Daniel 11 - 12

Daniel is given a vision of the end times, events that were future to him and some are still future to us today.  Daniel is told that God has a plan, and that plan includes punishment for the wicked and blessing for those who obey God's words.  Much is made of these closing chapters to support one theory or another in prophetic interpretation.  What must not be missed in all this is the overriding principle that God has a determined plan for this planet and its inhabitants.  His plans will not be distracted or dissuaded; they will come to pass.
