Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall
Michael stand up, the great prince which stands for the children of your
people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since
there was a nation even to that same time:
(The destruction of Judea) and at that time your people
shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book
(the believers.) 2 And many of them that sleep in the
dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to
shame and everlasting contempt.
(What the New
Testament says concerning this.) 3 And they that be
wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn
many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever. (The
ministry of those who followed Christ.) To see a more
complete explanation of this prophecy.
Joel 2:28 And it shall
come to pass afterward, that I will pour out my spirit on all flesh; and
your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, your old men shall dream
dreams, your young men shall see visions: 29 And also on the servants
and on the handmaids in those days will I pour out my spirit.
(New Testament realities.) 30 And I will show wonders in the
heavens and in the earth, blood, and fire, and pillars of smoke. 31 The
sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before the
great and terrible day of the LORD come. (Quoted by Jesus in his
prophecy about the destruction of Judea.) 32 And it shall come
to pass, that whoever shall call on the name of the LORD shall be
delivered: for in mount Zion and in Jerusalem shall be deliverance, as
the LORD has said, and in the remnant whom the LORD shall call.
(Obviously applies to deliverance from hell but also a specific prophecy
of deliverance from the judgments prophesied concerning Judea.)
Peter also quotes this in his first public discourse in Jerusalem
concerning the time period they were in.
Isaiah
65:8 Thus says the LORD, As the new wine is found in the cluster, and
one says, Destroy it not; for a blessing is in it: so will I do for my
servants' sakes, that I may not destroy them all. 9 And I will bring
forth a seed out of Jacob, and out of Judah an inheritor of my
mountains: and mine elect shall inherit it, and my servants shall dwell
there.
Isaiah 66:5 Hear the word of
the LORD, you that tremble at his word; Your brethren that hated you,
that cast you out for my name's sake, said, Let the LORD be glorified:
but he shall appear to your joy, and they shall be ashamed. 6 A voice of
noise from the city, a voice from the temple, a voice of the LORD that
renders recompense to his enemies. 7 Before she travailed, she brought
forth; before her pain came, she was delivered of a man child. 8 Who
hath heard such a thing? who hath seen such things? Shall the earth be
made to bring forth in one day? or shall a nation be born at once? for
as soon as Zion travailed, she brought forth her children....... 12 For
thus says the LORD, Behold, I will extend peace to her (the New
Jerusalem) like a river, and the glory of the Gentiles like a
flowing stream: then shall you suck, you shall be borne upon her sides,
and be dandled upon her knees. 13 As one whom his mother comfort, so
will I comfort you; and ye shall be comforted in Jerusalem. 14 And when
ye see this, your heart shall rejoice, and your bones shall flourish
like an herb: and the hand of the LORD shall be known toward his
servants, and his indignation toward his enemies.
