Daniel 11:2-45 | The People Who Know Their God

“How relevant is the Bible to me?” Reading Daniel 11, one might be tempted to think that the Bible is NOT AT ALL relevant! How can we possibly find something applicable to our lives as we read about the rise and fall of kingdoms the “North” and the”South”? Despite their efforts to thwart God’s redemptive purposes for his people, these kingdoms are long gone. Yet God’s kingdom remains. No matter the opposition that is posed against the kingdom of God, the people that know their God will stand firm. Despite countless temptations to just be like everyone else, God’s true people have remained steadfast. Let us strive to be likewise, recognizing the pitfalls that still exist for us today.
