26 “‘But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever. 27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the holy people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.’
Well there is lots of prophetic imagery in this chapter and I am not enough of a scholar to even begin to try and interpret it all. For those that do try it is interesting to read their thoughts but at the end of the day they really don't have any more idea than I do of the timing of the return of Jesus.
But what we all do share is that we can take comfort in no matter how dark and dirty this world becomes we have the absolute promise that in the end Jesus will return and all the power of the devil on this earth will be destroyed for ever an ever. In the midst of all the scary news filling our airwaves this is a peace giving promise to know in our hearts.

28 “This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself.”
ReplyDeleteThis last part caught my attention. This vision and the explanation scared Daniel. It must be a big deal.
I wish I had the power to interpret it......but, you're right. The best thing to focus on is that Christ is the ultimate and will reign forever, over everything.
