Lange's Commentary on the Holy Scriptures: Critical, Doctrinal and Homiletical - Daniel 12:1-13

c. Conclusion of the vision. The Messianic deliverance and glorifying of God’s people, together with a reference to the definite determination by God of the time at which the Messiah’s coming to deliver should transpire.Chap. 121And at [in] that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which [who] standeth for [over against] the children of thy people; and there shall be a time of trouble, such as [which] never was1 since there was a nation even to [till] that same time: and at [in] that... read more

F.B. Meyer's 'Through the Bible' Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

Resurrection and Judgment Daniel 12:1-13 Michael was the guardian spirit of the Jewish people. When the time of trouble has reached its climax, whether in national or individual life, help is near. The hope of resurrection, of the life beyond the darkness of their times, animated the hearts of the Chosen People. In the same way the Apostle Paul refers to it, 1 Corinthians 15:58 . The national resurrection of Israel is without doubt included but the resurrection at the last, when that of the... read more

G. Campbell Morgan's Exposition on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:1-13

The last things are then foretold. Michael, the great prince, would stand up for the children of God's people, and there would ensue a time of trouble such as never had been. Beyond that there would be a resurrection, and the dawning of a new age. This prophecy was literally fulfilled under the Roman power. Daniel was charged to shut the book and sea1 it to-the time of the end. He heard the man clothed in linen swear in mystic language by Him that liveth that these things would be for "a... read more

Wells of Living Water Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

The Time of the End Daniel 12:1-13 INTRODUCTORY WORDS It is most interesting to discover the far-flung visions of prophecy, as told by the Spirit through the Prophets. These men of old, searched diligently as to the time, or manner of time, the Spirit of Christ who was upon them did signify, when He testified beforehand of the sufferings of Christ, and of the glory that should follow. We are sure that, from Enoch down, the Prophets had more comprehension of the world conditions which would... read more

James Nisbet's Church Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:3

A GLORIOUS DESTINY‘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.’ Daniel 12:3 The words of Daniel are like the words of our Lord beforehand; and now that so much more of the Book of Daniel is read in our Sunday lessons, I hope that it, like the Revelation of St. John, will begin to be better known and studied by people generally. Putting all other considerations aside, there is this great gain in... read more

Peter Pett's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:3

‘And those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.’ This is not indicating where they will go, but what they will be revealed to be. ‘Those who are wise’, that is those who have understanding and have demonstrated it by their lives and faithfulness to God’s covenant. ‘As the brightness of the firmament.’ Daniel may have in mind a glorious day when the whole of the sky is shining with the glory of the... read more

Arthur Peake's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12. follows immediately upon the preceding paragraph, and there should be no break between the two chapters. 1– 3 forms the ending of the revelation which the angel makes to Daniel, and describes the deliverance of Israel and the resurrection of the just. Daniel 12:1 . at that time: at the overthrow of Antiochus.— the great prince: the guardian angel of Israel ( cf. Daniel 10:13 ; Daniel 10:21).— in the book: i.e. the book of life ( cf. Psalms 69:28, Revelation 3:5 et passim)... read more

Matthew Poole

Matthew Poole's English Annotations on the Holy Bible - Daniel 12:3

Here the faithful are called wise, i. e. to salvation, and so these two members include teachers, and disciples that are truly taught the way of salvation, i.e. such as are taught of God to learn Christ as the truth is in Jesus, John 6:45; Ephesians 4:21. They that teach true justification by the righteousness of Christ, imputed to faith, which is the sum of the gospel, and express it by righteous walking, they shall have high degrees of glory. By being diligent and faithful instruments in the... read more

Preacher's Complete Homiletical Commentary - Daniel 12:3

HOMILETICSSECT. XLVII.—THE WISE AND THE WINNERS OF SOULS, WITH THEIR GLORIOUS REWARD. (Chap. Daniel 12:3.)This verse stands in close connection with the preceding one. It describes the character and blessedness of those who, at the resurrection of the just, shall awake out of the sleep of death to the enjoyment of eternal life. Perseverance in a life of faith and good-doing, whatever suffering and trial it may have involved, is at length crowned with a glorious and an everlasting reward. The... read more

William Nicoll

Sermon Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12:0 We have in this chapter: I. The hope of the suffering saint. "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 doctrine of the resurrection of the dead is here for the first time broadly asserted, and that in such a way as to connect it with retribution, and make it an encouragement to fidelity under trial. II. We have here, secondly, the reward of the working saint. "They that are wise shall... read more
