Daniel's final vision
In Cyrus's third year, after three weeks of mourning and fasting, Daniel saw a glorious heavenly messenger and received a detailed prophecy ending with the resurrection of the dead.
Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. Those who are wise will shine as the brightness of the expanse. Those who turn many to righteousness will shine as the stars forever and ever.
Daniel 12:2–3 (World English Bible)
The messenger explained that he had been delayed by a spiritual battle with “the prince of Persia.” Daniel 11 traces conflicts between the kings of the north and south, widely matched with the Seleucid and Ptolemaic kings. Daniel 12 contains the Old Testament's clearest statement of resurrection to everlasting life or everlasting shame.
