“At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.
Daniel 12:1 “At that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands for the children of your people; and there will be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time. At that time your people will be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.
Daniel 12:2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
Daniel 12:3 Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever.
The verse centers on "time", "michael", "stand", "great", "prince", "stands", "children", and "people". It is saying that the verse draws attention to "time" and "michael", so its meaning should be read from those terms before moving to application.
The next verse adds "Many of those who sleep in the...", so "time" and "michael" 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 "time" and "michael" with trust shaped by these words, not by a vague optimism outside the passage.
