What the Prophecy of Daniel Tells Us about the End of Days
The Book of Daniel is not just history—it’s a roadmap for hope and clarity in the chaos.
In this teaching series, I walk through the Agents of Babylon—an engaging, biblically grounded study through the prophetic book of Daniel. Delivered during Israel’s exile in Babylon beginning in 605 B.C., Daniel’s visions, dreams, and divine interpretations reveal God’s sovereign hand over history and His unfolding plan for the future.
Each “agent” in this series—whether prophet, king, or angel—plays a role in revealing the clash between earthly empires and God’s eternal kingdom. These characters bring Daniel’s message to life as we explore the prophetic timelines, cultural parallels, and spiritual insights that are just as relevant today.
Whether you’re navigating the uncertainty of modern culture or wrestling with the future of God’s people, this study will strengthen your confidence in Scripture, deepen your hope in God’s sovereignty, and prepare you to live faithfully in exile.
This series is taught by Chris Reighley for the Sunday Night Bible Study at Rolling Hills Community Church in Lago Vista, Texas. It is based on Agents of Babylon by Dr. David Jeremiah and adapted with additional commentary, structure, and theological insight.
