Sept 24

Daniel 10-12

Daniel's Last Vision

The End Times - Daniel 12:1-3
'At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.'


I must admit that I was kind of intimidated by today's passage. Typically, I struggle with scriptures that describe prophecies of the future. I either get frustrated with not understanding the symbolism or I worry about what the future may bring.


When I really think about it, I know its foolish to worry about the future because God is in control of everything, including things that have not happened yet. Even if we don't understand why events take place or what is going to happen, it's OK as long as we trust God. He has infinite power and knowledge and He loves us more than we can comprehend. The most important part of prophocies to understand is this: Those who trust in Him will experience everlasting life with Him forever."
