“I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him. And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.”- Daniel 7: 13-14
We learn from the prophecies of Daniel that there would be great difficulties in the end times. We are to remember to look at the end times as the end of sin, death, and evil, and the workers of evil, but the beginning of the perfect world and heavens. We are able to understand that GOD Almighty gives us the understanding that we are to be at peace even through the things that are happening in the world. We are to place our attention on King Jesus Christ and not on the circumstances.
We are able to see in Daniel that the prophecy of the end times start with the vision of how King Jesus Christ is given authority by GOD Almighty. We learn that while the prophecy goes into detail about not only the good but also the difficulties of those times, we are given hope knowing that King Jesus Christ has absolute authority over everything that happens in the world. We are not to be afraid or anxious since King Jesus Christ is in absolute authority of what is happening in the Great Tribulation.
We are later given understanding that there would be difficulties for the people of Israel because of GOD's steadfast love for the people of Israel seen throughout history. We also learn about the importance of being able to see that evil hates Christians but also once there is no Christians in the end times, the next group that reminds evil and wickedness of GOD Almighty is the Jewish population. For this, the people of Israel take a center stage at the end times because evil hates those that are loved by GOD Almighty. We also know that evil hates humanity and wants everyone to be destroyed. Christian believers know this and some Jewish people of faith also acknowledge this. Those that are misled and deceived do not understand this reality and will be lied to and believe the lies. We are reminded that GOD Almighty is in control and giving freedom of choice to decide to believe in the true Messiah, King Jesus Christ or not.
We are able to be reminded that through the events of Revelation, GOD Almighty is on His throne in the present, future, and for all eternity. We also learn from the events of Revelation that King Jesus Christ is in absolute authority over every event that is happening in Revelation. We learn from the different chapters of Revelation that King Jesus Christ is able to decide what happens. We learn that King Jesus Christ is able to obtain absolute authority from GOD Almighty and not only be able to destroy the enemies of GOD Almighty but also be able to create a New Earth and New Heaven and be able to reign for a thousand years on the New Earth and then for all eternity.
With this realization, we are to be bold and continue preaching the truth in the Scriptures. We are reminded that King Jesus Christ is in absolute authority throughout history, time, space, and creation. We can be able to remember the truth whenever evil is speaking lies, and we are able to speak truth to the world.
