About this episode

Tim Sheppard discusses the implications of Daniel 7 in understanding God's control amidst political turmoil.

Tim Sheppard - So often those in power make us question whether God is really in control, and whether it is worth standing out as Christians. Daniel 7 records a vivid and unsettling dream that helps us make sense of a world marked by political upheaval and hostile powers. Yet at its centre stands a breathtaking vision of Jesus and his people—a vision that leaves us in no doubt which side we should want to be on.
