In this sermon, Pastor Chris Meads explores Daniel's apocalyptic vision of the ram and goat, revealing God's prophetic timeline of world empires and the persecution His people will face. He explains how historical figures like Antiochus IV Epiphanes serve as patterns for future antichrists, while emphasizing that all earthly kingdoms are temporary and will ultimately be overthrown by God's eternal kingdom. The sermon challenges believers to find their security and identity in God's unchanging sovereignty rather than in temporary earthly powers like nations or governments.
