DANIEL 12

GOD HAS PLANS FOR THE END OF TIME

As the conversation with the angel concludes, Daniel learns that one day the angelic creature Michael will rise as a great prince over God’s people. During this period, those who have died will be granted into eternity. Daniel is instructed to seal up the vision, indicating that its fulfillment lies in the distant future.

The timing of this prophecy is not clearly revealed. Instead of worrying or planning, Daniel is told to rest, trusting in God’s plan. This chapter gives a small glimpse into God’s purpose for the end of time, showing how all human nations will fail, but God’s eternal kingdom will prevail. While the specifics of this revelation are highly debated and widely interpreted, the focus remains on God’s sovereignty and authority over Earth.
