Daniel revealed to Nebuchadnezzar an eternal realm. Human mythology expresses a similar hope … Star Wars, The Wizard of Oz, Shangri-la, Atlantis, Lord of the Rings, Narnia, The Lion King, Utopia; new and better days are coming, good will triumph. We Shall Overcome Some Day.  These stories also admit that this bright future will depend not just on human efforts, but on a power from beyond.  John Baptist prepared “the way of the Lord”; he quoted Isaiah, “all flesh shall see the salvation of God.”  Explorer David Livingstone agreed: “God will bring out the light at last.”
