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.

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

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:10

10. See note Daniel 11:35. R.V. reads, “Many shall purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined.” The human will must always act conjointly with the divine in the struggle for purity. (Compare Revelation 7:14.) Some Scripture texts emphasize the manward side of salvation and others the God-ward side. (Compare Acts 3:19; James 5:20.) In this particular case it is the suffering for God’s cause which is to be the purifying agent. (Compare Hebrews 2:10.) None of the wicked... read more
