Daniel 12:1-13 | Awakened Everlasting

As we conclude Daniel, we must consider where we have traveled. After God’s judgment upon Jerusalem, many were dragged to Babylon and forced into a new culture and lifestyle. Despite everything thrown at Daniel and his Hebrew friends, the LORD remained faithful, strengthening their resolve to honor him no matter who was in power. Though Daniel faced many trials, God communicated through him that such hardship would continue until the end, when the LORD will complete his redeeming work on the earth. As readers, we are left with the question, “How long shall it be?” Regardless of how much longer, we are called to live lives of steadfast faith, trusting in Christ’s finished work on our behalf, until he returns.
