Suffice it to say that there is, perhaps, no more vivid or sustained presentation of the many-sided reality of Gods sovereignty in the whole Bible [than the book of Daniel]. In the face of the might and splendor of the Babylonian empire which had swallowed up Palestine and the prospect of further great world empires to follow, dwarfing Israel by every standard of human calculation, the book as a whole forms as a dramatic reminder that the God of Israel is the King of kings and the Lord of lords, that Heaven rules (Dan. 4:26), that Gods hand is on history at every point, that history, indeed, is no more than his story, the unfolding of His eternal plan, and that kingdom which will triumph in the end is Gods #godsword #truth #Daniel
