End Times – Book of Daniel: 2 and the Prophetic Dream of Empires, How God Uses Gentile Kingdoms and Why It Matters Now
Wednesday, April 29, 2026
This sermon walks through Daniel 2, explaining Nebuchadnezzar’s troubling dream of the great statue as a “broad brush” prophecy that traces five Gentile empires from Babylon all the way to the final ten-king confederation and the return of Christ, the stone cut without hands who destroys human governments and establishes an everlasting kingdom. The pastor shows how God revealed both the dream and its meaning to teenage Daniel in response to urgent, believing prayer, highlighting God’s sovereignty over kings, history, and the timing of prophetic events. He then connects Daniel’s vision to our current moment—arguing that we are living in the “ten toes” season just before Christ removes His church and returns—and urges believers to understand biblical prophecy so they are not overtaken by the day of His visitation.
