Daniel 7 marks an important shift away from the biographical material found in the first six chapters in order to present some prophetic messages. Because God’s people (the Jews) were in Babylonian exile, this chapter provided immediate hope to a discouraged population. The promises found within these verses, however, are just as comforting in the present as they were in their original context. In this session, we will learn that unlike the temporary kingdoms of this earth, Jesus Christ will reign eternally over the kingdom of God. By forecasting the unrivaled strength of the coming Messiah, Daniel gives us a glimpse into the conclusion of God’s plan for the universe.
