Daniel was assured by the angel Michael that at the time of deliverance for his people, there would be a resurrection of the dead. There would be some who would rise to everlasting life (based on their faith relationship with God) and some who would rise to everlasting shame and contempt before God.

 

This is completely in line with New Testament teachings. John 5:25-29 records what Jesus said about resurrection. Everyone will respond to the voice of Jesus when He calls them from their tombs. All who have “done good” (cf. Ephesians 2:10; 4:24) will be resurrected to eternal life. This would be the first resurrection for the people of God who are forgiven of sin and redeemed in Christ - those who are called from the grave to meet Christ in the air (I believe this is the Rapture; 1Thessalonians 4:13-18) and those who are martyred in the Great Tribulation for not worshiping the beast or receiving its mark. They will all reign with Christ in the millennial kingdom (Revelation 20:5b-6) and be united with Him for eternity. All who have done evil will be resurrected to judgment before God, where each will be held accountable for their own unrighteousness. This is the second resurrection (Revelation 20:5a) as unbelievers are raised to face the Great White Throne judgment after the millennial kingdom of Christ's 1000 year reign on earth. In sovereign fairness and justice, just as God raises believers to reward their faith in Christ, He will also raise unbelievers to judge and condemn their rejection of faith.

Q3. (Daniel 12:2) What do we learn about resurrection?  IT'S PAYDAY FOR BOTH THOSE WHO SERVED GOD & THOSE WHO DID NOT.  ! "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt."

What is the future of the righteous who are raised? EVERLASTING LIFE

Daniel sees a double resurrection -- not only of the righteous, but also of the wicked, just as Jesus does (John 5:28-29). There will be a final resurrection to eternal life and to eternal condemnation. The righteous are referred to as "those who are wise" as in 11:33, 35. They will shine with God's glory eternally. And they will be a powerful influence on others who will turn to God.

Q3. (Daniel 12:2) What do we learn about resurrection? How does this compare with New Testament teaching? What is the future of the righteous who are raised? Why do you think the unjust will be raised also?

Resurrection is basically the restoration of the lives of the dead from the physical body raised to that of a spiritual body, as Paul, the apostle puts it, “….it is sown a natural body, it is raised a spiritual body.” (1 Cor 15:44) He further wrote that in another verse from the same chapter, “I declare to you, brothers and sisters, that flesh and blood cannot inherit the kingdom of God, nor does the perishable inherit the imperishable.” (1 Cor 15:50)

Jewish agricultural harvests are used as an analogy to illustrate the resurrection in the New Testament – “Firstfruits.” The Jews normally considered the first part of the harvest to be holy. Jesus if the first of the firstfruits, as written, “…Christ has indeed been raised from the dead, the firstfruits of those who have fallen asleep.” (1 Cor 15:20) Here in the New Testament the resurrection became a reality only through Jesus but in the Old Testament it remained as a prophecy.

Note:

This is something that keeps coming back to my mind and keeps bugging me since we’ve discussed this subject of RESURRECTION. I know that SALVATION is not only for the Jews but it’s also for the Gentiles because Jesus has implied it in Matt 11:20~24.

“Then Jesus began to denounce the towns in which most of his miracles had been performed, because they did not repent. “Woe to you, Chorazin! Woe to you, Bethsaida! For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Tyre and Sidon, they would have repented long ago in sackcloth and ashes. But I tell you, it will be more bearable for Tyre and Sidon on the day of judgment than for you. And you, Capernaum, will you be lifted to the heavens? No, you will go down to Hades. For if the miracles that were performed in you had been performed in Sodom, it would have remained to this day. But I tell you that it will be more bearable for Sodom on the day of judgment than for you.”

But what about the billions of people who have died without knowing the One True God or even heard heard the name of Jesus ? Will God punish them for their ignorance ? Will there be no salvation for them ?

On the day of fulfillment the righteous will inherit everlasting lives, like stars forever and ever.

We need to seriously acknowledge resurrection of both the faithful and the unjust for different purposes. Jesus mentions this in the John’s Gospel, “Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out, those who have done what is good will rise to live, and those who have done what is evil will rise to be condemned.”

Q 3. (Daniel 12:2) 

What do we learn about resurrection? 

How does this compare with New Testament teaching? 

What is the future of the righteous who are raised? 

Why do you think the unjust will be raised also?

