Daniel 12
Daniel is now 90 years of age.
As he nears the end of this revelation of God, of the end times, what final truths are revealed?
There will be an increase of trouble, v1 the church will face an increased persecution for their faith. But they will not be lost.
There will be things you will not understand, v8 Daniel cannot grasp what he has seen. Only God knows and maybe that’s the point.
So what does God say?
1. Go your way, v9. Don’t spend time on calculating the end result, live your life, go your way. Even when you do not understand everything, go your way, don’t wait outside a closed door experience.
2. Keep on till the end, v13 the finishing line is drawing near. The time of your life is right now. This is not a rehearsal. Daniel ends his life in exile but it is not how it looks or how it feels but who you are when it ends that is important.
3. You will rise, v2. Not one of us has experienced it for ourselves, but no one doubts it. All of us have been effected by it, some have come close to it, some are very afraid of it, death casts a shadow over our lives. Jesus wants to lift the fear of death, I Am the Resurrection. Death is not the end. You will rise.
He is with you and always will be!
