Session#13: The Father’s End-Time Plan: Ultimate Victory
Session 13 The Father’s End-Time Plan: Ultimate Victory
(Dan. 12)
I. THE LORD’S VIEW OF THE FUTURE (DAN. 12:1-10)
5I will send you Elijah the prophet before the coming of the great
and dreadful day of the LORD. 6And he will turn the hearts of the
fathers to the children, and the hearts of the children to their
fathers, lest I come and strike the earth with a curse. (Mal.
4:5-6)
II. THE FATHER’S PLAN: VICTORY, RIGHTEOUSNESS AND
PURITY (DAN. 12)
“At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting [a]contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until
the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall
increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this
riverbank and the other on that riverbank. 6 And one said to the
man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How
long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”
7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters
of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to
heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for
a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people
has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My
lord, what shall be the end of these things?”
9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed
up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified,
made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none
of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand. (Dan.
12:1-10)
Time of trouble:
21 For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been
since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall
be. (Mt. 24:21)
Supernatural ministry: (Great Exploits)
32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt
with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong,
and carry out great exploits. (Dan. 11:32)
Angelic activity by Michael and his angels
Satan Thrown Out of Heaven
7 And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with
the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8 but they did
not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer.
9 So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called
the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast to
the earth, and his angels were cast out with him. (Rev.
12:7-9)
A global outpouring of the Spirit
28 “And it shall come to pass afterward
That I will pour out My Spirit on all flesh;
Your sons and your daughters shall prophesy,
Your old men shall dream dreams,
Your young men shall see visions. (Joel 2:28)
Eternal rewards:
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever. (Dan. 12:2-3)
Harvest:
32 Those who do wickedly against the covenant he shall corrupt
with flattery; but the people who know their God shall be strong,
and carry out great exploits. (Dan. 11:32)
10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked
shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but
the wise shall understand. (Dan. 12: 10)
Wisdom:
33 And those of the people who understand shall instruct many;
yet for many days they shall fall by sword and flame, by captivity
and plundering. (Dan. 11:33)
20The anger of the LORD will not turn back until He has executed
and performed the thoughts of His heart. In the latter days you
will understand it perfectly. (Jer. 23:20)
32But the people who know their God shall be strong, and carry
out great exploits [miracles]. 33And those of the people who understand
shall instruct many…34When they fall [martyrdom], they shall
be aided with a little help… 35Some of those of understanding
shall fall [martyrdom], to refine them, purify them, and make them
white, until the time of the end...” (Dan. 11:32-35)
Michael shall stand up:
7And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with
the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought…9So the great
dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil…he
was cast to the earth and his angels were cast out…12Woe to
the inhabitants of the earth… The devil has come down to you,
having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.”
(Rev. 12:7-12)
Great Tribulation:
21There will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the
beginning of the world… 22And unless those days were shortened,
no flesh would be saved [from physical death]…”
(Mt. 24:21-22)
6The curse has devoured the earth, and those who dwell in it are
desolate. Therefore the inhabitants of the earth are burned, and
few men are left. (Isa. 24:6)
III. TURNING THE HEARTS OF THE FATHERS TO THE CHILDREN
(MAL. 4:6)
1“For behold, the day is coming…yes, all who do wickedly
will be stubble…2But to you who fear My name the Sun of Righteousness
shall arise with healing in His wings…5I will send you Elijah
the prophet before the coming of the great and dreadful day of the
LORD. 6And he will turn the hearts of the fathers to the children,
and the hearts of the children to their fathers…”
(Mal 4:1-6)
Prophetic spirit:
17“It shall come to pass in the last days…that I will
pour out of My Spirit on all flesh; Your sons and your daughters
shall prophesy, your young men shall see visions, your old men shall
dream dreams. 18…I will pour out My Spirit in those days;
and they shall prophesy. (Act 2:17-18)
IV. TURNING PEOPLE TO RIGHTEOUSNESS
3Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament,
and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever.
(Dan. 12:3)
Righteousness:
19“Go…make disciples…20 teaching them to observe
all things that I have commanded you” (Mt. 28:19-20)
Shine:
43 Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom
of their Father. He who has ears to hear, let him hear! (Mt.
13:43)
19Whoever…breaks one of the least of these commandments,
and teaches men so, shall be called least…but whoever does
and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom (Mt.
5:19)
V. MANY: THE EFFECTIVENESS OF GOD’S END-TIME PLAN
(11:33; 12:3, 10)
33And those of the people who understand shall instruct many. (Dan.
11:33)
3Those who are wise shall shine…those who turn many to righteousness
like the stars…
10Many shall be purified, made white, and refined…the wise
shall understand.
(Dan. 12:3, 10)
A Multitude from the Great Tribulation
9 After these things I looked, and behold, a great multitude which
no one could number, of all nations, tribes, peoples, and tongues,
standing before the throne and before the Lamb, clothed with white
robes, with palm branches in their hands, 10 and crying out with
a loud voice, saying, “Salvation belongs to our God who sits
on the throne, and to the Lamb!” 11 All the angels stood around
the throne and the elders and the four living creatures, and fell
on their faces before the throne and worshiped God, 12 saying:
“Amen! Blessing and glory and wisdom,
Thanksgiving and honor and power and might,
Be to our God forever and ever.
Amen.”
13 Then one of the elders answered, saying to me, “Who are
these arrayed in white robes, and where did they come from?”
14 And I said to him, “Sir, you know.”
So he said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the
great tribulation, and washed their robes and made them white in
the blood of the Lamb. (Rev. 7:9-14)
