Troublesome Topic: A SUMMARY OF ALL THE VISIONS GIVEN TO DANIEL

All the visions given to Daniel carried the same basic message: “Hard times will come, but God’s plan will be fulfilled on behalf of His followers. His plan will require what looks like defeat, but be patient and remain faithful, because God’s plan will be fulfilled in the end.”

Daniel’s visions included power-struggles between rulers of great empires, but the kings and their armies were not the focal point of those visions. God’s people are the focal point even though they are not highlighted or even mentioned specifically. But Daniel knew that his people would be caught in the middle of all this stuff, and that is why most of these visions troubled him, and weighed him down.
