Seen and Heard
Anyone who has ever been called as a witness in court knows what is expected: testify truthfully to what you have seen or heard.
The role of witness will be given to two men in a dramatic way during the first half of the coming seven-year Tribulation (Revelation 11:3). The Antichrist will have emerged on the scene, and the two godly witnesses—thought by many to be Elijah and Moses—will challenge his power and authority through amazing signs and wonders. They will testify to the power and glory of the true God for three-and-a-half years after which the Antichrist will kill them. But after three-and-a-half days, God will restore them to life, and they will ascend to heaven.
We are to testify about God now. So whatever your calling from God, be a bold witness for Him. Speak what you have seen and heard about what Christ has done for you.
Ask the Lord to make your life a glory to him, a menace to the devil, a strength to your church, and a witness to the world.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
