F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

Resurrection and Judgment Daniel 12:1-13 Michael was the guardian spirit of the Jewish people. When the time of trouble has reached its climax, whether in national or individual life, help is near. The hope of resurrection, of the life beyond the darkness of their times, animated the hearts of the Chosen People. In the same way the Apostle Paul refers to it, 1 Corinthians 15:58 . The national resurrection of Israel is without doubt included but the resurrection at the last, when that of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:1-13

The last things are then foretold. Michael, the great prince, would stand up for the children of God's people, and there would ensue a time of trouble such as never had been. Beyond that there would be a resurrection, and the dawning of a new age. This prophecy was literally fulfilled under the Roman power. Daniel was charged to shut the book and sea1 it to-the time of the end. He heard the man clothed in linen swear in mystic language by Him that liveth that these things would be for "a... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

The Time of the End Daniel 12:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is most interesting to discover the far-flung visions of prophecy, as told by the Spirit through the Prophets. These men of old, searched diligently as to the time, or manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was upon them did signify, when He testified beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and of the glory that should follow. We are sure that, from Enoch down, the Prophets had more comprehension of the world conditions which would... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:1

The Destiny of The Righteous and The Unrighteous (Daniel 12:1-4 ). ‘And at that time will Michael stand up, the great prince who stands over the children of your people, and there will be a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation, even to that same time. And at that time your people will be delivered, every one who will be found written in the book.’ ‘At that time --.’ This refers back to Daniel 11:40-45. While the horn, the little one, is rampaging around the known world,... read more

Arthur Peake

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12. follows immediately upon the preceding paragraph, and there should be no break between the two chapters. 1– 3 forms the ending of the revelation which the angel makes to Daniel, and describes the deliverance of Israel and the resurrection of the just. Daniel 12:1 . at that time: at the overthrow of Antiochus.— the great prince: the guardian angel of Israel ( cf. Daniel 10:13 ; Daniel 10:21).— in the book: i.e. the book of life ( cf. Psalms 69:28, Revelation 3:5 et passim)... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 12:1

Many interpret this of the heat of Antiochus’s persecution, but their arguments are not cogent; but the meaning is this, as after the death of Antiochus the Jews had some deliverance and respite, so there will be yet a more famous deliverance to the people of God when Michael your prince, i.e. Messiah the Prince, shall signally appear for your salvation. He is called the great Prince; but these words in their contexture refer not to the times of Antiochus, but to antichrist, and to that part of... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 12:1

HOMILETICSSECT. XLIV.—THE GREAT TRIBULATION. (Chap. Daniel 12:1.)The angel continues his discourse regarding the things that should befall Daniel’s people in the last days. He had shown him the fall of their last great adversary in the “glorious holy mountain” where, in his pride and indignation against the people of God, he had planted the tabernacles of his palace. He now describes what should be the experience of men in general at that period, but with a special reference to Daniel’s own... read more

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12:0 We have in this chapter: I. The hope of the suffering saint. "Many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." The doctrine of the resurrection of the dead is here for the first time broadly asserted, and that in such a way as to connect it with retribution, and make it an encouragement to fidelity under trial. II. We have here, secondly, the reward of the working saint. "They that are wise shall... read more

Chuck Smith Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

Chapter 12Now it is during the time of this great Battle of Armageddon that Jesus will return.And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble [the Great Tribulation], such as never was, since there was a nation even to the same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book ( Daniel 12:1 ).So there's going to be a time of Great Tribulation, but... read more
