Do you ever need reminding that God is in control? Daniel was written to help you remember. It was written to show how God is in control of the heavens and the earth, that he directs the forces of nature, that he directs the destiny of nations, and that he cares dearly for his people. It is a book that displays the power of God in all its glory.
Sometimes people will ask the question, How big is your God? The God of Daniel personally directs the rise and fall of world-wide kingdoms. He decides who will reign and when they will reign, and when their reign will end. And he declares that one day all the fuss will be over when he will set up his own kingdom on the earth and rule forever. If you need a refresher course on the size of your God, Daniel will help remind you.
