Ron Hutchcraft Ministries - The Truth About the Election - #8134
Daniel puts the rise and fall of national leaders in a larger context. He saw his own nation fall and the rise and fall of three kingdoms and he told the most powerful man in the world, “Praise be to the name of God forever and ever; wisdom and power are His. He changes times and seasons; He sets up kings and deposes them” (Daniel 2:20-21). And then he gives the ultimate bottom-line on our headlines: “There is a God in heaven” (Daniel 2:28).
