Session 11The Tribulation and Triumph of the Kingdom (Dan. 12)

I. INTRODUCTION AND OUTLINE OF DANIEL 12

The victory of God’s people over the Antichrist

1“At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people shall be delivered,
Every one who is found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever. (Dan. 12:1-3)

Details about the Great Tribulation

4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. 6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?” 9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 “But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.” (Dan. 12:4-13)

Jesus warned the Church more about deception in the end times than tribulation

4 And Jesus answered and said to them: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 5 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am the Christ,’ and will deceive many.

11 Then many false prophets will rise up and deceive many.

24 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show great signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (Mt. 24:4-5, 11, 24)

5 And Jesus, answering them, began to say: “Take heed that no one deceives you. 6 For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and will deceive many.

22 For false christs and false prophets will rise and show signs and wonders to deceive, if possible, even the elect. (Mk. 13:5-6, 22)

8 And He said: “Take heed that you not be deceived. For many will come in My name, saying, ‘I am He,’ and, ‘The time has drawn near.’ Therefore do not go after them. (Lk. 21:8)

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition,(Antichrist) (2 Thes. 2:3)

1Now the Spirit expressly says that in latter times some will depart from the faith, giving heed to deceiving spirits and doctrines of demons, (1 Tim. 4:1)

13 But evil men and impostors will grow worse and worse, deceiving and being deceived. (2 Tim. 3:13)

Jesus spoke of people being overcome with fear

25“And there will be…on the earth distress of nations, with perplexity, the sea and the waves roaring; 26men’s hearts failing them from fear and the expectation of those things which are coming on the earth…27Then they will see the Son of Man coming…with power.
(Lk. 21:25-27)

II. THE CONTEXT: THE ANTICHRIST

36“The king shall…shall prosper till the wrath has been accomplished…”45“He shall plant the tents of his palace between the seas [Mediterranean Sea and Dead Sea] and the glorious holy mountain [Jerusalem] yet, he shall come to his end, and no one will help him.” (Dan. 11:36, 45)

The Antichrist shall come to an end:

8Then the lawless one [Antichrist] will be revealed, whom the Lord will consume with the breath of His mouth and destroy with the brightness of His coming. (2 Thes. 2:8)

III. THE VICTORY OF GOD’S PEOPLE OVER THE ANTICHRIST (DAN. 12:1-2)

45“He [the Antichrist] shall plant the tents of his palace…[near] the holy mountain [Jerusalem] yet, he shall come to his end… 12:1“At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people [Israel]; and there shall be a time of trouble [the Great Tribulation], such as never was since there was a nation even to that time. And at that time your people [Israel] shall be delivered…2Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake [resurrection], some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Dan. 11:45-12:2)

Great Tribulation: .

15“Therefore when you see the ‘abomination of desolation,’ spoken of by Daniel the prophet…21For then there will be great tribulation, such as has not been since the beginning of the world until this time, no, nor ever shall be.” (Mt. 24:15-21)

The Abomination of Desolation:

As described by Daniel

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, “How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?”
(Dan. 8:13)

27 Then he shall confirm a covenant with many for one week;
But in the middle of the week
He shall bring an end to sacrifice and offering.
And on the wing of abominations shall be one who makes desolate,
Even until the consummation, which is determined,
Is poured out on the desolate.” (Dan. 9:27)

31 And forces shall be mustered by him, and they shall defile the sanctuary fortress; then they shall take away the daily sacrifices, and place there the abomination of desolation. (Dan. 11:31)

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. (Dan. 12:11)

As described by Paul

3 Let no one deceive you by any means; for that Day will not come unless the falling away comes first, and the man of sin is revealed, the son of perdition, 4 who opposes and exalts himself above all that is called God or that is worshiped, so that he sits as God in the temple of God, showing himself that he is God. (2 Thes. 2:3-4)

As described by John

11 Then I saw another beast coming up out of the earth, and he had two horns like a lamb and spoke like a dragon. 12 And he exercises all the authority of the first beast in his presence, and causes the earth and those who dwell in it to worship the first beast, whose deadly wound was healed. 13 He performs great signs, so that he even makes fire come down from heaven on the earth in the sight of men. 14 And he deceives those who dwell on the earth by those signs which he was granted to do in the sight of the beast, telling those who dwell on the earth to make an image to the beast who was wounded by the sword and lived. 15 He was granted power to give breath to the image of the beast, that the image of the beast should both speak and cause as many as would not worship the image of the beast to be killed. 16 He causes all, both small and great, rich and poor, free and slave, to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, 17 and that no one may buy or sell except one who has the mark or the name of the beast, or the number of his name.
18 Here is wisdom. Let him who has understanding calculate the number of the beast, for it is the number of a man: His number is 666. (Rev. 13:11-18)

