How do we know that God's providence is at work in historical events?

Answered in 1 source

God's providence is evident as He raises up and deposes kings according to His sovereign will, as illustrated in the book of Daniel.

The sovereignty of God in historical events is a central theme of the book of Daniel, particularly in chapter 11. The narrative shows how God raises up kings and empires, allowing them to serve His purposes or to face judgment. This principle is demonstrated by the rise of Persian kings and their eventual conflict with the Greeks, leading to the rise of Alexander the Great. As Daniel interprets these visions, he reveals that God is actively involved in the affairs of nations, ensuring that His ultimate plan of redemption through Christ is accomplished, despite the turmoil or opposition from earthly powers.
