Daniel 12:1-13: The Resurrection of the Dead

As the heavenly messenger draws the vision to a conclusion for Daniel, He relates the time of the final judgment and the resurrection of all flesh, both the just and the unjust. The heavenly messenger then instructs Daniel to seal these words until the end. As Daniel continues to look and listen, he does not understand all that he hears. However, the heavenly messenger tells Daniel to continue in his given vocation, even if all is not clear to him now. In trust in the one true God, Daniel will have rest now and resurrection on the Last Day, along with all the faithful. Rev. Dr. Jacob Corzine, Vice President of Publishing for Concordia Publishing House in St. Louis, MO, joins host Rev. Timothy Appel to study Daniel 12:1-13. "God’s Kingdom Endures Forever” is a series on Sharper Iron that goes through the book of Daniel. Although God’s people were exiled in Babylon, the LORD remained the true King. He strengthened His people for faithful confession in the face of idolatry, and through prophetic visions and dreams revealed that He would establish His everlasting Kingdom. This points to Jesus Christ, the Son of Man, who reigns over us and all creation.
