“In the days of these kings” is one of the most significant concepts featured in the Word of God in the biblical prophecy. It is found in Daniel 2:44.

If we are capable of “cracking the mystery” of this prophetic time, then we can know if our generation is indeed the generation to behold the great event. If we can frame the time and the events connected to this prophecy, then we can recognize the springtime of the resurrection. We may see that this generation is indeed the generation that will see Jesus come in the clouds of glory to establish His eternal kingdom. What a privilege and what a huge responsibility we may have in “the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed” (Daniel 2:44, first part). [Emphasis added.]

Dear friend, what we as Bible students can observe in the global socio-political context is that the materialistic mentality that characterizes the behavior of the world’s leaders has blinded their eyes concerning religion. Religion—God—is nothing to them. Almost every decision-making human element involved in the world’s future does not have any regard for the religion of the Bible.

The time will soon come when the world will exhaust all alternatives, all probabilities, all scientific formulas to save the planet, and then in “the days of these kings” the world, the leaders—along with both the poor and the rich—will turn back to religion. The more they try to save the planet the more they will find out that the reins of the planet are utterly seized from human hands into the hands of an Almighty One in the days of these kings.

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44).

There was never a time when this verse had more significance. The Lord Jesus Christ is coming soon. Times are changing rapidly. The power stipulated in Revelation 13 that has two horns like a lamb, is taking on the tone of the voice of the dragon.

In the countless numbers of immigrants that have entered the USA in recent years, you can find many courageous voices that have the guts to stand before the public and express their legitimate concerns about the change of tune/the change of voice of the nation in relation to the rest of the world. Here is an example:

“No one knows better about the danger of communism than the survivors of the Chinese Communist party. We are the survivors of the Cultural Revolution [and] the survivors of the tons of massacres; we are the survivors of the labor’s concentration camp and the genocide, and we know that the only thing worse than CCP in China is a CCP in America. No one knows better about the danger of communism.” Transcribed from the words of a Chinese student on Arizona Turning Point Action (audio and video provided).

Sure, we do not necessarily agree or disagree with such a political statement, but we can observe that the symbol of the red dragon of Roman Empire is “footprinted” or “copy-pasted” by the red dragon of the Chinese empire. The Book of Revelation warns us that when the beast with the lamblike horns will flip the voice and speak like a dragon, that will occur, in ”the days of these kings” according to Daniel chapter 4:22, this will conclude the history of our tired and miserable world.

“And in the days of these kings shall the God of heaven set up a kingdom, which shall never be destroyed: and the kingdom shall not be left to other people, but it shall break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms, and it shall stand for ever” (Daniel 2:44).

The long-preeminent nation of the world it is in fact giving up the Christian foundation that was, symbolically speaking, “the hair of Samson.” The very secret of the nation’s power—the very secret of its beauty—was the best constitution ever created by humans: The United States Constitution. Just get yourself a copy of the entire text and you will be very impressed with the thoughtful foresight the Creator bestowed upon those founding fathers. A famous 20th-century leader, Ronald Reagan, explained it well in a speech given on January 11, 1989:

“ ‘We the people.’ ‘We the people’ tell the government what to do, it doesn’t tell us. ‘We the people’ are the driver, the government is the car. And we decide where it should go, and by what route, and how fast. Almost all the world’s constitutions are documents in which governments tell the people what their privileges are. Our Constitution is a document in which ‘We the people’ tell the government what it is allowed to do. ‘We the people’ are free.”
