Daniel 12, verse 2, speaking of the time that Michael stands up. He is talking about the end.
Now it conflates a great deal of time and the various resurrections, but obviously we get the idea that there are those who are in the dust who will rise out of the dust to new life.
And of course, I will not go to I Corinthians 15:51-52, which you probably all know. You know, the last trump, the dead in Christ shall rise, and we shall be changed. Also, I will not go to I Thessalonians 4:14-17 because this is very similar, what Paul says, that we who are alive and remain will meet Him in the air, but those who are dead, of course, will rise first.
But I do want to go to I Thessalonians 5, verses 9 and 10.
God here mentions two categories of people; those who rise to eternal life and those who rise to face shame. The opposite of glory is shame. Now go to Hosea 4:7. The prophet here is speaking about physical Israel but it has application to what we are talking about. I will be reading from the Amplified Version.
Daniel is referring to the time of persecution and trouble unlike any other, the Great Tribulation, immediately preceding Christ's return on the Feast of Trumpets. Next, Daniel mentions the first and third resurrections and the future brightness of the glorified saints here in Daniel 12:2-3
