God in Control 7: Finding Comfort when world events seem out of control - Daniel 7

On steep mountain roads they add these runaway ramps. These are are especially for big trucks going down hill in case they lose their brakes. The only way to avoid perishing with all that momentum is to drive up these ramps where the truck gets quickly bogged down in soft gravel and slows them down. When we look at world events, do we feel that way, like a truck going down? Do we wonder whether anyone is in control? The Scriptures that God is in control. We hear this but feel it's a tug of war, God against whatever whatever superpower. Sometimes one wins and sometimes the other. But there's nothing further from the truth. The first six chapters of Daniel are high drama, remarkable stories where God is in control. The next six chapters are  prophetic literature, looking through time at things before they have come to us. And still, God is in control. It is good to pause here with so much in our hearts that makes us tremble as we look at Daniel 7. Preacher: Bill Dyck Extra reading: Matthew 24:1-14
