MEDITATION: The vision of the future resurrection (Dan 12:2) pointed Daniel and his subsequent readers to the reality of what was coming, even though the words were to be shut up and sealed "until the time of the end" (Dan 12:4,9).
Be clear about this: everyone will resurrect, those who "sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake" (Dan 12:2). The difference is this: "some to everlasting LIFE, and some to SHAME and everlasting CONTEMPT" (Dan 12:2).
REFLECTION: Are we "those who are wise"? Are we "those who turn many to righteousness"? (Dan 12:3) If yes, then we shall "shine" (Dan 12:3). Or are we foolish, leading whoever we talk to into darkness, sin and confusion?
God's people would face many challenges (Dan 12:7), but "the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream" (Dan 12:7) knew the timetable and events of what was to come (Dan 12:7,11-13).
APPLICATION: (1) ANTICIPATE: Be among the blessed who "waits and arrives" (Dan 12:12). (2) RENOVATE: Be among those who "purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined" (Dan 12:10). (3) ACTIVATE: "Go your way, Daniel" (Dan 12:9), "But go your way till the end" (Dan 12:13). God's exact timetable will run. Run with Him till "the end of the days" (Dan 12:13).
Don't miss out on the great offer of everlasting life that the LORD is still offering you today!

但以理书12章
https://www.bible.com/bible/41/dan.12
默想：未来从死里复活的异象(但12:2)向后来的读者指出即将要来的事，虽然这些话必须隐藏密封“直到末期”(但12:4,9)。
要清楚这一点：每个人都会复活，那些“睡在尘土中的人将醒过来”(但12:2)。不同的是：“有的要得永生，有的要受羞辱，永远被憎恶”(但12:2)。
反思：我们是那“有智慧的”吗？我们是那“使许多人归义的”吗？(但12:3)如果是，那我们必“发光”(但12:3)。或者我们那愚蠢的，把和我们谈话的人引向黑暗、罪恶和混乱？
神的子民将面对许多的挑战(但12:7)，但“那身穿细麻衣、站在河水以上的人”(但12:7)知道未来什么时候会发生这些事(但12:7,11-13)。
应用：(1)期待：做那“等候到来”的人，因那人是有福的(但12:12)。(2)更新：“洁净自己，使自己洁白，并且被熬炼”(但12:10)。(3)启动: “但以理啊！你只管去吧”(但12:9)，“你应去等待结局”(但12:13)。神确切的时间表会运行。和祂一起跑，一直跑“到了末日”(但12:13)。
今天耶和华仍然要赐给你的那永恒的生命，千万别错过！