With the overthrow of Antichrist our Lord will descend from heaven (1 Thessalonians 4:16). It is then when the events Daniel mentions in verse 2 will occur. The third day will be a resurrection day – all are going to rise. But, at the same time, it is also going to be a division day in which our Lord will divide us, as a shepherd divides His sheep from the goats (Matthew 25:32). All the dead will pass to one or the other destinies – some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are truly born again, and have put their faith in Christ will go to spend eternity in heaven with the Lord. They have obeyed Him, they abide in Him, and they walk in the light. Having put their trust in Jesus, their salvation is assured. All the elect that the Father gave to His Son will be raised to life in the resurrection – this is the eternal security we have. Damnation is because of the rejection of God’s Son. The New Testament passages show us that the resurrection to life will occur in stages with the church at the Rapture, and the Tribulation saints at our Lord’s Second Coming at the end of the Tribulation. Finally, those who will be condemned will be raised at the end of the Millennium (Revelation 20:11-15).

We learn that there will be a double resurrection.  Many of the bodies that lie dead and buried will rise up, the righteous and the wicked.  The future of the righteous is everlasting life.  The unjust will be raised for eternal condemnation.

All will be raised, some to everlasting life and some to eternal shame for all have eternal souls.  The righteous who are raised will be priests of God  and of Christ and will reign with Him.  The Lord died so that all could share in this.

The unjust will be raised also to their rewards which will be everlasting contempt and weeping and wailing.  It will be unparalleled misery for such as no words can express.  The Lord is not willing that any should perish but that all should come to repentance, however it is clear that many will die unsaved and it will be too late for them.  No hope for them anymore.

God Bless!

Q3 (Daniel 12:2) What do we learn about the resurrection?

 

We learn that there will be a resurrection!  Both for the righteous and the unrighteous! (Scripture interprets scripture...always written by the same Holy Spirit throughout!)

 

 How does this compare with New Testament teaching?

 

It is in perfect agreement with the New Testament. Heb 9:27 "It is appointed for all men and women once to die and after that the certain judgment".

 

What is the future of the righteous who are raised?

 

Everlasting life! (with our Lord!)

 

Why do you think the unjust will be raised also?

 

They must bow their knee to the Lord Jesus Christ....then face the judgment for rejecting His gift of eternal life while they were alive. The unjust will be raised to "Everlasting shame and everlasting contempt and abhorrence." Dan 12: 2  see also John 5:29​

Daniel 12:2-3 says, "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt.  Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever." (12:2-3)  Jesus says in John 5:28-29, 

"Do not be amazed at this, for a time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice a
nd come out--those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned."  Those who trust in Jesus and are clothed with His righteousness will be saved and resurrected to eternal life and those who reject Jesus and have done evil will be condemned.

What do we learn about resurrection?

 

In the last days,  Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever." (12:2-3).

 

How does this compare with New Testament teaching?   

 

By Jesus' day, many Jews believed in the resurrection of the dead on the Last Day. The Pharisees dogmatically affirmed resurrection in opposition to the Sadducees, who emphatically denied that\\there was a resurrection to come. Jesus publicly took the Pharisees' position on the truth of the resurrection (Matthew 22:23-34; Luke 14:14). Jesus said: "A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out -- those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. (John 5:28-29).

 

What is the future of the righteous who are raised?

 

The future of the righteous who are raised will be those whol aedw are referred to as "those who are wise" as in 11:33, 35. They will shine with God's glory eternally ("for ever and ever"). And they will be a powerful influence on others who will turn to God.

 

Why do you think the unjust will be reaised also?

 

T he unjust will be raised also to be judged bg Jesus to eternal damnnation (John 5:29).

Q3. (Daniel 12:2) What do we learn about resurrection? How does this compare with New Testament teaching?

 

Daniel sums it up in a nutshell. "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, 

others to shame and everlasting contempt." In the context of the text, this will happen in the end times. This is consistent with New Testament teaching.

 

 

 

What is the future of the righteous who are raised?

 

Glory and fellowship with God.

 

 

 

Why do you think the unjust will be raised also?

 

We'd really have to ask God why He'd bother raising the unrighteous sinners just to condemn them. My own take on this is that God is a holy being. We can't fully grasp holiness because we're not holy. Even in a sanctified state we're sinners saved by grace. To satisfy His holiness God must be seen to punish unrighteousness. It's the same way with the devil. Why not simply eradicate him? we ask. Why tolerate sin when with a spoken word God can cause everything to be made shiny and new again? Why does He have a timetable? Again I believe this is because He needs to be seen to triumph over His enemies in a real and tangible way. Even though He created His enemies in the first place, God, for whatever reason, feels the need to let it all play out. God is committed to showing His entire creation that good will triumph over evil.

 

Some branches of Christendom believe that if you die in your sins you're just gonna be annihilated. They don't believe in hell or that we go to be with God in Heaven. Their best hope is for them to be raised to live on the new earth under Jesus' rule. To me that's not incentive enough to be righteous. "Eat, drink, and be merry because tomorrow we die." If we die in our sins and are annihilated, so what? We had a good run! With no afterlife in which to regret our actions in this life, why worry? This thinking is erroneous because Jesus Himself taught more about hell than any other subject while on earth. To dismiss that as just a reference to the rubbish pile outside Jerusalem is ridiculous.

