Daniel 12

The Resurrection to Eternal Life

1Then at that time, Michael, the great prince who stands over your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress that has not happened from the first time that there was a nation until that time.

2Many who are sleeping in the dusty ground will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt.

4Now you, Daniel, close up the words and seal the scroll until the time of the end. Many will continue running back and forth, and knowledge will increase.

8I myself heard, but I did not understand. So I said, “Lord, what will be the end result of these things?”
