Daniel 10-12 brings a close to the book of Daniel by taking us through one final vision that views the rise and fall of evil empires from a different lens. Through the text we see that God is the Author of history and is guiding us toward the day that He will at last bring final judgment on evil and unite heaven and earth in the restoration of all things. This resurrection hope promised at the end of all history should guide us in following after Jesus through all the ups and downs of life.
