There seems to be so much violence in this prophesy that Daniel is receiving. Kings attacking and slaughtering people, time and time again. Has anything changed today or is there still extreme violence in our world? Obviously there are still brutal wars going on around the world, but how about a little closer to home? Is there violence in college? Is there violence in your school? Is there violence in you home? How should we as Christians react to violence? Firstly lets be real clear about this, if you are a victim of violence then you are going to need to be brave. You are going to need Gods help, and you are going to have to do something about it. I know that sounds daunting but pray to God and ask for his help and then ask someone else for help. If you are being hurt by someone ask a leader at Church, ask a leader at school, ask someone away from where you are being hurt to help you. But how do we react to others being hurt? Jesus told us that the greatest commandment is to love God and the second greatest is to love one another. Well if we are to love one another then surely we cannot stand by and watch others suffer, without doing something. We must be very careful that we do not put ourselves in danger. We must pray to God for guidance, and then we must seek help from a leader away from the situation to stop the hurt. We were all put on this Earth by our creator God, and being hurt by someone else was not part of the deal.
