God Will Supply
Every Christian has been given spiritual gifts by God as well as natural talents and abilities. Even so, God sometimes calls a believer to a task that seems beyond one’s abilities.
Moses is a good example. Though his first forty years were spent being educated in the royal courts of Egypt, his second forty years were spent as a shepherd in Midian. At approximately age eighty, Moses probably considered himself unqualified for what God asked him to do next: go to Pharaoh in Egypt and lead the Hebrew slaves from bondage to freedom in the Promised Land of Canaan. When God first commissioned Moses to go, his first response was, “Who am I?” God didn’t address who Moses was; instead, He addressed who He was: “I AM WHO I AM” (Exodus 3:14). And He promised that He would be with Moses in the task to which he was called.
If God asks you to do something for Him and you feel unqualified, you are in the right place to depend on Him.
You will never need more than God can supply.

Some 2,600 years ago, God gave King Nebuchadnezzar a dream. In this dream, the king saw a five–part statue made of five different metals (see Daniel 2). Each section represented an empire, beginning with Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon. Four of these empires have already risen and fallen in history—a clear fulfillment of Daniel's prophetic interpretation. The fifth and final empire indicates a future Europe—a ten nation coalition that will unite under the Antichrist's rule.
You can read about the King's dream and Daniel's interpretation in Daniel 2, but let's take a quick visual look at what you will find:
-
King Nebuchadnezzar's Babylon
Daniel's words to the king are clear. "You are this head of gold" (Daniel 2:37–38).
-
Medo–Persian Empire
The Medo–Persian Empire conquered Babylon in 539 BC and remained in power for approximately two hundred years (Daniel 5:28).
-
Grecian Empire
Greece's Empire succeeded the Medo–Persians (Daniel 8:21).
-
Roman Empire
When the Grecian empire was conquered by Rome, all the lands and peoples of the previous kingdoms were assimilated into the Roman Empire through the strengths of the "iron legions of Rome" (Daniel 2:40).
-
Future European Coalition
This empire has not yet risen. Daniel foretells a time when the Roman Empire—Europe—will consist of ten kingdoms or leaders. The future Roman Empire will be present on the earth when God sets up His earthly kingdom (Daniel 2:44).
