Interpretation of scripture

[Mercyvessel]

"And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand." - Daniel 12:9-10

The verse isn't very specific. It's quite possible that Christians by and large don't understand, and atheists by and large do. It's Christian hubris that assumes that they qualify as holy in the eyes of their god.

Just speaking for myself, I've known quite a few wicked Christians, and as far as atheists go... they've been less wicked on average compared to the Christians.

Actually, it is quite specific in so far as who will know the truth as contained in Holy Scripture, and who will not.

A true Christian is continuously taught many good things by GOD, including to be humble like the CHRIST, not arrogant! A true Christian knows that but for the grace of GOD he/she would still be under wrath, so where does arrogance come in? 

I have stated before - per the Bible, which is truth - that not everyone who claims to be a Christian is in fact so.  The Lord GOD knows those who are His - 2 Timothy 2:19

“Not everyone who says to Me, ‘Lord, Lord,’ shall enter the kingdom of heaven, but he who does the will of My Father in heaven." - Matthew 7:21

Furthermore, judgment begins at the house of GOD - "and if it begins with us first, what will be the end of those who do not obey the gospel of God? Now “If the righteous one is scarcely saved, Where will the ungodly and the sinner appear?” - 1 Peter 4:17-18
