Welcome to Woody! This week we continue our journey through the book of Daniel in the Old Testament. Annabel leads us through Daniel 8 — a striking vision that blends history, prophecy, and a powerful reminder of God’s complete control over world events.
In this chapter, Daniel sees a ram, a goat, and a “little horn” that grows into a fierce and destructive ruler. Annabel unpacks how these images point to real historical empires — from Persia to Greece under Alexander the Great — and to the rise of Antiochus Epiphanes, a ruler who brutally persecuted the Jews and desecrated the temple.But this vision doesn’t just reveal the past. It also gives us a picture of the future, showing how Antiochus foreshadows the final Antichrist and the patterns of evil that will appear before Christ returns.
Through it all, Annabel helps us see the central truth: God is sovereign over history, He reveals what we need to know, and He calls us to remain faithful and to “go about the King’s business” with confidence and hope.
If this message speaks to you, or if you’d like someone to talk to or pray with, we’d love to hear from you.
