Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 12:2

"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 big problem with this verse is the word "many," construed by some as an indication that "some" or a "major number" of the dead shall rise, with the conclusion that the general resurrection of all the dead is not in view in this passage. We disagree with that. It is undeniable that in Scripture the word "many" is often used as a reference to all. Note this... read more

Coffman Commentaries on the Bible - Daniel 12:3

"And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever."Here again we have a Messianic promise focused upon the post-resurrection glory of the saints who have been glorified. This is a Scriptural promise to be fulfilled in the Final Judgment, that day mentioned by Paul when all of the saints in Christ shall receive the crown of life that never fades away (2 Timothy 4:8).Although the apostle Paul did not... read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 12:2

Daniel 12:2. Many—that sleep—shall awake— Though this verse, without all question, primarily refers to some great and future restoration of the Jewish people; yet in a secondary sense, it may well be understood of the resurrection from the dead. Many is here used for all, in the same manner as St. Paul uses it in Romans 15:19. See Calmet. read more

Thomas Coke Commentary on the Holy Bible - Daniel 12:3

Daniel 12:3. And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament— And those that have wisely instructed shall shine like the splendour of the firmament: or, as the heavens adorned with the sun and the other glorious lights. In the Hebrew the first word is the same participle as at chap. Dan 11:33 and the whole verse seems intended as an encouragement to those teachers especially, who were to fall, and to suffer such distresses as in the fore-mentioned passage are described.... read more

Commentary Critical and Explanatory on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:2

2. many . . . that sleep—"many from among the sleepers . . . these shall be unto everlasting life; but those (the rest of the sleepers who do not awake at this time) shall be unto shame" [TREGELLES]. Not the general resurrection, but that of those who share in the first resurrection; the rest of the dead being not to rise till the end of the thousand years (Revelation 20:3; Revelation 20:5; Revelation 20:6; compare 1 Corinthians 15:23; 1 Thessalonians 4:16). Israel's national resurrection, and... read more

3. wise— ( :-). Answering to "they that understand" (Daniel 11:33; Daniel 11:35), the same Hebrew, Maskilim; Israelites who, though in Jerusalem when wickedness is coming to a head, are found intelligent witnesses against it. As then they appeared worn out with persecutions (typically, of Antiochus; antitypically, of Antichrist); so now in the resurrection they "shine as the brightness of the firmament." The design of past afflictions here appears "to make them white" (Matthew 13:43; Revelation... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 12:1-3

The deliverance of Israel 12:1-3Whereas the previous verses have focused on the Antichrist, those in this pericope concern Israel. Here we learn that this "end time" will definitely be a time of intense persecution of Jews. This section constitutes the climax of this revelation (chs. 10-12), as well as the climax of the whole series of prophecies that this book records. It highlights God’s faithfulness to His promises to His chosen people Israel. read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 12:2

Why did the angel say "many" will awake and not "all?" Apparently he did so to stress the fact that those Jews who die because of Antichrist’s persecutions will experience resurrection at the end of this period (i.e., the Tribulation; cf. Revelation 20:4-6). [Note: Young, p. 256.] He referred to the hope of those Jews in particular. Furthermore, this wording clarifies that not all will arise then. Some will experience resurrection at other times in history (e.g., 1 Thessalonians 4:13-17;... read more

Expository Notes of Dr. Thomas Constable - Daniel 12:3

The emphasis on hope for the Jews living during this time continues in this verse. Rewards will follow resurrection. Those Jews who have insight into the importance of remaining faithful to God, and who do so, will receive glory (cf. Daniel 11:33; Daniel 11:35). Those who lead others to do right will too. Their glory will be similar to the glory of the sky above, and to the stars (cf. Matthew 13:43). The angel expressed this blessing in a beautiful parallelism. Their glory will involve the... read more
