The End

Talking about the end of the world tends to produce either fear or avoidance, both in secular and religious worlds. Either we become terrified at the prospect of nuclear annihilation or shrug our shoulders, feeling we can do little about it. Although many people presume and speculate with the Bible, a closer examination shows that for those who hope in God, the future is entirely more optimistic, even if tribulation comes.

As we finish Daniel, he receives insight that his faithfulness, conviction, courage, endurance, and suffering have all been worth it. Christians today occupy a similar position as Daniel, namely exile, but like Daniel, live with the hope of resurrection.
