James Gray's Concise Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1-13

ANTICHRIST AND TRIBULATION In the introduction to this last vision of Daniel, it was stated (Daniel 10:14 ) that it concerned his people “in the latter days,” but thus far it has extended only to Antiochus Epiphanes and the Maccabees. The dividing line is at the close of Daniel 11:35 and the beginning of Daniel 11:36 . In the former we read of the testing and purifying experiences of the wise ones in Israel “even to the time of the end,” and in the latter of a certain “king” who “shall do... read more

The People's Bible by Joseph Parker - Daniel 12:1-13

The Reservations of God Dan 12:8-13 Who can be so perplexing as God? "It is the glory of God to conceal a thing." We think we have got an answer when we have only got a reply. There is a great sound of thunder in the air, but what it all means not even Daniel can tell. Yet the thunder is very useful; the thunder is the minister of God. There are mountains that have never been climbed; if they had been climbed they had been vulgarised, The pinnacles of the church were not made to be stood... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 12:1

CONTENTS The prophecy o f Daniel closeth in this Chapter, with some most gracious assurances of Israel's deliverance; from all her troubles. Daniel's mind is exercised with thoughts concerning the same. The Lord's gracious consolation to the Prophet. Daniel 12:1 Here is a most lovely account of Jesus, and of his office-character, as Mediator. I do not hesitate to believe, that the Michael here spoken of is Christ. In confirmation, turn to those scriptures. Revelation 12:7-11 . How Christ then... read more

Hawker's Poor Man's Commentary - Daniel 12:2-3

Those who believe in the doctrine of the Millennium, take the first of these sweet verses for one, among the evidences of it. And others refer it wholly to the Lord's judgment at the last day. In either sense, or in both, the thought is pleasing to the faithful in Christ Jesus, and tremendous to unbelievers. See Isaiah 26:19 . The blessed account of those who are wise to win souls, is very graciously expressed. Jesus takes account now of all that is done upon earth in love to Him, and his... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:1

Michael, "who is like God," alludes to the name of the Machabees; Who is like unto thee among the gods? The archangel protected the Jews, while Epiphanes was engaged beyond the Euphrates. --- Time. The nation was in the utmost distress. Only about seven thousand ill-armed men adhered to Judas: yet these delivered the country by God's decree. --- Book. God seemed to keep a register of his friends. (Calmet) --- Michael, the guardian of the Church, will protect her against antichrist, as her... read more

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:2

Many. This shews the great number. All shall rise again. In a figurative sense, the Jews who seemed buried shall appear and fight. --- To see. Hebrew: "everlasting." (Calmet) --- St. Jerome has not seen a d (Haydock) in the word. This text is express for eternal happiness or misery. (Calmet) --- Some have understood, deraon, "stench," or contempt, to denote the ignominy of the damned; but the prophet speaks of the times of the Machabees. (Houbigant.) --- All shall rise in their bodies, but... read more

George Haydock

George Haydock's Catholic Bible Commentary - Daniel 12:3

Learned in the law of God and true wisdom, which consists in knowing and loving God. (Challoner) --- Hebrew: "instructors." --- Instruct. Hebrew: "justify," in the same sense. The Machabees and other priests, &c. who instructed people in the law, and stood up for its defence, may be meant. (Calmet) --- "There is as much difference between a learned sanctity and a holy rusticity, as there is between heaven and the stars." (St. Jerome) --- Teachers, martyrs, and virgins are entitled to an ... read more

Frank Binford Hole

F. B. Hole's Old and New Testament Commentary - Daniel 12:1-99

Daniel 12 THERE WILL BE, however, other antagonistic powers beside the kings of north and south and the false Messiah-king in Jerusalem. All will be dealt with for 'at that time' as the opening verse of chapter 12 declares God is going to resume His dealings with Israel in His grace. Michael the archangel is specially commissioned to act on their behalf, and he stands up to deal with things, and two great events come to pass. First, there will be a complete deliverance to Daniel's people. This... read more

The Popular Commentary by Paul E. Kretzmann - Daniel 12:1-4

The Deliverance of the Lord's People v. 1. And at that time, at the end of the present world age, shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people, as the heavenly protector of Israel, Daniel 10:13-Ecclesiastes :; and there shall be a time of trouble, of tribulation and affliction for the believers, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that same time, the climax of the oppression brought upon the spiritual Israel by all antichristian... read more
