4 The first was like a lion and had eagles’ wings. Then as I looked its wings were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the ground and made to stand on two feet like a man, and the mind of a man was given to it. 5 And behold, another beast, a second one, like a bear. It was raised up on one side. It had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was told, ‘Arise, devour much flesh.’ 6 After this I looked, and behold, another, like a leopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and dominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, terrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces and stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns. 8 I considered the horns, and behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
Daniel 7:4-8

In the name of the Father and the +Son and the Holy Spirit. Amen. Alleluia! Christ is Risen! Like unto the vision granted to Saint John, Daniel sees the end times. He sees the battle between good and evil. He sees God’s angels and the servants of the most high God. The battle is real and the warriors true. This God, the Father, Son, and Holy Spirit, prepare you also for the fight. You have been fit with armor. You have been given a sword, a dagger, a small weapon, perfectly fit for you. This perfect weapon is the Word of God. The Spirit grants it to you, brings it to you, sustains your grip upon it. This is the weapon that cleanses you. This is the Word of God that testifies of the great things of Jesus’ cross and resurrection. The death of Jesus is the life of the world. The resurrection of Jesus is the justification of your soul. Now, you stand on your own feet before the throne of God, not condemned, but acquitted in the blood of Jesus. In the name of +Jesus. Amen.
