Many people view history as a series of more or less random events. Nations rise and fall, people rise to prominence and then disappear, and so on, but basically nothing much changes. The cycle repeats itself. Christians on the other hand see God directing history to the conclusion he's chosen for it.

This is the perspective that we discover in the visions that God gave to Daniel. In chapter seven, we read of the first of three visions of the future God gave to Daniel. While there is much that can be confusing in the chapter, the message is clear: God is in control of history.

If that's a message you need to hear or re-hear, this message is for you.
