.
25 This may have been a known language of could have possible been a heavenly language that Daniel interpreted. God could have written it in any language.
26 Babylon would come to an end, in Revelation there is reference to Babylon which is shows that there will be a great rebellion against God and a time close to the end. The word Mene is mentioned twice because it was very soon to happen.
27 Babylon was in such a great rebellion they could not understand what they were missing. We only can stand before the Lord by having Christ without Him we are all lacking.
28 This would happen and there was nothing that he could do about it. God’s will we should just be apart of because we can not stop it.
