Daniel — Chapter 12

0:00 --:--
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And 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.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Daniel — Chapter 12
✦ Talmud

• Sanhedrin 90b teaches that Daniel 12:2 — "many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake" — is one of the three Torah/prophetic proofs for resurrection of the dead, the Talmud's foundational eschatological doctrine, and that the resurrection is a Second Heaven operation that breaks the Sitra Achra's final claim (death itself) over the first heaven.

• Berakhot 17a teaches that "those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky" refers specifically to Talmud teachers — the Talmud reads this as a divine promise that those who maintained Torah transmission under Beast System pressure will bear a distinct luminosity in the resurrection, their spiritual warfare service permanently inscribed in their resurrected form.

• Sanhedrin 97b teaches that "a time, times, and half a time" and the numbered days (1,290 and 1,335) are intentionally obscured so that the Sitra Achra cannot calculate the end of its own license — the divine timeline is given in fragmented form precisely to prevent the enemy from preparing a countermove.

• Chagigah 14a teaches that Daniel is told to "go your way until the end" because the final visions exceed any single tzaddik's operational mandate — the information is deposited in the prophetic record for later generations who will live in the events described, who will then be able to decode what earlier generations could only preserve.

• Sanhedrin 98a teaches that "at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book" is the Talmud's proof that the final divine counter-offensive has a pre-existing roster — those who are delivered were already designated in the Second Heaven before the crisis began, confirming that the outcome of the Beast System's final campaign was determined before the campaign was launched.

◆ Quran

• **The Resurrection of the Dead** — Surah 22:7 declares "the Hour is coming — no doubt about it — and God will resurrect those in the graves." This directly parallels Daniel 12:2 where "many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt." Both texts describe a bodily resurrection with a division between the righteous and the wicked.
