Insightful, Biblical Devotions
“At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people – everyone whose name is found written in the book – will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever” (Dan. 12:1-3).
The angel of the Lord is speaking to Michael the prophet, giving him this wonderful revelation of the future. That means Michael stands for the children of Israel. Those who have died will awake. Some to everlasting life and some to everlasting suffering and disgrace. What are you waiting for? This is serious. There’s no middle ground. When I read this, I said “Lord, I want to turn many to righteousness, in the name of Jesus”. Not they shall turn some, but they that turn many to righteousness, shall shine like the stars for ever and ever.
“The fruit of the righteous is a tree of life, And he who wins souls is wise” (Pro. 11: 30).
I read the scriptures and I weep and weep, and I think Lord Jesus, how much more can we do? If you love anyone, preach the gospel to them. If you have to cry preaching it to them, cry and preach it to them. Weep for lost souls. If your heart is so hardened that you are unable to weep for lost souls, be sorry for yourself and start weeping for yourself. Because if you don’t weep today, you will weep in the wrong place. I will show you in scripture (see Eze. 3:17-19). I’m trying to show you God’s way of thinking.
