Daniel 12

Summary: Daniel's vision concentrates on what will happen to God's people in the midst of all this end times talk; in short, the good get rewarded, the bad keep on being bad, and the whole affair is recommended to be sealed away.

Response: I do my best to avoid eschatology, that is, the study of the future, especially those trying to find the exact time of any return of God/Jesus to earth, any rapture or judgement. For one, I keep getting warnings not to, like Jesus himself saying no one knows the day or hour, or here, where the angels say to just leave the matter alone. Then there's the part where it shouldn't really change anything for me. I should do good in the world regardless of how soon or far away the end is.
