The Time of the End
Daniel 12.1-3
Good News Translation (GNT)
*************************
1 The angel wearing linen clothes said, "At that
time the great angel Michael, who guards your
people, will appear.
Then there will be a time of troubles, the worst
since nations first came into existence.
When that time comes, all the people of your
nation whose names are written in God's book
will be saved.
2 Many of those who have already died will live
again: some will enjoy eternal life, and some
will suffer eternal disgrace.
3 [a] The wise leaders will shine with all
the brightness of the sky. And those who have
taught many people to do what is right will
shine like the stars forever."

the light of the stars that never die.

The Time of the End
Daniel 12.1-3
As the book of Daniel draws to a close, the archangel Michael, the protector of the Israelite people, reappears
(see Daniel 10:13).
His presence here is because there is to be a time of great anguish that will lead to Israel's deliverance, and Michael is seen as a comforting and protecting presence.
The angel Michael is often associated with spiritual battle.
Since Michael is called the archangel, he is Satan's true opposite.
Satan is not the opposite of Jesus; he is the opposite of Michael, this high-ranking angel.
God appointed Michael as a spiritual guardian over Israel.
That there shall be a time of trouble refers to the time of persecution for Israel and world calamity known as the Great Tribulation.
The Jewish people have known many a time of trouble through their history.
From the horrors at the fall of Samaria and Jerusalem to the 20th Century Holocaust.
Yet this time of trouble will be different.
This will be a worse time of trouble than Israel has ever seen before.
With great sadness, we must say that the Bible teaches that the worst has yet to come for Israel and the Jewish people.
The Jewish people will be targets of the full fury of the devil and his antichrist during this period,
