Sa puissance grandira, sans pourtant que cela vienne de lui-même. Il causera des ravages extraordinaires; il réussira dans tout ce qu'il entreprendra, allant jusqu'à exterminer des gens puissants et même le peuple qui appartient en propre à Dieu.
Que signifie ce verset ?
This verse describes someone with great power but not from his own strength. He will do amazing things to destroy, succeed, and harm strong people and those who follow God. This is part of a vision Daniel had about the future.
Expliqué aux enfants
Imagine a bully in your school who's really strong, but it's like he gets help from someone else to be so powerful. He does surprising things that hurt others, even if they're good or strong themselves. It’s like when you play with Lego and build something amazing using instructions from a book.
Contexte historique
Daniel wrote this during his time in Babylon around the 6th century BCE. The vision he had was meant to inform future generations about significant events that would affect God's people and the world.
Application pour aujourd'hui
