Daniel 12:2-3 ~ 2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. KJV
Having concluded his lengthy revelation concerning the arrogance, ambition and brutality of Antiochus Epiphanes, (he was a Greek Hellenistic king who ruled the Seleucid Empire from 175 BC until his death in 164 BC. He was a son of King Antiochus III the Great and he hated the Jews. The interpreting angel gave encouragement to Daniel, however.) He pointed out that the great angel Michael would fight on behalf of the Jews during the period of Antiochus’s persecution. Those who were truly God’s people would be saved through their time of suffering. Though good and bad alike would be killed in the widespread massacre, the righteous had no need to fear. They received the assurance that one day God would raise them to enjoy eternal life, whereas the wicked would be raised to suffer eternal disgrace. A special reward awaited those who could turn others from selfish wrongdoing to the ways of God, as mentioned in verse two. The Soulwinners Stars, jewels for our crowns. O that many would turn to Christ because we made a difference. Not just me and Tom, but anyone who calls the name of Jesus unto salvation and lives a Christlike life to draw others to Him.
Daniel was not yet to announce publicly the revelation that God had given him. He was to make sure that it was kept safe till the climax of Jewish suffering arrived with the appearance of Antiochus. Through Daniel’s prophecy true believers would then receive enlightenment from God concerning His purposes. The unfaithful, by contrast, would never discover God’s purposes, no matter how hard they tried (vs. 4). Is that still what we see now? Yes, hatred because of who they are, the chosen people of God. Is it any wonder that satan constantly sic's his evil and demonic power on them. He ruled many barbaric peoples, and still does today, and his one goal is to wipe God's people and all that they are from the face of the earth. He will do that at all costs, your death, mine, millions of babies who died because of abortion, millions of Jews during the wars waged upon them. O that people would see the light of Christ and come to Him in true salvation. It is the only way. Many saved and unsaved have and will succumb to death because of this great war between satan and God. But God assures us, that all that call Him Lord, will arise one day with a brightness and shining of the Lord God upon them. That will be me! Will it be you.
Don't let the devil continue to confuse you regarding salvation. There is only ONE way, and that is through the shed blood of Jesus Christ. When He died, the devil and his demons celebrated. "We have Him!" But O glad day when He proved them wrong. He AROSE, from that grave, and is alive in Heaven right now preparing a home, a place for all that are HIS.
Make sure of that today! You will never regret it.... don't be one of those crying from Hell for ONE DROP OF WATER to cool the tongue! It will not happen. Luke 16:24 And he cried and said, Father Abraham, have mercy on me, and send Lazarus, that he may dip the tip of his finger in water, and cool my tongue; for I am tormented in this flame. Be saved today before it is eternally too late. The Hierarchy's of this world killed millions upon millions of people during the "plandemic" and many more are dying because of the vaccines. We believe that was one more attack on humanity orchestrated by the devil himself. Evil, Evil, Evil. Avoid that place called hell and be saved today.
HE CARES!
Do You Know HIM?
Lord, help us to be wise, studied up, aware, and faithful to You. Amen.
