Even the Wind and the Sea Obey Him

Daniel is granted a startling vision of beasts arising from the turmoil of the Great Sea that reveals the identity of the empires that will rise and fall until the return of Christ.

But while sea of the nations may rage, and while the nations that arise may do great evil, even to the saints and the church, yet they are all still under the control of Christ, and he is the one who directs their actions for His redemptive purposes and the good of His church.
