Daniel 7:17-18

These four great beasts are four kings who will arise from the earth.  But the saints (believers) of the Most High (God) will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all the ages to come.  

God had a plan for salvation, which means that God has always had a plan for us.  God’s plan existed clear back from Adam to Daniel to now and beyond.  It doesn’t matter what the world is doing. It matters what God has done and is doing now.   Our reassurance and safety come from God.
