Daniel 7: 9-28 What A Vision!

"In this dramatic vision, he'd seen the vast sweep of history, beginning with the Babylonian kingdom and closing with the thousand-year reign of Christ on earth ... How did Daniel respond to this great revelation?  He was deeply troubled and his face turned pale, but he didn't tell anyone what the Lord had shown him."

"Verses 18, 22, and 27 describe the saints as victorious over their enemies, while verses 21 and 25 inform us that the Lord permits them to be defeated before their enemies.  The saints receive the kingdom, possess the kingdom, and the kingdom is given to them.  All of this is the work of the Most High God.  He permits Antichrist to rise to power and rule the world and even allows him to make war on the saints and temporarily win the victory.  The phrase 'wear out the saints' describes Antichrist's continual oppression of God's people and his blasphemous words against the Lord and His people."

"No matter what Satan and the Antichrist do on earth, God is still on the throne and He executes judgment."

Father, the world sure seems to be spinning toward this.  I am so thankful that You have a plan and also have the power and ability and desire to protect us.  Thank You for being sovereign over all!
