Living for God in Ungodly Times - Message 8 - Daniel's Dreams (Part 1). In Daniel's dream we see four kingdoms, but this time we see them from a Divine perspective. In light of eternity and the sovereign rule of God, these kingdoms of men are beastly and grotesque. These representative beasts include a lion with eagles wings, a bear with ribs stuck in its teeth that is devouring flesh, a leopard that has four heads and four wings. And a final beast that is not identified as any known creature. This fourth beast is terrible and frightening. It has ten horns and then a little horn with eyes and a mouth that speaks arrogant blasphemies against God and itself pulls three of the other horns out by the roots. These beasts and this little horn war against the Kingdom of God, against the saints, and at times even overcome them. In the midst of this depiction of history though we are interrupted by a vision of God on His Throne preparing the Judge the nations of men. There is a vision of heaven very similar to John's Revelation. And then, in the middle of the unfolding of this vision, Jesus Christ appears to Daniel. It is revealed that the Kingdom of God belongs to Christ. He is our Sovereign God, and His dominion will not pass away. Ultimately God is in control of history and we have this assurance - He will prevail. Even as the Church suffers, her Head is victorious. The end of this vision reveals truths about the defeat of the final Antichrist and the final judgment wherein God pours out His wrath upon the lost. We find comfort in His rule and see that whatever we face we are truly safe in His hands.
