The story of Daniel and King Nebuchadnezzar is a familiar one. Daniel is the great prophet and interpreter of dreams! The King represents all kings of the earth - who will be defeated one day by the One King who is to be above all kings!
The King of Kings is Jesus Christ - whom we acknowledged as our King and Lord this past Sunday!
It is his kingdom that will supersede all kingdoms! It shall never be destroyed or delivered up to another people - rather it shall break in pieces all other kingdoms and put them to an end - and it shall stand forever!
This, of course, will all take place on the great and terrible day! The Last Day! There will be signs of its coming! But the exact time is known only to God the Father! The gospel passage tells us not to be overly concerned! If we live as Jesus taught us, then we shall have nothing to fear on that day! Especially, because he has told us a great and marvelous secret - “The Kingdom is here already! It is in your midst! It is me! And it is you who are in communion with me!”
Where there is love there I am, and there is my Father also - and there is our Kingdom! The Kingdom of God then can be, and is in, our very hearts - if we remain believing and loving people!
Let us give glory and eternal praise to God! Let us do so by coming to know him better, and by loving all others as he loves and loved us! Let us remain faithful until death, and we will be given the crown of life!
