The Forever Kingdom

Kingdoms come and go.

In our world today, we are seeing the rise and fall of many kingdoms. The fall of the Soviet Union, the struggles of Europe fiscally, the unsustainable direction of the US, the fall of a number of middle east kingdoms like Egypt, Libya, Yemen among others. We see the rise of China, and Iran, and perhaps Canada. What will our world look like in a year?

Daniel was semi-retired and close to 70 years old. His world was changing, and he remembered the statue from 50 years previous. When would the change come? When would the golden head change to the silver chest and arms? What would his world look like in a year?

Then he received the vision of Chapter 7 and it troubled him. Some of the vision was understandable, but some just did not make sense. It seems like he struggled with the message of the vision, just as we continue to struggle with our world today.

What was the true message, and why should it bring comfort instead of a troubled spirit?

May we take heart and be encouraged in our changing world.
