Daniel 11 continues with events that are yet to come that will rock the world and be part of the terrifying events just before Jesus Christ’s return.
When considering the many prophetic details of Daniel 11 that were fulfilled as predicted, one can have confidence that the remaining prophecies of this chapter and others in the Bible that are yet to be fulfilled will likewise occur as God has ordained. Through a dream, God revealed to ancient King Nebuchadnezzar that eventually the kingdoms of this world will be replaced by the Kingdom of God, the 1000 year reign of Christ. As Daniel explained to the king: “And in the days of these kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and the kingdom shall not be left to other people; it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand forever”
(Daniel 2:44).
