But you, Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.”
The challenge of prophecy is that it can be interpreted in many different ways and have different meanings depending on our perceptions and points of references.
I grew up in a religious environment where the prophecies of the end times held great prominence and I was fascinated with the idea that somehow I was privileged to know the future and in the arrogance of youth felt that knowledge of the future made me wiser.
It is good to have expectations of the future and lately I have heard comments like, 'we are living in the end times; Jesus is coming soon; all the prophecies are being fulfilled.' I can't say it is not true because I am not privileged to the timetable of God.
The one thing I do know is that knowledge is exponentially increasing. It feels like my brain is exploding with all the knowledge that consistently bombards us.
May our hearts and minds continually seek to increase in the knowledge of who God really is and how much he loves and accepts us as his children.
