Every year the American Bible Society releases its State of the Bible report. The most recent study finds that overall Bible use in the U.S. has increased for the first time since 2021, rising from 38 percent to 41 percent of adults reading the Bible outside church at least three times a year—about 10 million more adults in 2025 than in 2024. Digital formats are very popular (about two-thirds of users), especially apps and websites. The U.S. stands out in comparison to other secular, Western nations for how many find the Bible personally relevant.1
But three times a year! While we praise God for the renewed interest we’re seeing in Bible reading, let’s aim for 365 days a year—daily Bible reading and study. To grow as a Christian, be diligent in your study of the Word so you can daily spread the knowledge of God to others. Search the Scriptures daily, starting today!
Read it through, write it down, pray it in, work it out, pass it on.

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).
