Daniel's Apocalyptic Visions

Daniel has a vision that shakes him to his core — four terrifying beasts rise from the sea, an ancient throne blazes with fire, and someone arrives on the clouds who changes everything. This is where the Bible's most important title comes from.

Daniel receives a terrifying vision of a ram and a goat — symbols of real empires that would rise, clash, and ultimately produce a ruler so arrogant he'd attack God himself. The angel Gabriel shows up to explain it, and Daniel is so shaken he can't function for days.

Daniel reads Jeremiah's prophecy, realizes the exile is almost over, and drops into one of the most brutally honest prayers in Scripture. Before he even finishes, Gabriel arrives with a timeline that stretches from ancient Babylon to the end of the age — and an Anointed One at its center who would be cut off.

Daniel fasts for three weeks and then encounters a heavenly being so overwhelming it drops him to the ground. What the angel reveals about the spiritual battle that delayed him changes how you think about prayer, patience, and what's really going on behind the scenes.

An angel pulls back the curtain on centuries of history before they happen — wars between kings of the north and south, political marriages that fail, betrayals at dinner tables, and a coming tyrant who defiles the Temple. Through it all, one thread holds: the people who know their God will stand firm.
