Endurance in Exile: The book of Daniel Week 7

Daniel 7 marks a dramatic shift in the book of Daniel—from historical narrative to apocalyptic vision. In this message, Travis Wright walks through Daniel’s vision of four terrifying beasts, the Ancient of Days, and the Son of Man, showing how earthly kingdoms appear from heaven’s perspective. While human power detached from God inevitably becomes distorted, predatory, and beast-like, God reveals a different kind of King. Rather than getting lost in prophecy charts and end-times speculation, this sermon focuses on the central message of Daniel 7: every earthly kingdom eventually fails, but the kingdom of God endures forever. Through the imagery of the Son of Man, Daniel points us directly to Jesus—the true human King who succeeds where Adam, Israel, Babylon, and every other kingdom failed. If you've ever wondered why human institutions so often disappoint us, why power tends to corrupt, or where lasting hope can be found, Daniel 7 offers a powerful answer: the beasts rise and fall, but the Son of Man remains.
