The Great Consummation
Daniel 12:1-13
And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your people…


It is a little unfortunate that this chapter has been severed from what immediately precedes it. Here we learn:

1. That the time of the Antichrist will be a time of unexampled distress. The trouble will be more or less upon all people then living upon the earth.

2. The time of the Antichrist is the time when Michael, the great prince over the Children of the prophet's people, shall stand up in their behalf. Some think this is the Lord Jesus himself.

3. The time of the Antichrist is also a time of blessed resurrection.

4. Then shall men receive their eternal rewards.

(Joseph A. Seiss, D. D.)
