壹　但以理书的中心思想是：诸天的掌权，就是天上之神的掌权，管理地上整个人类政权，以配合神永远的经纶，使基督得以了结旧造，使新造有新生的起头，并得以打碎、压毁人类政权的集大成，建立神永远的国─二37、44，四17、26，启十一15。
I.　The central thought of Daniel is that the ruling of the heavens by the God of the heavens over all the human government on earth matches God's eternal economy for Christ to terminate the old creation for the germination of the new creation and to smash and crush the aggregate of human government and establish the eternal kingdom of God—2:37, 44; 4:17, 26; Rev. 11:15.

2.　God will rule over the world, produce a situation for Israel to be His elect, gain the church to be His mysterious people, and have all nations to be the peoples of the eternal kingdom of God; if we see this, we will know where we are, and we will know the meaning of our human life—2:34-35, 45; Eph. 5:27; Rev. 11:15.
二　神使尼布甲尼撒认识自己一无所是，并认识那大能的神乃是一切;祂是人国的掌权者，要将国赐与谁，就赐与谁─但四34~37。
