This week, Dennis Allan talked through Daniel 7, the beginning of the apocalyptic section of the book. There, Daniel tells about a vision that included four beasts, ten horns, the Ancient of Days, and the Son of Man. It’s a story that provided hope to the Israelites in exile under the Babylonian and then Persian empires that these evil and unjust empires would be judged and rendered powerless. It’s a story that still provides hope today. We don’t have to wonder who the Son of Man is, as Daniel’s original audience did. We know the Son of Man is Jesus and we know that right now He is reigning at the right hand of God. We can trust in the hope that despite the injustice, oppression, and darkness we see in the world today, all of it will one day be judged and rendered powerless. Jesus has already come and He’s already won.
