Denis Lyle preaches on the prophetic vision in Daniel 8, highlighting the conflict between two great world powers, the Medo-Persian Empire symbolized by a ram and the Greek Empire symbolized by a he-goat. The vision also reveals the rise of historical figures like Alexander the Great and Antiochus Epiphanes, who foreshadows the future Antichrist. The sermon emphasizes the importance of understanding and responding to prophecy, urging believers to be moved by the coming events and actively engage in God's work before His return.
