We finally made our way through to Chapter 12 of The Book of Daniel, after starting on the 30th of August 2021. That is approximately two (2) good years navigating through the book. Looking forward to the next study path The Lord has for us. While we wait on that, let's enjoy the closing of The Great Book of Daniel.
We latch in here on verse 3 of Chapter 12. It reads,
"Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever."
Verses 1-2 provide us with the context against which the statement in verse 3 was made. It was in an atmosphere of more like the one we find ourselves today and also a time of judgement (separation, differentiation). More like the whole setting we had placed our study of The Book of Daniel against, from the very word go.
Wisdom is the differentiator. It is the principal thing, the thing that remains when every other thing is taken away. It was with God from the very beginning, hold all things together, and will present us shameless and spotless to the Father. Wisdom is the way. Wisdom is the ark that will keep from judgement and sail us to the land of promise.
Let's pray.
The Saint.
