    Michael will stand up for God's people during the end times. There will be a time of trouble for God's faithful followers, but they will be saved if their names are written in the book of life. At the resurrection, some will rise to eternal life and some to eternal shame and contempt. The prophecies of Daniel were sealed until the end times beginning in 1798, then scholars began revealing their meaning leading up to the Millerite movement of 1843.

    TO STARS
    Lesson 13 for March 28, 2020
    The book of Daniel begins with the king of
    Babylon defeating Jerusalem and taking God's
    people captive.
    In the last chapter, Michael stands up and
    defends God's people.
    Hard times are coming. However, like Daniel,
    we’ll also receive our inheritance when the
    battle ends at the End Time (Daniel 12:13).

    The End Time:


    Michael stands up. Daniel 12:1
    The time of trouble. Daniel 12:1
    The resurrection. Daniel 12:2-3, 13

    The waiting time:


    The sealed time. Daniel 12:4, 8-9
    The revealed time. Daniel 12:5-7, 10-12
    MICHAEL STANDS UP
    “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who
    stands watch over the sons of your people.” (Daniel 12:1)

    The psalmist wondered “Who will rise up for


    me against the evildoers?” (Psalm 94:16).
    Michael stands up to defend us.
    Standing up is many times related to military
    actions (Ex. 15:7; Dt. 28:7; Jos. 8:3; Jdg. 9:23;
    2K. 3:24; 1Chr. 20:23; Psalm 2:2; Is. 14:22; 19:2;
    Dn. 8:25; 11:2, 14, 40; Mt. 24:7). Michael acts
    as a military leader who protects His people
    and leads them, especially during the last
    stages of the Great Controversy.
    The expression is also used in judgement
    settings (Dt. 19:16; Psalm 1:5; 12:5; 102:13; Is.
    28:21; 31:2; Mt. 12:41-42). Michael stands up
    as a lawyer too. He represents the people of
    God before the court in Heaven.
    THE TIME OF TROUBLE
    “Alas! For that day is great, so that none is like it;
    and it is the time of Jacob’s trouble, but he shall
    be saved out of it.” (Jeremiah 30:7)

    This time of trouble is not the overall


    distress before the Second Coming of Jesus
    (Luke 21:25), but a distress that will affect
    only the people of God. They’ll wonder if
    theirs sins have actually been forgiven.
    This time of trouble will begin after grace
    ends and God takes His Spirit away from
    Earth (Revelation 22:11), as the first plagues
    are poured down.
    Everyone “who is found written in the
    book” will be delivered. Which book?
    This is undoubtedly the Book of Life
    (Philippians 4:3, Revelation 3:5; 20:5).
    Everyone who has accepted Jesus will
    remain written in this book if they don’t
    apostatize. We’re saved by faith in Jesus!
    THE RESURRECTION
    “And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to
    everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.” (Daniel 12:2)
    There are two references to the resurrection (v. 2 and 13). This means that
    eternal life will be given to us in that moment, not when we die. We’ll sleep in
    death from the moment we die until the resurrection.
    We cannot do or think about nothing
    while we’re dead (Ecclesiastes 9:5, 10).
    Not even praising God (Psalm 115:17).
    However, death is already defeated.
    Jesus overcame death with His
    resurrection. Jesus will resurrect the
    saints, then “He will swallow up death
    forever” (Isaiah 25:8).
    The important thing is
    whether we’ll be
    resurrected to life or to
    death. It’s a decision we
    must make today, while
    there’s still time and hope.
    THE SEALED TIME
    “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.” (Daniel 12:4)

    Unlike Revelation, Daniel is a sealed book


    (Revelation 22:10). Nevertheless, the seal
    will be broken at a specific moment, then
    the book will be fully understood. That
    moment is the End Time.

    When does the End Time begin? As we studied in Daniel 11:40, the
    French Revolution and the imprisonment of the Pope by the Napoleonic
    army (1798 AD) indicate the beginning of the End Time.
    From that moment, numerous
    expositors in England, Joseph Wolff in
    the Middle East, Manuel Lacunza in
    South America, and William Miller in
    the United States, together with a host
    of other students of the prophecies,
    declared, on the basis of their study of
    the prophecies of Daniel, that the Joseph Manuel William
    second advent was at hand. Miller
    Wolff Lacunza
    THE REVEALED TIME
    “Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and
    thirty-five days.” (Daniel 12:12)

    After Gabriel finished his exposition, an angel asked Jesus


    (the man clothe in linen): How long shall the fulfillment of
    these wonders be?” (v. 6). Jesus swore that the end would
    come after a period of 1,260 years (3 and a half times).
    Daniel requested a detailed explanation (v. 8), so two
    prophetic times were given to him: 1,290 and 1,335 years.

    1,335

    1,260
    508 538 1798 1843

    1,290
    Pray that you’ll be one of
    508: Clovis gets baptized the many who will be
    538: Justinian gives the Pope political power purified, made white and
    1843: Millerism refined (v. 10)
    E.G.W. (Education, cp. 19, p. 178)

    “The history which the great I AM has marked out in His


    word, uniting link after link in the prophetic chain, from
    eternity in the past to eternity in the future, tells us where
    we are today in the procession of the ages, and what may
    be expected in the time to come. All that prophecy has
    foretold as coming to pass, until the present time, has been
    traced on the pages of history, and we may be assured that
    all which is yet to come will be fulfilled in its order.”
