if Bellshazzer was overthrown by the Babylonians what was their attack plan? Did they go under the city?

Question

Bible history

Answer 1

Jehovah put it into the mind of Cyrus the Persian to turn aside the waters of the Euphrates River and divert them into a local lake. Then, after the riverbed had been emptied, under cover of night, Cyrus’ troops marched down the bed of the river and right on into the middle of the city. Since the two-leaved doors along the waterfront had been left open, they climbed up the riverbank and entered into the banqueting chamber, overpowering the guards. So the feast of King Belshazzar came to a tragic end as a condign punishment for him and his grandees, because of their holding up “the Lord of the heavens” to shame, contempt, and indignity by misuse of the temple vessels stolen from Jehovah’s sacred dwelling place in Jerusalem.

“They drank wine, and they praised the gods of gold and of silver, copper, iron, wood and stone.” (Daniel 5:4) By drinking from the sacred utensils that had been used in Jehovah’s worship, they mocked and blasphemed Jehovah. By worshiping their false gods, they worshiped Satan.

At that moment a startling thing happened. The fingers of a hand were seen writing on the wall of the palace! None of Belshazzar’s religious advisers could understand the handwriting, so Jehovah’s servant Daniel was called in to interpret it. Daniel informed the king that the message was from Jehovah, and it was this: “God has numbered the days of your kingdom and has finished it, You have been weighed in the balances and have been found deficient, Your kingdom has been divided and given to the Medes and the Persians.”

That very night, Medo-Persian armies invaded the city through gates carelessly left open. As Daniel 5:30 concludes: “In that very night Belshazzar, was killed.”

Answer 2

Well, Isaiah 44:24-45:2 tells a part of it. However, Cyrus(a Persian king) was not a Babylonian, Bellshazzer was. Babylon was conquered without a battle...read on

This is what Jehovah has said, your Repurchaser and the Former of you from the belly: “I, Jehovah, am doing everything, stretching out the heavens by myself, laying out the earth. Who was with me? 25 [I am] frustrating the signs of the empty talkers, and [I am] the One that makes diviners themselves act crazily; the One turning wise men backwards, and the One that turns even their knowledge into foolishness; 26 the One making the word of his servant come true, and the One that carries out completely the counsel of his own messengers; the One saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be inhabited,’ and of the cities of Judah, ‘They will be rebuilt, and her desolated places I shall raise up’; 27 the One saying to the watery deep, ‘Be evaporated; and all your rivers I shall dry up’; 28 the One saying of Cyrus, ‘He is my shepherd, and all that I delight in he will completely carry out’; even in [my] saying of Jerusalem, ‘She will be rebuilt,’ and of the temple, ‘You will have your foundation laid.’”
This is what Jehovah has said to his anointed one, to Cyrus, whose right hand I have taken hold of, to subdue before him nations, so that I may ungird even the hips of kings; to open before him the two-leaved doors, so that even the gates will not be shut: 2 “Before you I myself shall go, and the swells of land I shall straighten out. The copper doors I shall break in pieces, and the iron bars I shall cut down."

Babylon was a fortress surrounded by waters(like a mote) and the night that Cyrus invaded, his army diverted the waters of the River and dried up the water surrounding the fortress, or walls of the city, and the soldiers simply walked right up to it. Then it seems that Bellshazzer was having a huge drunken brawl of a party that night and they hadn't bothered to close the doors to the city, so they just walked right in and took over without a battle! Fulfilled prophesy.

Read Daniel 5:1-4, Jeremiah 50:24; 51:31-32

Cuniform tablets found by archaeologists, confirm the sudden fall of Babylon to Cyrus. Also the historian Xenophon (c.431-c.352 B.C.E.) along with others attest to the accuracy of this.
