Video commentary on Daniel 12 by Dr. Bob Utley, retired Professor of Hermeneutics (Bible Interpretation). Daniel, like many of the Hebrew prophets, has a combination of genres: (1) chapters 1-6 are historical narratives written in the third person. They reflect Daniel's life and times; (2) Chapters 7-12 are future events often expressed in apocalyptic imagery in the first person. Apocalyptic literature is a uniquely Jewish genre. It was used in times of great stress to assure the faithful of God's control of history and the promises of future deliverance and blessing. It is characterized by highly symbolic language: colors, animals, number, visions/dreams, angelic mediation, secret code words and sharp dualism-between good and evil. The main truths are: (1) God was/is in control of history; trust in Him and remain faithful in difficult times; (2) the suffering of the people of God (Jews) was/is not complete; (3) God will set up an eternal kingdom through His Messiah; and (4) there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked.
