Many shall be purified, and 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)
These words describe a process. It is a process of purification and of being refined. A strong soap is needed for purification, and fire for being refined. This points to difficulties and tribulations within a Christian’s life. Yet the wicked shall not understand this process, and may be happy and content with their current comfort. Yet it is to their own peril. The wise on the other hand, view these tests and trials as needed to reach the wanted outcome… a life blameless in God’s sight!
