There is often much more going on than we can see. Daniel 10 introduces us to how the word of God came to Daniel through a final vision. This introduction in chapter 10 tells us what the word caused but also gives us a glimpse into supernatural activity that we normally cannot see.

We'll end by turning to Matthew 1 to see how the word of God came to Joseph through an angel, revealing to him that there was much more going on than he could see. That is, Mary was carrying jesus, conceived by the Holy Spirit and coming to save his people from their sins!

Today we will look at Daniel's second vision. The details about what is to come are quite specific. We will see how God's detailed plan would be worked out in the 400 years following Daniel's vision while also looking ahead to how God has worked out and will work out his detailed plan through Jesus.

Will things get better or worse? The 70 years of exile are nearing an end for Daniel and God's people. Will this mean the end of their troubles?

In Daniel 7, we read about a vision God gave to Daniel in which God reveals that things will get worse. Yet God also reveals the realities that God will judge, the Son of Man will reign, and his people will reign with Him.
