Why This Matters
Daniel saw a vision of God's kingdom receiving absolute sovereignty over all earthly powers. Revelation pulls back the curtain on the future and reveals Jesus bearing the title KING OF KINGS AND LORD OF LORDS. Every kingdom, government, and authority will ultimately bow to the one Daniel foresaw. His reign is not a hope deferred—it is an unshakable certainty.
Reflection
Lord of the future, as I study King of Kings, anchor my hope not in circumstances but in Your coming reign.
