by Vinnie MacIsaac | 20 March 2020 | The 80’s band R.E.M. sang “It’s the end of the world as we know it—and I feel fine.” That lyric has been stuck in my head since the COVID-19 story broke. I don’t know when you’ll be reading this, but I wrote it four days before my […] Source: https://atoday.org/the-end-of-the-world-as-we-know-it/

Dear Coronavirus
Lives are disrupted, damaged or lost. Economies devastated; plans destroyed. The pandemic of 2020 will never be forgotten. But what if, in the midst of fear and anxiety, we stand united, around the world, with a message of hope. Produced by EUD-TED-Hope Media Europe #dearcoronavirus

Sabbath: From Dust to Stars

Sabbath Afternoon
Read for This Week’s Study: Dan. 12:1-13; Rom. 8:34; Luke 10:20; Rom. 8:18; Heb. 2:14-15; John 14:29; Rev. 11:3.
Memory Text: “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” (Daniel 12:3, NKJV).
The book of Daniel begins with Nebuchadnezzar invading Judea and taking captives to Babylon; the book of Daniel concludes, in contrast, with Michael standing up to deliver God’s people from end-time Babylon. That is, as shown all through Daniel, in the end, the very end, God works everything out in favor of His people.
As we have seen, too, Daniel and his companions remain faithful to God and display unparalleled wisdom amidst the trials and challenges of the exile. Likewise, when facing tribulation, God’s end-time people will also remain faithful, especially during “a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation” (Dan. 12:1). Like Daniel and his friends in Babylon, they will display wisdom and understanding. They will not only experience wisdom as a personal virtue but will be committed, as a consequence of that wisdom, to lead others to righteousness. Some will die or be put to death, and thus, go back to the dust, but they will be raised to eternity. As the biblical text says, “And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life” (Dan. 12:2).
Study this week’s lesson to prepare for Sabbath, March 28.
Amen!
