Daniel 12 concludes the final vision that Daniel receives and makes reference to in Daniel 10:1; “In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a message was revealed to Daniel, who was named Belteshazzar; and the message was true and one of great conflict, but he understood the message and had an understanding of the vision”. In this chapter (Daniel 12) the focus is on the events surrounding the time of the end which matches up with the description of events by Jesus in Matthew 24:15-25 and those written by the Apostle John in the Book of The Revelation which we often refer to as the Tribulation. The rather short chapter of Daniel 12 (just 13 verses) does not have the same specific detail as we find in Daniel 11, but the fact remains that the Lord has a plan of blessing for the people of the Covenant and all who follow Him. The Lord also has a plan for those who remain in rebellion against Him and choose to ally themselves with Satan and his demons which Daniel briefly speaks about here. There may remain a few unanswered questions and items of concern for Daniel but one thing that he could be sure of was a future resurrection to righteousness and to receive that which he was promised. We too can be sure of a future hope that was provided through the sacrificial death of Jesus Christ on the cross if we but trust and believe. (John 3:16, Romans 10:9-10)

I trust that you have enjoyed this study through the Book of Daniel and I would welcome and appreciate any thoughts or comments that you might have. I will be returning to the study that I had been working on titled “Kings and Queens – The Rise and Fall of Israel’s Monarchs” so be on the lookout for the completion of that study. God Bless you as you continue studying His Word.
