Ancient of Days: A Study in Danielનમૂનો

What does it say?

Israel will experience great distress, deliverance, and resurrection of the dead.

What does it mean?

The promise of Israel’s ultimate deliverance must have consoled Daniel, even as he tried to make sense of it all. In answer to his questions, the angel explained that good and evil would continue until the end of time, but Daniel was to continue living for God. Even though Daniel would die before all these things, the angel promised that he would be resurrected and receive a reward for faithfulness. Daniel was given the responsibility of recording this prophecy for future generations. As he wrote it all down, Daniel had to live with the burden of what his loved ones would face … but he knew he could trust God with their future.

How should I respond?

Multitudes are trusting the Lord as persecution of God’s people increases all over the world. You may not understand why such evil exists, but you can continue living to honor Christ and persevere to accomplish the work He has given you. How will you live each day as you wait for God to bring human history to a conclusion? Will you seek understanding by maintaining companionship with God and studying Scripture? God promises deliverance, resurrection, and reward to all the faithful whose names are written in the Book of Life. You can trust your future to our faithful God.
