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

The Biblical Illustrator - Daniel 12:3

Daniel 12:3And they that be wise.Shining as the StarsThe word prudent or wise means endued with intellect. Some take it transitively, and in this passage their opinion is probably correct, because the office of justifying will soon be assigned to these prudent ones. It is better, however, to take it as meaning those who are endued with understanding. The angel says that the “teachers,” or those who excel in understanding, “shall shine forth as the light of Heaven.” The angel contrasts the... read more

The Biblical Illustrator - Daniel 12:4

Daniel 12:4Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.Capital and LabourOne of the most striking features of the history of the race has been the want of continuity or conformity in the progress of mankind. Nations have apparently shot up as toadstools do, in a night, and perished like them. Now and then a single nation has made an era. The Jewish people developed a great moral power. They were not preeminently a moral people; yet they gave birth to great natures that... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Daniel 12:3

Dan 12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. Ver. 3. And they that be wise. ] And in addition do what they can do to wisen others to salvation, as all wise ones will; for goodness is diffusive of itself, and would have others to share with it. Charity is no churl. Shall shine as the brightness of the firmament. ] A good amends for their present sufferings. Dan 11:33 Rom 8:18 Solomon... read more

John Trapp Complete Commentary - Daniel 12:4

Dan 12:4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased. Ver. 4. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words. ] Since the full understanding of them is reserved to later times, and event will prove the best interpreter, as it doth in all prophecies, which are as riddles till accomplished; a and men must meanwhile be content with a learned ignorance. But what meant Jachiddes the Jew to give us... read more
