"The Book"

Today's Scripture Reading:  Daniel 12:1-4

Daniel 12:1-4 (New King James Version)

Prophecy of the End Time
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.

4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
