TDuring the reign of the last Babylonian King, evil Belshazzar, Daniel saw another vision of Jesus and the Messianic Kingdom. Daniel saw Jesus approaching the Ancient of Days in Heaven. Jesus Christ, taking the title "Son of Man" from this prophecy, used it to refer to Himself (Mark 8:31; John 1:51). Then all the authority, glory, and sovereign power that had been exercised by rulers in the four kingdoms over all peoples, nations, and men of every language (Daniel 3:4, 7; 4:1; 5:19; 6:25) was transmitted to Him and those peoples worshiped Him. This has an origin of the Father's promise to the Son in Psalm 2:6–9, and will be fulfilled at Christ's Second Advent (Matthew 24:30; 25:31; Revelation 11:15). Then the Son of Man will establish an everlasting dominion or kingdom (Daniel 4:34; 7:27). That kingdom will never be conquered by another (Daniel 6:26). His reign will be established on earth for a thousand years (Revelation 20:1–6). At the end of the 1,000 years of Jesus' reign over the world's government, He will surrender the kingdom to God the Father, (The Ancient of Days). Then after which Christ will be appointed as Ruler over God's eternal kingdom forever (1 Corinthians 15:24–28).

The sermon explores the doctrine of God's providence, defining it as His active governance over all events to accomplish His good purposes. It emphasizes that while God's ways are often mysterious and higher than human understanding, believers are called to obedience rather than demanding full comprehension of His plans. Using the example of Joseph, the message illustrates how ordinary circumstances and even suffering are never pointless but part of a divine narrative. The preacher encourages patience in adversity, thankfulness in prosperity, and confidence in the future, asserting that God holds all things under His control. Ultimately, trusting in this sovereignty allows believers to face an uncertain tomorrow with faith rather than fear.

The sermon contrasts the godly prophet Samuel with King Saul to illustrate God's sovereign providence and faithfulness to His covenant despite human rebellion. It explores how God used Saul as a judgment for Israel's demand for a human king, thereby exposing the futility of earthly government and the necessity of divine rule. The preacher emphasizes that while Saul was chosen by the people based on outward appearance, God looks to the heart, pointing ultimately toward the true Messiah who fulfills the roles of prophet, priest, and judge. This narrative serves as a reminder that God never forsakes His people, offering hope through the promise of a greater King than Saul or David. The message concludes by urging believers to recognize their need for spiritual rebirth rather than relying on external advantages.
