Daniel's Vision Part 2 | Daniel 7:15-28

Daniel's vision in Chapter 7, though initially terrifying, ultimately conveys a message of hope for God's people. Daniel is deeply troubled by the vision of four monstrous kingdoms (Babylon, Persia, Greece, and Rome) emerging from the sea, but an angelic interpreter explains that these kingdoms will ultimately lose their dominion to the "saints of the Most High." The fourth beast, Rome, is highlighted for its expansive power over the known world, and the "little horn" symbolizes Herod and apostate Israel, who persecute the faithful but are destined for judgment. Despite the assurances that God's kingdom will be everlasting and given to His people, Daniel remains unsettled, likely due to the immediate implications for his people. For contemporary believers, this vision underscores that Jesus Christ reigns supreme over all earthly powers, urging Christians to live with boldness, pray with authority, and recognize that the world rightfully belongs to Christ's dominion, encouraging a life of faith rather than fear.
