This week's exploration of Daniel chapter 11 reveals a tapestry of historical events that were prophesied with remarkable accuracy, demonstrating God's sovereignty over the rise and fall of empires. The chapter outlines the succession of Persian kings, the division of Alexander the Great's empire, the tumultuous conflicts between the Ptolemies and Seleucids, and the oppressive reign of Antiochus IV Epiphanes. These events, once future predictions, now serve as historical evidence of the Bible's prophetic reliability.

The sermon emphasizes the importance of living in light of God's sovereignty, encouraging us to stand firm in our faith, resist evil, share the gospel, and persevere through challenges. It challenges us to reflect on our personal knowledge of God, our courage to stand for our faith, our commitment to proclaiming the gospel, and our trust in God's refining process through trials.
