No one likes to hear that there are dark days ahead. Especially when you're just coming through a long period of trouble that you are expecting to end soon. Daniel is given another difficult and disturbing vision by God of continued hardship and trials for God's people for many years to come, and it understandably upsets him. But even hearing the bad news is good news in that it points to God's sovereign power and purpose to rule over his enemies, redeem his people, and restore his kingdom. In Daniel 8:1-27 we look at God shining his light on dark days ahead.
