Give Today a Song!
Fanny Crosby wrote thousands of hymns, though only a few are sung today (such as “Blessed Assurance” and “To God Be the Glory”). One of her forgotten hymns says, “Sing when the birds are waking, sing with the morning light; sing in the noontide’s golden beam, sing in the hush of night.”
When we sing throughout the day, we’re reflecting the worship of heaven. When we sing with other believers in worship services, we’re joining the choirs of heaven. We need to enjoy a wide range of music in our worship services—from classic hymns to modern praise and worship. If the words glorify God and reflect biblical truth, sing them with gusto. Learn the old hymns. Sing the new music.
Reflect the joy of heaven and let your heart be glad. Say and sing to the nations, “The Lord reigns!” Be filled with the Spirit and overflow with praise. Give today a song!
Sing when the sky is darkest, sing when the thunders roll; sing of a land where rest remains, rest for the weary soul.

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).
