TOPIC: THE REIGN OF GOD
7:23. “Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast shall be A fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all [other] kingdoms, And shall devour the whole earth, Trample it and break it in pieces.
7:24. The ten horns [are] ten kings [Who] shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first [ones,] And shall subdue three kings.
7:25. He shall speak [pompous] words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then [the saints] shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.
7:26. ‘ But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume and destroy [it] forever.
7:27. Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom [is] an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.’
THE MESSAGE:
The interpretation of Daniel’s visions about the rise and fall of earthly kingdoms continues in today’s text. The fourth beast represents a powerful kingdom that shall conquer the whole earth, profane the name of God and severely persecute the Church. This kingdom shall, however, come to a great ruin at the end of the age. During times of oppression, it may appear the saints are being defeated and that God’s kingdom is but wishful thinking. When the sin and oppression of evil men reaches a predetermined point, God will remove them and establish His promised eternal kingdom. By the time the kingdom of God is established, the saints will reign with Christ in eternity.
The words of this vision of the end-time are comforting to believers in the face of the incessant persecution and oppression. The ultimate plan of God shall be fully established and the people of God shall rejoice. It is only those who are in Christ Jesus that will reign with Him in the Kingdom to be revealed. Will you be among them?
PRAYER: O Lord, may Your reign bring peace and justice to our land in Jesus’ Name, Amen
