Description:

Daniel's second vision zooms in on two of the kingdoms he described in the first, represented this time by a mighty ram and a powerful "he-goat". But the prophecies will be far more detailed as Daniel with amazing historical accuracy predicts the epic struggle between the Persians and Alexander the Great of Macedonia. We will celebrate God's Word in awe as He reveals the future to Daniel in this vision from Susa.
