Forever Written in His Book


Daniel 12:1-3 
1 “At that time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time.  And at that time your people shall be delivered, every one who is found written in the book.  2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.  3 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."

At times dusk trouble will overwhelm the world as never before.  Yet those who have been reconciled to God in Christ will be saved from God's wrath, those written in the Lamb's Book of Life for eternity.   Others will be shamed and suffer for the same time unending.  So if we are wise, we will both now and then shine for Him by pleading with those facing shame and judgment to turn from their sin to Him.
