In this sermon, we transition from the eating habits of four young men to the fate of four world kingdoms, God’s story concerns it all.  In Ch. 2, Daniel interprets the first of two dreams concerning coming world empires, culminating in the kingdom of our Lord.

Much of the material in this sermon is based on Paul House, Old Testament Theology (Downers Grove, IL: InterVarsity Press, 1998), 327–45, and Michael Barrett, God’s Unfailing Purpose: The Message of Daniel (Greenville, SC: Ambassador-Emerald, 2003).
