Intro: I would like to ask you what the two general reasons for conflict in our world are. Think about your answer carefully.

Original sin.
Spiritual warfare.

Daniel’s vision in this chapter gives us great insight into what happens in the spiritual world behind the wars and conflicts leading up to and including the end times.
For example, there have been many wars in my 72 years. I was born at the end of the Korean conflict; we were involved in the Bay of Pigs conflict; we had the Cuban missile crisis; we had the Vietnam War; we had Operation Desert Storm and Operation Freedom. These are not even all of them.
Let’s remember that our country was born out of the Revolutionary War. There was the French and Indian War. We had a Civil War.
There is always spiritual warfare behind these wars and conflicts.
