Daniel 12:2-3

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

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:3

Stars of the Church. Though all godly men will be called to eternal life at the resurrection, a special honour is reserved for those who evince practical wisdom in spiritual fruitfulness. I. TRUE WISDOM IS SEEN IN SUCCESS IN " TURNING MANY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS ?" The wise and those who are thus successful are plainly identified in the text. 1 . True wisdom will choose this as the noblest work. Men have various aims, as pleasure, pecuniary gain, power, fame, rank,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:2

And many of them - The natural and obvious meaning of the word “many” (רבים rabı̂ym) here is, that a large portion of the persons referred to would thus awake, but not all. So we should understand it if applied to other things, as in such expressions as these - “many of the people,” “many of the houses in a city,” “many of the trees in a forest,” “many of the rivers in a country,” etc. In the Scriptures, however, it is undeniable that the word is sometimes used to denote the whole considered as... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:3

And they that be wise - This is the language which, in the Scriptures, is employed to denote the pious, or those who serve God and keep his commandments. See the book of Proverbs, passim. True religion is wisdom, and sin is folly, and they who live for God and for heaven are the truly wise. The meaning is, that they have chosen the path which true wisdom suggests as that in which man should walk, while all the ways of sin are ways of folly. The language used here is expressive of a general... read more

Joseph Benson's Commentary of the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 12:2

Daniel 12:2. And many that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake This may be understood, 1st, Of those saints who rose from the dead immediately upon the resurrection of Christ, spoken of Matthew 27:52-53, where we read that the graves were opened; and many bodies of the saints which slept arose, and came out of their graves after his resurrection, and went into the holy city, and appeared unto many. 2d, It may be interpreted figuratively of the mystical resurrection of Jews and... read more

They that be wise Namely, that are wise unto salvation through faith in Christ, that are truly godly and righteous, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament Shall be clothed with glory and immortality; shall have bodies conformed to Christ’s glorious body; shall shine forth, says Jesus, as the sun in the kingdom of their Father, Matthew 13:43; and especially those shall be thus glorious who are wise to win souls; who, being well instructed themselves in divine... read more

Bridgeway Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

End of an era (12:1-13)Having concluded his lengthy revelation concerning the arrogance, ambition and brutality of Antiochus Epiphanes, the interpreting angel gave encouragement to Daniel. He pointed out that the great angel Michael would fight on behalf of the Jews during the period of Antiochus’s persecution. Those who were truly God’s people would be saved through their time of suffering. Though good and bad alike would be killed in the widespread massacre, the righteous had no need to fear.... read more
