Daniel 7 is new territory in the story that Daniel is telling. Chapter 7 through 12 is different from the chapters that have come before it. We've left the familiarity of historical-narrative and found ourselves in the odd world of apocalyptic literature. It's for that reason that we have slowed our walk through Daniel down. In this week's teaching, we consider the beasts that are presented in Daniel 7 and we look to Genesis to discover why beasts are used as a symbol in Daniel's terrifying dream. What we discover is that when we sin against God we abdicate our authority to rule as God's image over the beasts to become like beasts ourselves.
