Belshazzar's Feast!

Belshazzar's Feast.   Rembrandt's greatest piece of work in my opinion. Rembrandt's inspiration for this masterpiece was Cyrus the Great's overthrow of Babylon without the loss of a single life.  A Persian freeing the Jews - imagine that.  No wonder his teachings and scrolls -  became the basis for the UN's charter on human rights.  History tells us an Angel came to Belshazzar on the eve of his great feast -  before the impending invasion by Cyrus The Great.  The angel told him (Belshazzar) that he would be defeated.  Apparently it was written on the wall by this angelic force - hence a few thousand years later we still use the phrase for almost certain outcomes....The Writing's on the wall. Some things last eternally - some things -  like great ideas and many great companies disappear in the blink of an eye.  Think like a great-Chess-master, many-moves-ahead before you just jump-in.
