Daniel 7:1-28: Daniel's Vision of the Four Beasts

Rev. Dr. Jason Wagner, pastor of Hope Lutheran Church in High Ridge, MO, joins the Rev. Dr. Phil Booe to study Daniel 7. This chapter introduces a vision that Daniel had during the first year of Belshazzar’s reign, about 550 BC. There’s shift in genre as Daniel's narrative description of the events in the courts of Babylon have now given way to apocalyptic visions and interpretations. This first frightful vision is of four unique beasts! Daniel describes the first three like animals, but he to the vocabulary to fully describe the last terrifying sight. What does this all mean for Daniel, for God’s plan of salvation, and for believers today?
