WW3 in Daniel 11
Dan 11:35 "And some of those of understanding shall fall, to refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end; because it is still for the appointed time."
These new converts came to the saving knowledge of the Lord only recently (I estimate World War 3 to last for 6 months or so). All this while they have been seeing and experiencing miracles after miracles of healing, provision, deliverance and empowering just like in the days of Exodus.
Note: Though the Israelites saw miracles after miracles, yet, when they were tested they were faithless and rebellious. Contrasting with the Israelites who were taught the word of God for 40 years in the wilderness who were strong and courageous in the conquest of Canaan land.
some of those of understanding shall fall
When these new converts are tested, the faith of those without the truth of God's words in them will be shaken.
Note: please download the bible (both text and audio) in the correct language. The new converts can then read and listen to the word of God and the Holy Spirit can teach them His truth.
refine them, purify them, and make them white, until the time of the end
I Pet 4:1-2 Therefore, since Christ suffered for us in the flesh, arm yourselves also with the same mind, for he who has suffered in the flesh has ceased from sin, that he no longer should live the rest of his time in the flesh for the lusts of men, but for the will of God.
Until Rapture (time of the end for Christians), our merciful and loving Father will always allow pains, persecutions, imprisonments, punishments, sufferings and tortures to refine the weak brethren so that they can eventually overcome the temptations of this world and that of Satan.
Heroes of Faith
Heb 11:35-40 Women received their dead raised to life again. Others were tortured, not accepting deliverance, that they might obtain a better resurrection. Still others had trial of mockings and scourgings, yes, and of chains and imprisonment. They were stoned, they were sawn in two, were tempted, were slain with the sword. They wandered about in sheepskins and goatskins, being destitute, afflicted, tormented— of whom the world was not worthy. They wandered in deserts and mountains, in dens and caves of the earth. And all these, having obtained a good testimony through faith, did not receive the promise, God having provided something better for us, that they should not be made perfect apart from us.
When the heroes of faith in the OT were tested with the possibility of death, they knew that if they keep faith in God and His words and reject all types of deliverance they will receive a higher position (better resurrection) in heaven.
Keep from Stumbling
Jude 1:24-25 Now to Him who is able to keep you from stumbling, and to present you faultless before the presence of His glory with exceeding joy, to God our Savior, Who alone is wise, be glory and majesty, dominion and power, both now and forever. Amen.
