In tne Book of Daniel, what does the "hand writing on the wall" signify for this present generation? (If anything)

The handwriting on the wall recorded in Daniel 5 signified the transfer of the kingdom from the Chaldeans to the Medes and Persians. The Chaldeans were represented by the head of gold in the image in Daniel 2. The Medes and Persians were represented by the arms of silver. The ensuing Grecian empire was represented by the thighs of brass. The Roman empire was represented by the legs of iron and the feet represent the coming one world order mess developing right now in our day.

Daniel 2

29 As for thee, O king, thy thoughts came into thy mind upon thy bed, what should come to pass hereafter: and he that revealeth secrets maketh known to thee what shall come to pass.

30 But as for me, this secret is not revealed to me for any wisdom that I have more than any living, but for their sakes that shall make known the interpretation to the king, and that thou mightest know the thoughts of thy heart.

31 Thou, O king, sawest, and behold a great image. This great image, whose brightness was excellent, stood before thee; and the form thereof was terrible.

32 This image's head was of fine gold, his breast and his arms of silver, his belly and his thighs of brass,

33 His legs of iron, his feet part of iron and part of clay.

34 Thou sawest till that a stone was cut out without hands, which smote the image upon his feet that were of iron and clay, and brake them to pieces.

35 Then was the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver, and the gold, broken to pieces together, and became like the chaff of the summer threshingfloors; and the wind carried them away, that no place was found for them: and the stone that smote the image became a great mountain, and filled the whole earth.
