Scripture

“As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest and then at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.”

Observation

The Archangel Michael will protect the people of Israel as they go through a time of anguish greater than any in history. But everyone whose name is in God’s book will be rescued.

Daniel sees two men across the river. One of the men asks, the angel, “How long will it be until these events are over?” He replies that it will go on for “a time, times and half a time.”

There will be 1290 days from when the daily sacrifice is stopped until the time when the object that causes desecration is set up to be worshipped.

Daniel is then told to go on his way. At the end of days, he will rise again to receive his inheritance.

Application.

There is an inheritance set aside for us for eternity. There is much that is unclear about the life after death, but we can be sure that we will rise. There will be a separation between the followers of Jesus and others. The followers of Jesus will go to eternal life with God the Father.

Of course, Heaven will be perfect. There will be no sin or suffering, no sickness or death, no broken relationships.

This is good news, indeed!

Prayer

Thank you, Lord, for the promise of eternity. Please help me to seek you and to follow you in all that I do in this life, so that I will rise and receive my inheritance.. Amen.
