DANIEL XII (12): 3
(1535 Coverdale Bible)
The wyse (soch as haue taught other) shal glister, as the shyninge of heauen:
and those that haue instructe the multitude vnto godlynesse, shalbe as the starres, worlde without ende.

translation:

The wise (such as have taught other) shall glisten/shine, as the shining of heaven:
and those that have instructed the multitude unto godliness, shall be as the stars, world without end.

summary:

Daniel is told that Michael, the guardian prince over Israel (those who believe), will stand up during an unprecedented crisis. God’s people whose names are written in the heavenly book will be rescued. Those who have died will be raised—some to everlasting life, others to everlasting shame. The wise and those who guide many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever.

verses 1-2 for context:
“At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered.
2 And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.

Historical Setting
• Daniel received this final vision in the third year of Cyrus (Daniel 10:1). Judah had been allowed to return home, yet many Jews remained scattered under Persian rule. The vision reminds exiles that ultimate deliverance lies not in earthly empires but in God’s future intervention.
• Persian royal archives (e.g., the Cyrus Cylinder) confirm an imperial policy of allowing captive peoples to return and rebuild temples, matching Ezra 1. Yet Daniel 12 projects far beyond Persia to an ultimate crisis still ahead.

Michael the Archangel
• Daniel 12:1 presents Michael as “the great prince who stands watch over your people.” Earlier (Daniel 10:13) he battled a powerful evil prince over Persia, depicting angelic warfare behind world events.
• Revelation 12:7–9 shows Michael again fighting Satan. Jude 9 names him as “the archangel.” These passages reinforce that God assigns mighty angels to protect His purposes and His people.

The Book of Life
• “Everyone whose name is found written in the book” (12:1) echoes Exodus 32:32–33 and Psalm 69:28, where the righteous are recorded in God’s book.
• Revelation 20:12–15 shows the final judgment with the books opened, matching Daniel’s imagery of heavenly records.

The Shining of the Wise
• Daniel 12:3 likens the faithful to stars. Philippians 2:15 calls believers to “shine like lights in the world,” likely drawing from this verse.
• Jesus said, “Then the righteous will shine like the sun in the kingdom of their Father” (Matthew 13:43), directly quoting Daniel.

Practical Takeaways for Believers
• God has already mapped out the future; nothing catches Him off guard.
• Suffering is real but temporary; deliverance and resurrection are certain.
• Staying wise—grounded in Scripture—brings clarity while the wicked stumble.
• Spiritual battles rage unseen, yet God’s angelic forces protect His plan.
• Faithfulness today secures shining honor forever: “those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars”.

Teaching Points:
The Time of Distress
Daniel 12:1 speaks of a time of distress such as never has occurred since the beginning of nations until then. This highlights the unprecedented nature of the tribulation period, emphasizing the severity and global impact of the events to come.

Deliverance of God’s People
The same verse assures us that at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. This promise of deliverance underscores God’s faithfulness to His covenant people.

Resurrection and Judgment
Verse 2 reveals the reality of resurrection, stating, Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt. This points to the final judgment and the eternal destinies of humanity.

Wisdom and Righteousness
Verse 3 highlights the reward for those who lead others to righteousness: Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. This emphasizes the eternal value of living a life that honors God and influences others positively.

Practical Applications:
Prepare Spiritually
In light of the coming tribulation, believers are called to strengthen their faith and remain steadfast in their walk with God.

Share the Gospel
Understanding the eternal consequences of the resurrection and judgment should motivate us to share the message of salvation with others.

Pursue Righteousness
Strive to live a life that reflects God’s righteousness, knowing that it has eternal significance and impact.

Trust in God’s Sovereignty
Even when the future seems uncertain, trust that God is in control and His plans will ultimately prevail.

Daniel 12, the concluding chapter of the Book of Daniel, continues and finalizes the long range prophecy given to Daniel by an angel. In this captivating finale, Daniel receives revelations of the end times, including a period of unmatched distress, the promise of resurrection and judgment, and the sealing of these prophecies until the end time.

hope you have a great day!
