Daniel 8:15,17 When I, Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. And behold, there stood before me one having the appearance of a man.... 17 … But he said to me, "Understand, O son of man, that the vision is for the time of the end."
God is God of the past, the present and the future. He knows all things and controls all things. He is the Sovereign Lord of all. Even before the onset of time and creation He decreed a plan for His creation; and He has the wisdom and the power to fulfill that plan. If He is not able, then He cannot be God; but He IS able. He allowed Daniel a glimpse of the future through visions to assure Daniel that He is in control even to the end of the world. This gave Daniel great peace and assurance knowing that He served the Sovereign Lord of all things, even the sitting up and the tearing down of kings were in His hands. Daniel did not need to understand all things. He only needed to understand that God understood and controlled all things. This should also give us great peace and comfort. God is in complete control of all things. He knows our beginning and He already knows our end. Therefore, why should we fret? Time and even the events of time are in His hands and His perfect plans will not falter.
