No one escapes difficult seasons in life.
Daniel's prophecy is about the end times, when the "abomination that cause desolation" comes. He will draw many to his side through flattery, but those who are faithful to God will not be deceived.
In this time, it will be the wise who help people understand. Understand the times, understand the deceptions, understand life. But the wise will experience persecution and pressure to fold. Daniel says that the persecution will be so intense that people will avoid helping them, and that even the wise will fall.
James tells us that God gives wisdom freely to anyone who asks for it. Grow in wisdom so that you won't be deceived. Grow in wisdom so you can help others understand. Grow in wisdom.
