​The People who Know their God

​The People who Know their God
Daniel 11:32

“The people who know their God shall stand firm and take action!” Daniel is recording
this prophecy in Daniel 11, which refers to a Tyrant from his history: Antiochus
Epiphanes. This same man is a historical pointer to the Antichrist.

Most people could not stand up to or withstand Antiochus Epiphanes; he was just that
evil and ruthless, so it will also be in the End Times. Check out Matthew 24.

Who can stand up? Who can withstand? The people who know God. Their knowledge
of God eclipses their knowledge and fears of Antiochus Epiphanes or of the coming
Antichrist. In fact, that verse says they will stand firm: no cowering; no shaking, no
retreating. They are a bronze wall (Jeremiah 1:18 ,19) like God tells Jeremiah.
Whatever is thrown at them has no effect!

Then it says: they take action: they go on the offense against evil.

Why? - Because they really know God. They know Him so well that knowledge of
everything and everyone else is minimized. They know Him because they want to know
Him and seek Him out. They know Him because their experiences in life are lived
in the truth of who God Is!

Here’s some really good news: Daniel not only wrote these words, but he also lived
them. Daniel had faced down tyrants and their rantings.

Do you know God?
Do your choices confirm that you really know God?
How can I know Him better?
We too can Stand Firm and Take Action!
