Bible Study: Daniel Chapters 12

Oh boy, the final chapter!

We are really at the end now. Those who are dead will rise to heaven or hell. Two men talking over a river say that when the holy people's power has been scattered then all these things will have come to pass. But Daniel doesn't understand.

A very specific number is given (on the order of a thousand days) that will pass between the end of daily sacrifice and the abomination.

Thoughts:
- I can't help but think that these are all prophecies that have already occurred, yet these are clearly prophecies that Hal Lindsey and his ilk believe describe the return of Jesus. It will be fascinating to see how different people map prophecies to various historical events
