How are we to make sense of our world? The Bible is very clear, there is another world, an eternal world, while the one we live in is passing away. Yet, this present world is where we live, often in the midst of profound struggles with the effects of evil. Apocalyptic literature provides a view of this world from the vantage point of the other, heavenly world. It reveals the true nature of the conflict that surrounds us. Daniel 7 is a classic apocalyptic passage, revealing the fate of four terrifying beasts, and the judgment of the Ancient of Days in favour of the divine Son of Man which restores humanity to its proper place in his creation.
