| From the Geneva Notes.
 | "The angel here notes two
things: first that the Church will be in great affliction and
trouble at Christ's coming, and next that God will send his angel to
deliver it, whom he here calls Michael, meaning Christ, who is
proclaimed by the preaching of the Gospel." |
|
| From
Matthew Henry's
Commentary.
| "And in the end the multitude
that sleep in the dust shall awake; many shall arise to life, and
many to shame. There is glory reserved for all the saints in the
future state, for all that are wise, wise for their souls and
eternity. Those who turn many to righteousness, who turn sinners
from the errors of their ways, and help to save their souls from
death, james
5:20 , will share in the glory of those they have helped to
heaven, which will add to their own glory." |
|
| From Wesley's Notes.
| "The meaning seems to be, as
after the death of Antiochus the Jews had some deliverance, so there
will be yet a greater deliverance to the people of God, when Michael
your prince, the Messiah shall appear for your salvation." |
|
| From the Commentary on the Whole Bible
(Jamieson, Fausset and Brown, 1871).
| "The Jewish commentators
support TREGELLES. AUBERLEN
thinks the sole purpose for which the resurrection is introduced in
this verse is an incitement to faithful perseverance in the
persecutions of Antiochus; and that there is no chronological
connection between the time of trouble in Da
12:1 and the resurrection in Da
12:2; whence the phrase, "at that time," twice occurs
in Da
12:1, but no fixing of time in Da
12:2, 3; 2 Maccabees 7:9, 14, 23, shows the fruit of this
prophecy in animating the Maccabean mother and her sons to brave
death, while confessing the resurrection in words like those
here." |

supposedly engaged in a war on terrorism, it may be opportune to reflect
on the ways in which the Bible appears to endorse and bless the recourse
to violence, and to ask what the implications may be for the task of
biblical interpretation." |
