This sermon opens the fully prophetic section of Daniel with chapter 7, where Daniel—now an elderly man under Belshazzar—sees four strange beasts rising together from a storm-tossed sea, followed by the Ancient of Days taking His throne and the final blasphemous “little horn” being judged. The pastor argues that, unlike the statue of four successive empires in Daniel 2, these beasts represent four endtime power blocs or systems that coexist and ultimately feed into the final world government of Antichrist described in Revelation 13. He emphasizes that God is stirring the nations even now, that evil may have its brief “hour” but God will have His “day,” and that believers should love and study prophecy so they can recognize the times, remain steady in hope, and fix their eyes on Christ’s everlasting kingdom
