	Belshazzar - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Belshazzar (or Baltasar; Akkadian Bel-sarra-usur) was a prince of Babylon, the son of Nabonidus, the last king of Babylon.
		Belshazzar was the son of Nabonidus, who after ruling only three years, went to the oasis of Tayma and devoted himself to the worship of the moon god, Sin.
		Belshazzar, being greatly alarmed at the mysterious handwriting on the wall, and apprehending that some one in disguise might enter the palace with murderous intent, ordered his doorkeepers to behead every one who attempted to force an entrance that night, even though such person should claim to be the king himself.

	Belshazzar's Feast (Walton) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		Belshazzar's Feast is the title of an oratorio by the English composer William Walton.
		After a feast at which Belshazzar, the Bablyonian king, commits sacrilege by using the Jews' sacred vessels to praise the heathen gods, he is miraculously killed, the kingdom falls, and the Jews regain their freedom.
		The section is framed by a descending figure of four notes that, through repetition, passes down through the orchestra, immediately establishing a jazz influence with a flattened first note and marked syncopation.

	Belshazzar
		The problem in archaeology was that Belshazzar’s name was for a long time not found anywhere outside of the book of Daniel.
		The problem in relating this to Daniel, however, was that Belshazzar was only referred to as the crown-prince, not the king.
		This points to the fact that Belshazzar himself was not the first ruler of the kingdom, but that he was in a secondary position.

	DANIEL FIVE- BELSHAZZAR'S FEAST (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Belshazzar’s mother, may be hinting here that any true descendant of the great king Nebuchadnezzar, a true son of the great king would act differently, and not be a pawn in the hands of the Babylonian hierarchy, but like Nebuchadnezzar place a man with a real connection to a real God in charge.
		Belshazzar had made a very definite choice, he would follow the pagan gods, and despise the true God in open defiance, as being just another god, like all the other gods, whose divinely appointed things could be used in false worship at his own command.
		As it was in the days of [Belshazzar], so shall also the coming of the Son of man be, they were eating and drinking, celebrating with wives and concubines, even assigning people to high office, until the hour came and took them all away.

	Rembrandt: The Feast of Belshazzar
		Belshazzar's gesture of horror, as if pushing away the phantom writer, is the mirror image of both Danae's raised arm of greeting, especially at its originally lower angle, and of Abraham's arm, poised for the kill.
		The most powerful action (other than the "moving fingers" themselves) occurs along the parallelogram formed by Belshazzar's right hand resting on the golden dish, the elaborately painted finery of his turban, his outstretched left hand, and the scarlet sleeve and hand of the serving girl.
		The painting (like many of these histories) has been cut down in size, and the surviving version in the London National Gallery needs to be imagined rotated slightly clockwise to register the full effect of collapse, figures and wine falling from their proper place.

	Belshazzar - International Standard Bible Encyclopedia
		The Babylonian monuments speak a number of times of a Bel-shar-usur who was the "firstborn son, the offspring of the heart of" Nabunaid, the last king of the Babylonian empire, that had been founded by Nabopolassar, the father of Nebuchadnezzar, at the time of the death of Ashurbanipal, king of Assyria, in 626 BC.
		This would account for Belshazzar's being called in Daniel 5:30 the Chaldean king, although, to be sure, this word Chaldean may describe his race rather than his kingdom.
		The 3rd year of Belshazzar spoken of in Daniel 8:1, would then refer to his 3rd year as subking of the Chaldeans under his father Nabunaid, king of Babylon, just as Cambyses was later subking of Babylon, while his fathe r Cyrus was king of the lands.

	Chapter 6 (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-21)
		Officially, Belshazzar had not been recognized as king, as this would have necessitated his father's abdication, but it seems clear that lie was in some way associated with him on the throne, otherwise his name would hardly have been introduced into the oath with which the inscription begins.
		The queen of Daniel 5:10, may have been the mother of Belshazzar (though she is not called this), and still have been a young woman when the glory of the Chaldee’s excellency passed into the hands of the conquering Medo-Persian army under Gobryas and Cyrus.
		Here, Belshazzar is evidently in some official position, which entitles him to be associated with his father in an unusual and striking manner, that is similar to the way in which Cyrus and Cambyses, and later Antiochus and Seleucus, are associated on the inscriptions.

		Belshazzar was not the son of Nebuchadnezzar — that was Amel-Marduk (Evil-merodach in the Bible), Belshazzar being the son of Nabonidus;

	The End Is Coming
		So first Daniel told Belshazzar, "God has numbered the days of your reign and brought it to an end." This was unlike Nebuchadnezzar, who was given seven more years to learn a few lessons and who, at the end of that time, was restored.
		Belshazzar's kingdom was divided and given to Medes and Persians, as prophesied in Daniel 2.
		But in Daniel 5:30 we read, "That very night Belshazzar, king of the Babylonians, was slain, and Darius the Mede took over the kingdom, at the age of sixty-two." God Almighty, the all-sovereign ruler of the universe, killed Belshazzar, took the power, and gave it to the Persians.

		Belshazzar was Nabonidus' eldest son and was appointed by his father as his coregent.
		Belshazzar's name means "Bel (another name for the god Marduk) has protected the king." Perhaps the banquet was given to show Belshazzar's contempt for the Persians and to allay his people's fears.
		Belshazzar had a false sense of security, because the Persian army, led by Ugbaru, was outside Babylon's city walls.
