The Scripture of Truth

“But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince.  Daniel 10:21

A glimpse of a war that we do not see is given to us in Daniel. Here Gabriel the messenger tells of his struggles with the Prince of Persia assisted only by Michael, introduced to Daniel as his prince. In verse 20 it is revealed also that the Prince of Greece will soon come to join in the fight. But, in the midst of this fight, Gabriel is going to tell Daniel what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. Yes, that is what we want, the Scripture of Truth! How do we get a hold of that? I would start with the man who told His disciples that He is the way, the truth, and the life. The Son of Man who spoke those words would be the source of the Scripture of Truth. His words would be that Scripture of Truth! 

When we read the words of Gabriel, we do not need to fear that we have somehow missed out on something. The scripture mentioned by the angel must be the words of our Lord Jesus or He could not call Himself the Truth and be truthful if there were some Scripture of Truth that He did not have. But, you might ask, what if there is more than one truth? We do not even want to contemplate the chaos coming for us if there is more than one truth, one way, and one life. 

Thank You, dear Lord Jesus, that You are the Truth we need!
