Weekend Bible Study with Jacob Prasch | Who Has the Power

 He Changes the Times and Seasons: God’s Sovereignty Over History, Kings, and the Destiny of Israel 

 In this wide-ranging exposition anchored in Daniel 2:21, Jacob Prasch unfolds a biblical theology of history, arguing that God—not human rulers, ideologies, or institutions—ultimately governs the rise and fall of nations. Tracing Scripture alongside modern history, Prasch explains how God has repeatedly used even wicked leaders and catastrophic events—such as the Holocaust, World War II, and global crises—to accomplish His redemptive purposes, particularly in the restoration and preservation of Israel. Drawing extensively from Daniel, Isaiah 44–45, Ezra, Chronicles, and Revelation, he presents Cyrus the Great as a major Old Testament type of Christ and a model for how God can raise up unlikely, even secular rulers to bless Israel and fulfill prophecy. The teaching also confronts apostasy within institutional religion, the politicization of public crises, and the growing inability of governments to understand the spiritual forces shaping world events. The message concludes with a call for discernment: true wisdom and understanding do not come from politicians or global bodies, but from God alone, who gives insight to His people as history moves inexorably toward the return of Jesus Christ and the establishment of His everlasting kingdom.
