The Time of the End

12 “At that time Michael, the great prince [^Cangel] who ·protects [^Lstands by] your people [10:13, 21], will ·stand up [arise]. There will be a time of ·much trouble [distress], the worst time since nations have been on earth, but at that time your people will be ·saved [rescued]. ·Everyone whose name is written in God’s book will be saved [^LAll who are found written in the book; ^Cof life; Ex. 32:32; Ps. 69:28; Rev. 20:12]. ² Many people who ·have already died [^Lare sleeping in the land of the dust] will ·live again [^Lwake up]. Some will wake up to life forever, but some will wake up to ·shame [reproach] and ·disgrace [abhorrence] forever [Is. 26:19]. ³ The ·wise [insightful; 11:33, 35] people will shine like the ·brightness of the sky [firmament; dome; expanse; Gen. 1:6]. Those who teach ·others [^Lthe many] ·to live right [righteousness] will shine like stars forever and ever.
