Spoiler Alert: The four world empires of Daniel's time are depicted as ferocious beasts. In what ways are empires beastly and predatory still today? And what is God's relationship to the powers that be? The apocalyptic writings of Daniel are simply a revelation of God's sovereign rule and love of all God's people. So let the apocalypse be revealed, and may we continue to resist and denounce the beasts that destroy and harm God's beloved creation. 

The sermon was delivered by Rev. Joann H. Lee on July 28, 2024.

The scripture reading was from Daniel 7:1-18.
