The United States of America clearly leads the world. From technology to debauchery, this one nation stands above the rest. But it will not continue forever.
History clearly teaches that empires rise and fall.
The prophet Daniel recorded amazing prophecies of God's sovereign control of history. He lived during two great kingdoms, the Babylonian and Persian empires. He was a political statesman whose career spanned the demise of the former and the rise of the latter. Daniel was also a prophet. Through him, God revealed to His people Israel a vast vision of the future.
