Daniel's Apocalyptic Visions - Daniel 7:1-28, 8:1-27

Daniel is appalled by his apocalyptic vision. Good reason. Some of the most dark and depressing movies ever mad are the post-apocalyptic films.

Sometimes I'm sick and appalled by what I see in scripture. The unfairness, the use of people almost as pawns (see Hosea and Gomer), the injustice (see Dinah), the hypocrites chosen and elevated (see David), I confess I don't understand what God is doing. I don't see the same way He sees things. Sometimes I'm sick and appalled but then so was Daniel at the divine visions he witnessed. He was appalled but still he believed.

Lord knows.
