Daniel 12:1-7
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt(鄙視).
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
Daniel, roll up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge.
“How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”
It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.
Daniel is the first Old Testament book to speak explicitly of the resurrection of individual people.
When that day comes, and all the terrible troubles are past, those who have shown themselves wise by their faithful obedience to God will rise to shine like stars for ever. All evil will be done away. But as for times, those are in God's hand.
if you are reading Bible commentaries that are 100 years old or older
then you are reading information that has been updated and expanded so
much that it sometimes doesn’t resemble the outdated theology. It
doesn’t mean they were wrong, it just means God has shed more light on
it and revealed a more complete meaning of the verses.
Why?
At the end, there will be many awake; some to everlasting life, others to shame and contempt. There is judgment to all people.
Be wise men like the heaven and star shine for ever and ever.
When is the time to come is in the hand of God.
Some of the matter we do not know, no matter how we study it, it is sealed by the Lord. But at the end we will see and understand it.
How?
Could we be like heaven and star or be discarded in the dark? Be a wise and righteousness man!
