Though a captive, Daniel accepted the role that God was giving to him, to be an encourager and protector to Darius, the Mede king (11:1). Perhaps the ensuing prophesies were shared first with the king. Daniel’s first insight was to see Darius as one in a long line of kings to come (11:2ff). Whatever he was like, he was not the final. Daniel saw a king’s pride would cost tens of thousands to die, (11:12). Nations would rise and fall. Evil would continue to plague people, governments and rulers. Both the righteous and the unrighteous (11:33-35) would die in the convulsions of the nations, but (12:2), the righteous would rise from the dead to everlasting life. That is our hope.
