2. many . . . that sleep —"many from among the sleepers . . . these shall be unto everlasting life; but those (the rest of the sleepers who do not awake at this time) shall be unto shame" [TREGELLES]. Not the general resurrection, but that of those who share in the first resurrection; the rest of the dead being not to rise till the end of the thousand years ( Revelation 20:3 ; Revelation 20:5 ; Revelation 20:6 ; compare 1 Corinthians 15:23 ; 1 Thessalonians 4:16 ). Israel's national resurrection, and the first resurrection of the elect Church, are similarly connected with the Lord's coming forth out of His place to punish the earth in Isaiah 26:19 ; Isaiah 26:21 ; Isaiah 27:6 . Compare Isaiah 25:6-9 . The Jewish commentators support TREGELLES. AUBERLEN thinks the sole purpose for which the resurrection is introduced in this verse is an incitement to faithful perseverance in the persecutions of Antiochus; and that there is no chronological connection between the time of trouble in Daniel 12:1 and the resurrection in Daniel 12:2 ; whence the phrase, "at that time," twice occurs in Daniel 12:2- : , but no fixing of time in Daniel 12:2 ; Daniel 12:3 ; 2 Maccabees 7:9, 14, 23 , shows the fruit of this prophecy in animating the Maccabean mother and her sons to brave death, while confessing the resurrection in words like those here. Compare Daniel 12:3- : . NEWTON'S view that "many" means all, is not so probable; for Romans 5:15 ; Romans 5:19 , which he quotes, is not in point, since the Greek is " the many," that is, all, but there is no article in the Hebrew here. Here only in the Old Testament is "everlasting life" mentioned. return to ' Top of Page ' <a name="verse-3" class="com-number"
