A history lover's dream. That's what Daniel 8 is. And while the setting is a backdrop of ancient world history, God has written it into his Bigger Story. As Cyrus' Medo-Persian Empire takes shape as the greatest superpower the world had known up to that point, God's story is BIGGER than that. As epic as Alexander the Great's story is, God's story is BIGGER. As big as Antiochus Epiphanes thought he was, God's story is BIGGER.
Daniel witnesses almost unthinkable things in his second vision, things that once explained to him, leave him ill. But God has not abandoned his throne, and it's all part of his BIGGER story. Sometimes that's hard for us to understand. We don't have a compartment in our mind for "the sufferings of this world aren't worth comparing to the glory that awaits us." But that is where Daniel's faith carries him, and that is where our faith must carry us. And while we wait, there is kingdom work to be done.
