Sutcliffe's Commentary on the Old and New Testaments - Daniel 12:1-13

Daniel 12:1 . At that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince. In the time of Antiochus, Michael the archangel did nothing for the Jews, but leave them in Roman bondage. Therefore under this name we must look for a higher prince than any created angel; even for Messiah the Prince of peace, who is as God, or one with God in the church. His title, as prince and potentate, is expressive of his sovereignty. He comes and stands up for the Israel of God, as captain of “Jehovah’s hosts.”... read more

Daniel 12:1-13And at that time shall Michael stand up.The Great ConsummationIt is a little unfortunate that this chapter has been severed from what immediately precedes it. Here we learn: 1. That the time of the Antichrist will be a time of unexampled distress. The trouble will be more or less upon all people then living upon the earth. 2. The time of the Antichrist is the time when Michael, the great prince over the Children of the prophet’s people, shall stand up in their behalf. Some think... read more

Daniel 12:5-13Then I, Daniel, looked.The Epilogue to the VisionHitherto the angel has prophesied the development of history, without adding any remark or exhortation. Here, however, he concludes his predictions by adding the strongest possible incitement to faithful perseverance; an incitement which must have had all the stronger effect since, though it is occasionally referred to in earlier prophets, the resurrection had never been brought forward so distinctly and powerfully, and especially... read more

Whedon's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:5-6

5, 6. In addition to Gabriel and Michael, whom Daniel has already seen, two “other angels” now appear to confirm the oath about to be made (Daniel 12:7; compare Deuteronomy 19:15). It is perhaps one of these who asks the angel Gabriel (see Daniel 10:5; Daniel 9:21), as he stands “above” the waters of the river (Tigris), the same question which has again and again pressed itself to the front in these visions, “How long shall it be to the end?” The answer is the same as before (Daniel 12:7;... read more
