The story in children’s words
Daniel heard about a proud king at the end who would lift himself above every god. But that king would come to his end, and no one would help him. Then the angel Michael would stand up for God's people, and God's people would be saved. Many who sleep in the dust would wake up, some to life forever. The wise would shine like the stars. Daniel was told to seal up the book until the end, and that he himself would rest and rise again at the end of the days. John wrote that God is love. God sent His only Son into the world so we could live through Him, and Jesus gave His life for our sins. Because God loved us first, Jesus teaches us to love one another too.
