Daniel 2:21
“He changes the times and the seasons. He removes kings and sets up kings. He gives wisdom to the wise, and knowledge to those who have understanding.”
This verse comes from the Prophet Daniel, who lived in exile in Babylon during the 6th century BCE. He is interpreting a dream for King Nebuchadnezzar, which reveals a panorama of future kingdoms and God's ultimate sovereignty over history and rulers.
How might acknowledging a power greater than human leaders change the way we participate in or view political transitions today?
