Living in This Reign of Darkness: Part 2

Taking a close look at the ram and the goat, we see two creature caricatures which are metaphors for the kingdoms of darkness. Both stand in opposition to the kingdom of God. We see the astounding power and pride of the kingdom of darkness contrasted with the astounding powerlessness and preeminence of the kingdom of God. While it often appears to us the entire world is careening out of control, driven by the earthly facade of ruling governments, the text shows us that God is in control of every detail of every moment of every man's life.
