Daniel 12:1-4 RVA

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:2

Verse 2 As to the translation of the first words, it is literally, many who sleep in the earth of dust, or who are in earth and dust; for the genitive is used as an epithet, though it may be read as if in opposition with the former word sleep, meaning those who are reduced to earth and dust. The angel seems here to mark a transition from the commencement of the preaching of the gospel, to the final day of the resurrection, without sufficient occasion for it. For why does he pass over the... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:3

Verse 3 The word “prudent” 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. But the former sense suits chapter 11 better, and in verse 10 it will be put absolutely. Hence it means those who are endued with understanding. The angel here confirms what I have lately expressed concerning the final resurrection, and shews how we shall enjoy its fruits, because... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:4

Verse 4 We have already explained “the time of the end” is a period previously fixed on by God, and settled by his own counsel. The following word refers to tracing out and running to and fro, but not necessarily in a bad sense, while it also signifies to investigate. Interpreters explain the angel’s meaning, as if many should be unworthy to receive this prophecy from Daniel; and hence it was to be closed up and only enigmatically delivered to a few, because scarcely one in a hundred would... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:1

And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standsth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time; and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book. The rendering of the Septuagint is "And unto that place shall come Michael the archangel, who standeth over ( ἐπὶ ) the children of thy people; that day shall be a day of affliction,... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:1-3

The shining of the clear and the converting. "And they that be wise shall shine" etc. ( Daniel 12:3 ). Here are two types of humanity and two destinies. There is a likeness both in the types and in the destinies, such as we might expect from the parallelism of the text; at the same time, there are differences. The one type is in advance of the other; so is the Divine recognition in the one case as against the preceding. In the one case we have an attribute of soul, in the other an... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:1-4

Prophetic events in perspective. Nature is full of types. The leaf is type of the tree. The dawn is a type of the resurrection. The same law that moulds the dew-drop moulded the earth. History likewise is full of types. The banishment from Eden is a type of exclusion from heaven. The redemption of the Hebrews from Egyptian bondage is a type of the redemption of the race by Jesus Christ. Both prosperous and adverse events in human history serve as types. This is the key to the present... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:2

And 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 Septuagint rendering is, "And many that sleep in the breadth ( πλάτει ) of the earth shall arise, some to life eternal, and some to reproach, some to dispersion ( διασπορὰν ) and eternal shame." These terms, "reproach" and "dispersion," are different attempts to render חֲרָפוֹת ( haraphoth ), "reproaches." The differences between the above... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:2

The resurrection. I. THERE WILL BE A RESURRECTION . For us the Jewish notion of a resurrection is equivalent to the idea of a future life. 1 . The yearning for a future life is involuntary and apparently instinctive; the belief in a future life is almost universal amongst people in all degrees of civilization, and with all varieties of religion; the need of a future life for the execution of justice and the development of the hopes and promises of this life is such that we might... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 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. The rendering of the LXX . differs from this considerably, "Those who understand shall appear as the lights of heaven, and those that confirm my word as the stars of heaven for ever and ever." There seems to be a difference of reading in the first clause. Instead of yazheeroo kezohar , there seems to have been yayraro kim'ooroth. The verb used... read more
