Daniel 12

1 At that time

Michael,  * 12:1 Dn 10:13,21; Jd 9; Rv 12:7 the great prince

who stands watch over your people, will rise up.

There will be a time of distress  * 12:1 Mt 24:21; Mk 13:19

such as never has occurred  * 12:1 Jr 30:7; Ezk 5:9; Dn 9:12

since nations came into being until that time.  * 12:1 Rv 16:18

But at that time all your people

who are found written in the book  * 12:1 Dn 7:10; 10:21; Rv 20:12 will escape.  * 12:1 Php 4:3; Rv 20:12; 21:27

2 Many who sleep in the dust  * 12:2 Is 26:19; Ezk 37:12–14

of the earth will awake,

some to eternal life,  * 12:2 Mt 25:46; Jn 5:28–29

and some to disgrace and eternal contempt.  * 12:2 Is 66:24

3 Those who have insight will shine

like the bright expanse of the heavens,  * 12:3 Gn 1:6; Ps 19:1; Jn 5:35

and those who lead many to righteousness,  * 12:3 Is 53:11; Dn 11:33

like the stars forever and ever.
