And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
When that time comes, Michael, the powerful archangel who protects your people, will step up and take his stand. There's going to be a period of intense trouble like nothing the world has ever seen since nations began. But here's the thing: your people will make it through. Everyone whose name is written in the book will be rescued.
Even in the worst times imaginable, God's people who are written in his book will be protected and delivered.