The Great Tribulation

14He said to me, “These are the ones who come out of the great tribulation…”
(Rev. 7:14)

Michael shall stand up:

9 Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, “The Lord rebuke you!” (Jude 9)

12 Then he said to me, “Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard; and I have come because of your words. 13 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. 14 Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.” (Dan. 10:12-14)

Michael and his angels will cast Satan and his demons out of heaven

7And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon; and the dragon and his angels fought, 8but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. 9So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan…he was cast to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him…12Woe to the inhabitants of the earth… The devil has come down to you, having great wrath, because he knows that he has a short time.” (Rev. 12:7-12)

2 in which you once walked according to the course of this world, according to the prince of the power of the air, the spirit who now works in the sons of disobedience, (Eph. 2:2)

12 For we do not wrestle against flesh and blood, but against principalities, against powers, against the rulers of the darkness of this age, against spiritual hosts of wickedness in the heavenly places. (Eph. 6:12)

Your people shall be delivered:

13“One like the Son of Man, coming with the clouds… 14To Him was given dominion…and a kingdom…27Thekingdom…shall be given to…the saints of the Most High.”
(Dan. 7:13-14, 27)

2I will gather all the nations to battle against Jerusalem; the city shall be taken…and the women ravished. Half of the city shall go into captivity, but the remnant of the people shall not be cut off from the city. 3Then the LORD will go forth and fight against those nations.
(Zech. 14:2-3)

IV. THE RESURRECTION (DAN. 12:2)

2Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake [resurrection], some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever.” (Dan. 12:2-3)

29 So Jesus answered and said, “Assuredly, I say to you, there is no one who has left house or brothers or sisters or father or mother or wife or children or lands, for My sake and the gospel’s, 30 who shall not receive a hundredfold now in this time—houses and brothers and sisters and mothers and children and lands, with persecutions—and in the age to come, eternal life. 31 But many who are first will be last, and the last first.” (Mk. 10:29-30)

Shame:

9…punished with everlasting destruction from the presence of the Lord… (2 Thes. 1:9)

28Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear His voice29and come forth—those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation. (Jn. 5:28-29)

Revelation 20 teaches two resurrections occurring at different times.

4I saw thrones, and they [saints, Rev. 19:14] sat on them, and judgment was committed to them. Then I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded…who had not worshiped the beast…and they lived and reigned with Christ for a thousand years. 5But the rest of the dead did not live again until the thousand years were finished. This is the first resurrection. (Rev. 20:4-5)

Timing of the last trumpet corresponds with the resurrection, the rapture and rewards.

31 And He will send His angels with a great sound of a trumpet, and they will gather together His elect from the four winds, from one end of heaven to the other. (Mt. 24:31)

52…in a moment, in the twinkling of an eye, at the last trumpet. For the trumpet will sound, and the dead will be raised incorruptible, and we shall be changed. (1 Cor. 15:52)

16 For the Lord Himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. (1 Thes. 4:16)

7 but in the days of the sounding of the seventh angel, when he is about to sound, the mystery of God would be finished, as He declared to His servants the prophets. (Rev. 10:7)

15The seventh angel sounded…loud voices in heaven, saying, “The kingdoms of this world have become the kingdoms of our Lord…”18Your wrath has come, and the time of the dead, that they should be judged, and that You should reward Your servants…”
(Rev. 11:15-18)

16TheLord Himself will descend…with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first. 17Then we who are alive…shall be caught up [raptured]…to meet the Lord.
(1 Thes. 4:16-17)

13 So it shall be in that day:
The great trumpet will be blown;
They will come, who are about to perish in the land of Assyria,
And they who are outcasts in the land of Egypt,
And shall worship the LORD in the holy mount at Jerusalem. (Isa. 27:13)

14 Then the LORD will be seen over them,
And His arrow will go forth like lightning.
The Lord GOD will blow the trumpet,
And go with whirlwinds from the south. (Zech. 9:14)

3“Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever.” (Dan. 12:2-3)

Jesus emphasized God’s promise

43“Then the righteous will shine forth as the sun in the kingdom of their Father.” (Mt. 13:43)

41…for one star differs from another star in glory. 42So also is the resurrection of the dead. (1 Cor. 15:41–42)

19Whoever…breaks one of the least of these commandments, and teaches men so, shall be called least…but whoever does and teaches them, he shall be called great in the kingdom. (Mt. 5:19)
