Daniel 11 shows us the real nature of the world—earthly powers rise and fall, suffering is inevitable, yet nothing can overturn what God has decreed, and Jesus has already overcome it. Daniel 12 anchors our endurance in the promise of resurrection: God will rescue His people not by escape from hardship but by raising them to everlasting life in the world Jesus will remake. And like Daniel, even when we don’t understand everything, we are called to trust God, stand firm in faith, and live in hope because Jesus rose—and we will rise with Him.
