Daniel 7 – Signs of the Future Times
Starting in this chapter, Daniel 7, the book takes a dramatic shift from stories about God working through Daniel and his friends to Daniel’s visions.

While this chapter is full of beasts and fear, it is also clear that Jesus will be victorious in the end. It may hurt now but it will be worth it…
