But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come, such as never was from the time that nations began, even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Daniel 12:1 But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come, such as never was from the time that nations began, even until that time. And at that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found written in the book.
Daniel 12:2 And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it always.
Daniel 12:3 But they that are learned, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all eternity.
The verse centers on "saved", "time", "shall", "michael", "rise", "great", "prince", and "standeth". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "saved" and "time", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The next verse adds "And many of those that sleep in...", so "saved" and "time" should be read forward into that movement. In Daniel context, the local focus is covenant, worship, and faithfulness.
A plain takeaway is to answer the verse's own emphasis on "saved" and "time" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
