The wise will understand....
One of my favorite scripture is "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, made spotless and refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand."(Dan 12:9-10)
I want to focus on the "Many will be purified, made spotless and refined", and "those who are wise will understand." It means that the wise will be purified not in the sky but in here. Though we are in peace and reconciliation made by the blood of Christ, we have to follow God's instruction for our life in faith.
1 Thessalonians says, "May God himself, the God of peace, sanctify you through and through. May your whole spirit, soul and body be kept blameless at the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ"(1th 5:23). We have to make us clean before the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ. That is the Gospel. The wise will understand what God's will is.
