In this episode, we get into part two of Daniel which is made up of a series of visions that Daniel receives while in exile. Daniel 7 is a particularly terrifying vision in which Daniel faces four monstrous beasts that represent human kingdoms that rule over the world. The fourth beast is particularly vicious and inhumane. The vision culminates with God defeating the beasts, and a character referred to as the son of man who comes on the clouds and is given authority over all of Creation.
While there is a lot of debate around the meaning of this vision, Jesus gives us an important insight that we cannot overlook. And if we take his perspective on this passage seriously, it will hit a lot closer to home than we may realize at first glance.
