The Son of Man (7 of 8)
Series: Our God Reigns
Jonathan McLeod
Daniel 7:1-18
''I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him'' (v. 13).
THE END IS COMING
Some people have said that Donald Trump becoming President is a sign of the apocalypse. People have all sorts of ideas about how the world might end (nuclear war, zombies, aliens). It's true that one day this world as we know it will come to an end. But it won't be zombies that will bring the world to an end. God is in control, and he will be the one who will put an end to this world as we know it.
The book of Daniel can be broken into two parts. The first half of the book (chapters 1-6) contains stories. The second half of the book (chapters 7-12) contains visions.

DANIEL'S NIGHTMARE
In Daniel's vision, he sees ''four great beasts [coming] up out of the sea'' (v. 3). What is the meaning of these four beasts? Daniel is told that the ''four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth'' (v. 17). People often try to identify the four kingdoms, but perhaps it's best to see the kingdoms as simply four kingdoms that will succeed one another.
Daniel is especially curious about the four beast and the little horn. Out of the head of the fourth beast grows ''a little [horn],'' which has ''eyes like the eyes of man, and a mouth speaking great things'' (v. 9). Many scholars believe that the little horn is the antichrist. ''He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High'' (v. 25). But his kingdom, like the other kingdoms of man, will be destroyed.
THE SON OF MAN
When God finally puts an end to the kingdoms of man and establishes his eternal kingdom, he will give authority of that kingdom to someone whom Daniel describes as ''one like a son of man'' (v. 13). Who is this person? Those of us ...
