This message is part of a series titled "Daniel: Life in Babylon", preached by Pastor Jon Killoran. The series is a study in the book of Daniel.

We're in the back half of the book of Daniel, which is filled with prophecy and apocalyptic literature. Daniel has a dream about four beasts, and it takes the colour out of him. Likewise, the evil that surrounds us, and the powers at large in our day may cause us to dread. However, knowing our good and great God makes us radiant with hope for the future.
