Daniel 12:8-10 I heard what he said, but I did not understand what he meant. So I asked, “How will all this finally end, my lord?” But he said, “Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is kept secret and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what it means.”
Do not keep trying to figure out why so many are blind and deaf to Truth. It has been told you, only the wise will understand. You are to determine which you will be – will you be purified and cleansed and refined by the trials you face? For, as you know, the trials have already begun in your life. Or will you continue to be willfully blind and deaf? Will you choose to only learn those lessons you wish to learn and ignore those you do not like? You choose, Child. I am ready to refine you, to remove the dross from your life – from your character, to leave only the finest silver. But, it will be painful and time consuming and at times seem as if it will never end. What will you choose? For these choices directly affect your eternity and how you spend it. Yes, you are Mine and you are saved. But, how do you wish to spend your eternity with Me? It is the quality of your eternal life that we are considering here. Be wise. Suffering lasts for but a moment, in light of eternity. It may feel like forever, but that is your earthly body and emotions speaking. Ignore them and cling to me. Learn what I have to teach. Submit to My refining fires. What I wish to burn off is exactly what you can’t bring with you to be with Me – those things that would only weigh you down and create distance between us. Which will you choose? For I give you the freedom to make those choices – because I love you.
