Daniel: Rams, Goats & the God Who Knows
Daniel: Rams, Goats & the God Who Knows
In Daniel 8, God gives the prophet a stunning vision of world history—hundreds of years before it happens—reminding us that He is not only aware of the future, but sovereign over it. The rise and fall of empires, from Persia to Greece, and even the violent persecution under Antiochus Epiphanes, are foretold in detail, ultimately pointing to a greater reality: God uses kings and kingdoms to accomplish His redemptive plan. Though difficulty and darkness may come, the vision reminds us that God is invincible. His purposes will stand, His Word can be trusted, and His people are never alone. In a culture that dismisses truth and elevates self, we are called to rise, grieve what is broken, and go about the King’s business with courage and hope in the ultimate GOAT—Jesus Christ.
