Daniel 12 1 “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then. But at that time your people—everyone whose name is found written in the book—will be delivered. 2 Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever. <= Resurrection of the dead 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?” <= How long until the resurrection of the dead 7 The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time. <= The Jewish War was 42 months When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.” <= AD70 destruction of Jerusalem
Matthew 24 21For then there will be great distress, unequaled from the beginning of the world until now—and never to be equaled again. <= Quote from Daniel 12 22If those days had not been cut short, no one would survive, but for the sake of the elect those days will be shortened. 31And he will send his angels with a loud trumpet call, and they will gather his elect <= Resurrection from the four winds, from one end of the heavens to the other. 34I tell you the truth, this generation will certainly not pass away until all these things have happened <= Resurrection before the generation passes away
