Bad Trip? Or Good News?

God is always at work, even when you can't see it, even in hardship and suffering. Daniel receives a vision of events that would occur hundreds of years later (recorded in our present-day history books) that displays both God's infiniteness and His power. Though Daniel is grieved and burdened with the revelation of things to come, he sees the assurance of God's ultimate sovereignty over all things, past and future. With this hope, he finds the courage to face the events of his day no matter how hopeless or evil.
