Daniel

Daniel 12:1–2

¹“At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people — everyone whose name is found written in the book — will be delivered.

²And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.^a