Q3. (Daniel 12:2) What do we learn about resurrection? How does 

this compare with New Testament teaching? What is the future of the 

righteous who are raised? Why do you think the unjust will be raised 

also?

 

1. "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: 
some to everlasting life, 
others to shame and everlasting contempt." (Daniel 12:2)

Indeed, Jesus affirmed that he personally would raise believers up 

on the Last Day (John 6:39-40). This expectation of the resurrection 

on the Last Day is the understanding of the early church as well

  1. In the old testament it states: God was revealing to his people an 

understanding of life beyond the grave, of eternal life, and of resurrection.

 "The LORD brings death and makes alive; he brings down to the grave and

 raises up." (1 Samuel 2:6)

In the new testament it states: "A time is coming when all who are in their

graves will hear his voice and come out -- those who have done good 

will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be

condemned. (John 5:28-29)

All in the grave will arise saved and unsaved.

  1. Those who have done good will rise to live. They will live

eternally.

4. The unjust will be raised to be judged.

What we learn from Daniel 12:2 concerning resurrection is those that are asleep in the dust of the earth will awake to everlasting life, the others to shame and everlasting contempt.

In the New Testament Jesus also taught about the resurrection of those who are dead. In the Book of Revelation we also see the dead to be resurrected.

The future of the righteous who are bodily raised will be everlasting life with God.

The unjust will also be raised as stated in the New Testament book of Revelation, they will be bodily raised and suffer eternal separation from God.

We learn that all those who died will be awaken by the Lord Jesus Christ voice. Daniel foretold this before the New Testament was written. His teaching is found throughout the New Testament. The righteous who are raised will live with Christ forever. The unjust will be raised to be judged by their life on earth also.

We learn from the book of Daniel that there is resurrection of the dead.

 

In the new testament  Jesus said:

"A time is coming when all who are in their graves will hear his voice and come out -- those who have done good will rise to live, and those who have done evil will rise to be condemned. (John 5:28-29)

Indeed, Jesus affirmed that he personally would raise believers up on the Last Day (John 6:39-40).

 

The righteous who are raised will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.​

 

The unjust will be raised also, so that they will be judged for their misdeeds.

To accurately define the resurrection is death the separation of the body and the spirit. Thus, resurrection is the reuniting of the body and spirit into a perfect being.

The body and mind will be perfect; there will be no diseases, illnesses, deformities, or other disabilities. The body and spirit will never again be separated- and die.

"Resurrected beings have bodies of flesh and bones, tangible, corporeal bodies, bodies that occupy space, digest food, and have power, outwardly, to appear as mortal bodies do.

"Resurrected beings have bodies of flesh and bones, tangible, corporeal bodies, bodies that occupy space, digest food, and have power, outwardly, to appear as mortal bodies do

Every person who has been born (and thus died) on Earth will be resurrected. It is a free gift to all and is not the result of good works or faith

Although every person will receive a resurrected body, not all will receive this gift at the same time. Jesus Christ was the first to break the bands of death. At the time of His resurrection, all the righteous dead who had lived from the day of Adam were also resurrected. To those who lived before the resurrection of Christ, this was known as the first resurrection.

Thus, in the Old Testament death is viewed as the end of physical life but not the termination of existence. The dead, though separated from this life, continued to exist.

 

This is a clear reference to the resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked, although the eternal destiny of each will be quite different. Up to this point in time, teaching about the resurrection was not common, although every Israelite believed that one day he or she would be included in the restoration of the new Kingdom. This reference to a bodily resurrection of both the saved and the lost was a sharp departure from common belief. Job 19:25-26; Psalms 16:10; and Isaiah 26:19 for other Old Testament references to the resurrection.

Both the just and unjust will be raised one to everlasting life and the other to judgement. Jesus taught resurrection of the dead. The righteous will have eternal life to be with Jesus. The unjust have to face judgement.

We are told that there will be a physical resurrection of all who have died (Daniel 12:2; John 5:28,29; 1Thessalonians 4:13-18). There appears to be a progression on the resurrection theme in the Old Testament, culminating in the book of Daniel 12:2- "Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake:
some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt." Jesus teaching in the New Testament is consistent with Daniel. Paul continues this theme, including in the book of Acts (24:15) and 1Thessalonians (4:13-18)-the righteous will be raised to "...everlasting life" and the "evil" to condemnation. All will be raised.

Daniel and Revelation teach us that all human beings will rise again. Revelations approaches the first and the second resurrection. So, the wise ones will rise again to eternal salvation and the unjust to condemnation. I think unjust will be raised to receive an eternal body. So, body, soul and spirit of the unjust will suffer forever.
