The Writing on the Wall

Kingdoms: A Biblical Epic #5

by Ben Avery

In suffering exile, the Hebrews have lost their homeland. But the events of the book of Daniel demonstrate God’s reign over all, including pagan kings and the empire holding the people of Judah captive. Iddo has the opportunity to meet the distinguished statesman and prophet Daniel on a fateful night when the Lord brings about a change of empires and once again exalts his servant while deposing the proud. As in prior events, however, the transition of powers painfully affects Iddo’s personal life.
