Daniel 12: Shine Like the Stars

Daniel 12 ends the book. At that time Michael will stand up for God's people, and there will be a time of trouble, but everyone found written in the book will be delivered. Many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever. Daniel did not understand everything, but he was told, go your way until the end; for you will rest, and will stand in your inheritance at the end of the days.
