Daniel 12:9

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

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:8-9

MAN’S RELATION TO DIVINE MYSTERIES And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. Daniel 12:8-1 Samuel : We are shut in on every side by mysteries, and move about like men in a mist, only partially discerning, and sometimes misinterpreting objects. This is an inevitable consequence of the limitation of our faculties. Bold strides beyond... read more

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

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 12:5-12

HOMILETICSSECT. XLIX.—THE TIME OF THE END. (Chap. Daniel 12:5-12.)Daniel had just received orders from the angel to shut up the words of the vision, and to seal the book that contained them, “even to the time of the end.” As yet, however, there had been no distinct intimation when that time should be. Information on this point was greatly desired by Daniel, and was not to be entirely withheld from him. The time of Messiah’s advent had already been expressly indicated; after sixty-nine weeks of... 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

Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12:1 . At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince. In the time of Antiochus, Michael the archangel did nothing for the Jews, but leave them in Roman bondage. Therefore under this name we must look for a higher prince than any created angel; even for Messiah the Prince of peace, who is as God, or one with God in the church. His title, as prince and potentate, is expressive of his sovereignty. He comes and stands up for the Israel of God, as captain of “Jehovah’s hosts.”... read more

Daniel 12:1-13And at that time shall Michael stand up.The Great ConsummationIt is a little unfortunate that this chapter has been severed from what immediately precedes it. Here we learn: 1. That the time of the Antichrist will be a time of unexampled distress. The trouble will be more or less upon all people then living upon the earth. 2. The time of the Antichrist is the time when Michael, the great prince over the Children of the prophet’s people, shall stand up in their behalf. Some think... read more

Daniel 12:5-13Then I, Daniel, looked.The Epilogue to the VisionHitherto the angel has prophesied the development of history, without adding any remark or exhortation. Here, however, he concludes his predictions by adding the strongest possible incitement to faithful perseverance; an incitement which must have had all the stronger effect since, though it is occasionally referred to in earlier prophets, the resurrection had never been brought forward so distinctly and powerfully, and especially... read more
