5. Daniel 12
1st resurrection, Israel protected in the wilderness

6. 1Co 15:19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. 1Co 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 1Co 15:21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, (Rapture) 1Co 15:24 then comes the end
Mat 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

7. 1Co 15:19 If we have hoped in Christ in this life only, we are of all men most to be pitied. 1Co 15:20 But now Christ has been raised from the dead, the first fruits of those who are asleep. 1Co 15:21 For since by a man came death, by a man also came the resurrection of the dead. 1Co 15:22 For as in Adam all die, so also in Christ all will be made alive. 1Co 15:23 But each in his own order: Christ the first fruits, after that those who are Christ's at His coming, 1Co 15:24 then comes the end
Note that the ‘end’ is the end of the Church age. This happens at the Rapture of the Church. The “fullness of the Gentiles” have come in. The end is when we have taken the Gospel to all nations. Some may say this isn’t the Churches job…
Mat 24:14 "This gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in the whole world as a testimony to all the nations, and then the end will come.

8. Act 1:6 So when they had come together, they were asking Him, saying, "Lord, is it at this time You are restoring the kingdom to Israel?" Act 1:7 He said to them, "It is not for you to know times or epochs which the Father has fixed by His own authority; Act 1:8 but you will receive power when the Holy Spirit has come upon you; and you shall be My witnesses both in Jerusalem, and in all Judea and Samaria, and even to the remotest part of the earth."
Mar 16:15 And He said to them, "Go into all the world and preach the gospel to all creation.
Mar 16:16 "He who has believed and has been baptized shall be saved; but he who has disbelieved shall be condemned.

9. The Great commission is given to the Church
The Great commission is given to the Church! We were given the Holy Spirit to fulfill the great commission and see the fullness of the Gentiles come in! So, when does the fullness of the Gentiles come in? Rom 11:25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in; Rom 11:26 and so all Israel will be saved
We find that the fullness of the Gentiles come in at the same time Israel recognizes Jesus as Messiah and is saved – their hardened hearts are opened!
Israel embraces Christ as Messiah after the abomination of desolation. They are then taken to the wilderness and saved from the wrath of God and the persecution of Satan.

10. Rev 12:13 And when the dragon saw that he was thrown down to the earth, he persecuted the woman who gave birth to the male child. Rev 12:14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. Rev 12:15 And the serpent poured water like a river out of his mouth after the woman, so that he might cause her to be swept away with the flood. Rev 12:16 But the earth helped the woman, and the earth opened its mouth and drank up the river which the dragon poured out of his mouth. Dan 12:1 "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Dan 12:2 "Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.
The woman is Israel – she is protected for 3 ½ years in the wilderness – the last half of the 70th week of Daniel.

11. Daniel 12 breakdown: vs. 1: “now at this time” When
Daniel 12 breakdown: vs. 1: “now at this time” When? When the AntiChrist is back at the Holy Mountain. He will come to an end - an end of his world peace and governance.   Michael is always seen as the protector of God’s people, even Moses, in Jude, where he fights over the Body of Moses. “ time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time”   It is highly significant that our Lord Jesus in the Olivet Discourse (Matt 24:21) picks up and enlarges on this prediction, saying: "For then there will be great distress [thlipsis] unequaled from the beginning of the world . Jesus in context says this will take place just after the Abomination of Desolation! (this is the breaking of the 6th seal)

12. Daniel 12 continued: Vs. 2 the Resurrection - imperfect tense - an incomplete action - an action and another action.   Our Rabbi’s agree - some will resurrect here for everlasting life, the others will not resurrect now, but will stay in the ground to their shame and be resurrected for judgement later. (Midrash, Rambam, haMishnah, Sanhedrin 10, Saadiah, HaRamban, and Emunos). Jesus taught two resurections in John 5:28-29 by teaching a "general" resurrection of the righteous and a general resurrection of the wicked. At Daniel 12:2, the angel taught Daniel that there would be a general resurrection of the righteous and one for the wicked. Daniel 12:13 speaks of a resurrection at the end of the age.

13. There are only two resurrections
There are only two resurrections! This clarifies Daniel 12: Rev 20:4 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. Rev 20:5 The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. Rev 20:6 Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

14. John has elsewhere indicated that the kingdom reign will be shared by every believer who overcomes (2:26-28; 3:12, 21) and is purchased by Christ's blood (5:10). Also, in 1 Corinthians 6:2-3, Paul clearly speaks of all believers--not just martyrs--exercising judgment in the future. Revelation 5:10 indicates that the kingdom will be a "reign on the earth." The first resurrection is the Rapture, and it happens after the martyrs number is complete! This is just after the 5th seal! Again we see a resurrection taking place at the 6th seal!

15. Israel is blind until the abomination!
And all Israel will be protected in the Wilderness Rev 12:5 And she gave birth to a son, a male child, who is to rule all the nations with a rod of iron; and her child was caught up to God and to His throne. Rev 12:6 Then the woman fled into the wilderness where she *had a place prepared by God, so that there she would be nourished for one thousand two hundred and sixty days.(3.4 years) Rev 12:14 But the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, so that she could fly into the wilderness to her place, where she *was nourished for a time and times and half a time, from the presence of the serpent. Who’s the ‘male child’ that was ‘caught up (raptured) at this point?
Rom 11:25 For I do not want you, brethren, to be uninformed of this mystery--so that you will not be wise in your own estimation--that a partial hardening has happened to Israel until the fullness of the Gentiles has come in;
Rom 11:26 and so all Israel will be saved; just as it is written, "THE DELIVERER WILL COME FROM ZION, HE WILL REMOVE UNGODLINESS FROM JACOB."
Rom 11:27 "THIS IS MY COVENANT WITH THEM, WHEN I TAKE AWAY THEIR SINS."
Israel is blind until the abomination!
That’s when the fullness of the gentiles come in!

16. At this time a great multitude that no one can count appears in heaven
At this time a great multitude that no one can count appears in heaven. This is the first resurrection! (Rev 20:6) Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

17. The first Resurrection – the Rapture The second Resurrection – judgment Revelation 20:4-6 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (5) The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.

18. All of this happens at the sixth seal – even what Daniel prophesied: The second Resurrection – judgment Revelation 20:4-6 Then I saw thrones, and they sat on them, and judgment was given to them. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded because of their testimony of Jesus and because of the word of God, and those who had not worshiped the beast or his image, and had not received the mark on their forehead and on their hand; and they came to life and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. (5) The rest of the dead did not come to life until the thousand years were completed. This is the first resurrection. (6) Blessed and holy is the one who has a part in the first resurrection; over these the second death has no power, but they will be priests of God and of Christ and will reign with Him for a thousand years.
Dan 12:1 "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued. Dan 12:2 "Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt. (Two resurrections separated by 1000 years!

19. Dan 11:44 “But reports from the east and the north will alarm him,”
At the end, Satan & the Antichrist will gather the world against Jesus
Rev 16:12 The sixth angel poured out his bowl on the great river, the Euphrates; and its water was dried up, so that the way would be prepared for the kings from the east.
Rev 16:13 And I saw coming out of the mouth of the dragon and out of the mouth of the beast and out of the mouth of the false prophet, three unclean spirits like frogs;
Rev 16:14 for they are spirits of demons, performing signs, which go out to the kings of the whole world, to gather them together for the war of the great day of God, the Almighty.
Dan 11:44 “But reports from the east and the north will alarm him,”

20. Armageddon

Rev. 19:11-21
