The sovereign God has revealed His plan for the four kingdoms of the world to precede the arrival of the final kingdom of God. Starting with the Neo-Babylonian empire, Daniel reveals the plan of God for human history which concludes with the indestructible and everlasting kingdom of the Messiah, who is the stone cut out without hands, which puts an end to all the kingdoms of the world. We are living in the final kingdom stage. May the Lord evermore encourage our hearts to look ahead to the coming of Christ and His glorious kingdom!
