November 1, 2028

Overview & Insights
"The holy ones of the Most High shall receive the kingdom and possess it forever." (Daniel 7:18)
Daniel dreams of four beasts rising from the sea, symbols of successive kingdoms, and is troubled until one nearby explains their meaning: earthly powers will fall, but the kingdom given to God's holy ones will last forever.
