Daniel chapters 2 & 7
One of the key themes of prophecy is the progression of human government and its eventual
replacement with the government of Jesus Christ over the whole earth. While this theme is woven
into many parts of the Old Testament, nowhere is it so clearly revealed as in the book of Daniel.
Daniel received a series of visions from God that are perhaps the greatest treasure chest on the
subject of any book in the bible except Revelation itself. Primarily the book of Daniel deals with four great empires that each had power over the Holy Land, and that also collectively form the spiritual, cultural and governmental foundations of modern western civilization.
