Daniel 12:1-3

At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book will be rescued. Many of those whose bodies lie died and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting disgrace.

The above scripture clearly teaches that the dead will be resurrected, as Daniel  was told that he would be raised in this resurrection.

Daniel 12:13

"As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you."

Daniel, A confirmed candidate of Heaven. A Life to emulate to make heaven.


The resurrection will not be the same for all people. Two distinct groups of people will be raised:

1. Those resurrected to experience new life
2. And those resurrected to experience shame- Make that not be our portion in JEUS NAME - Amen.

The two groups will be distinguished by moral , ethical, and spiritual characteristics. The resurrection will unveil the TRUE NATURE of a person, and there will be an ethical and spiritual accounting to God Most High.

The first group will experience a new existence called "everlasting life." Everlasting life that will refer more to the quality of life than to its length. Those who are truly wise know, relate to , and experience God, and they teach others this righteoussness and wisdom. This sometimes brings persecution, but we FRET NOT, because Daniel 11:3 equips us with the true knowledge that "And some of the wise will fall victim to persecution. In this way , they will be refined and cleansed and made pure untill the time of the end, for the appointed time is still to come"(Amen and Alleluiah to that)

The moral and ethical glory of those resurrected in the first group will be designated with the metaphors "shine as bright as the sky" and "shine like stars forever"

The second group will experience everlasting shame and disgrace instead of everlasting life because they are not morally, ethically, or spirtually renewed. The book of Revelation expands upon these two groups of Daniel's vision

Revelation 20:4-6
Then I saw thrones , and the people sitting on them had been given the authority to judge. And I saw the souls of those who had been beheaded for their testimony about Jesus and for proclaiming the word of God. They had not worshipped the beast or his statue, nor accepted his mark on their forehead or their hands. They all come to life again, and they reigned with Christ for a thousands years.( (I pray, may we be counted worthy to reign with Christ at the end time.(Amen)

Revelation 20:11-15
And I saw a great white throne and the one sitting on it. The earth and sky fled form his presence, but they found NO PLACE TO HIDE. I saw the dead, both great and small, standing before God's throne. And the books were opened including the "Book of Life. And the dead were judged according to what they had done, as recorded in the books. The sea gave up its dead, and death and the grave gave up their dead. And all were judged according to their deeds. Then death and the grave were thrown into the lake of fire. This lake of fire is the second death. And ANYONE whose name was not found recorded in the Book of Life was thrown into the lake of fire.

CONCLUSION

A true believer knows that ultimately he/she will be resuced from death. Everlasting life destroys death. Those who are raised have had their name INSCRIBED in the Book of Truth, and the Judge, the Ancient of Days approves of them.

1 Timothy 6:12-16
12 Fight the good fight of the faith. Take hold of the eternal life to which you were called when you made your good confession in the presence of many witnesses. 13 In the sight of God, who gives life to everything, and of Christ Jesus, who while testifying before Pontius Pilate made the good confession, I charge you 14 to keep this command without spot or blame until the appearing of our Lord Jesus Christ, 15 which God will bring about in his own time—God, the blessed and only Ruler, the King of kings and Lord of lords, 16 who alone is immortal and who lives in unapproachable light, whom no one has seen or can see. To him be honor and might forever. Amen.

God bless
