In Daniel 8, we have a ‘vision’ concerning ‘the distant future’, ‘the time
of the end’ (Daniel 8:26,17). Here, we catch a glimpse of Satan, the very
powerful enemy of God’s people. Satan’s power is very frightening
- ‘His power shall be great, and he shall cause fearful
destruction...’. It was the power of Satan which lay behind the
‘stern-faced king’: ‘He will become very strong, but not by his own
power’ (Daniel 8:23-24). Satan’s power will be broken. Satan faces certain defeat - ‘He will be defeated’. How will he be defeated? We
will not defeat him - ‘He will not be destroyed by human power’. There
is only one Power able to destroy the power of Satan: ‘He shall be
broken by the hand of God’. ‘Thanks be to God who gives us the victory through our Lord Jesus Christ’ (1 Corinthians 15:57).
