Daniel 11 - 12

Daniel continues receiving instruction about future world developments.  As events unfold, great powers concentrate their energies and attention on the small nation of Israel.  Even in Daniel's future, God will prove to have maintained His chosen people.  All will unfold according to God's plans and in His timing.  Daniel asks for the specific timing of these events and is answered in a less than clear way.  God wants Daniel to understand that He has a plan for everything that will happen; but the timing and exact details will remain hidden from many.  Daniel is encouraged to remain faithful; there is a promised inheritance waiting for him.
