神永恆的國度與世上暫時的政權 God’s Enduring Kingdom and the Fleeting Governments of This World
從文學的體裁上來看, 1-6章是叙事文學, 7-12章是天啟文學。天啟Apocalyptic這個字意思: 藉著啟示將來必要發生的事顯明出來。從第7-12章到都是天啟文學, 但以理將將來要發生的事都寫出來, 這讓我們再一次看見, 神是掌管歷史的神, 祂不單知道過去所發生的事, 現在正在發生的事, 祂連將來要發生的事都在祂的主權下。基督徒, 如果我們真的相信, 過在, 現在與將來都在神掌管中, 我們不應該為明天憂慮, 因為明天早已經在祂的手中。我們不要忘記, 我們的神是昔在, 今在, 以後永在的神。
Our God is the God who was, who is, and who will forever be. We need not worry about tomorrow because He is in control. In this message, join Rev. Jeremiah Cheung as he explores the prophecies about the future found in Daniel 7-8.

Life Group Discussion Guide
1. Start with a prayer
2. Engage one another (15-30 mins)
- How do you feel about the current events in the country/world? (Note to leaders: Focus on the shared emotion instead of political views. Remind the group that having different political views is alright and we do not have to agree on the views.)
3. Engage the mind (15-20 mins)
- Describe the two visions of Daniel.
- What is the relevance of these visions to us now?
- What did you learn about God and His kingdom?
4. Engage the heart (15-20 mins)
- What does it mean for you that God and His kingdom are eternal and you are invited to be with Him? (Note to leaders: If you have members who are not believers yet, this is an opportunity to share the Gospel – the chaos, pain, suffering, ugliness of the world are temporary. Our hope is in Jesus and His eternal kingdom.)
5. Engage the hands (15-20 mins)
- How can you live differently today knowing that God’s kingdom is eternal?
6. Engage with God in prayer (20-30 mins)
- Thank God because He is our hope and source of strength despite the chaos in the world and the challenges we face everyday.
- Pray for the people and countries going through unrest, that they may find refuge and peace in Christ.
- Pray for opportunities to share the Gospel – the hope we have in Christ to others.
