But then, so is Isaiah 61. Isaiah does not differentiate the comings of the Messiah. On an apparent level, Isaiah seems to be talking about one coming of the Messiah. Only in the NT we learn that Messiah has 2 appearances. Similarly, Daniel 12 seems to talk about one resurrection but in the NT, we learn about 1+ resurrection. My question to you is whether you perceive it in the same way. | |

It was a question. And despite Revelation informing you of two resurrections, Daniel in context speaks of only one resurrection, correct? Exegetically speaking from the grammar it’s just one event with two groups. This evidently has theological implications, if it’s two events then only the just resurrect at the first resurrection and only the unjust resurrect at the second but if it’s one, then at the second it’s both the just and the unjust.

| Jan 22, 2025 at 16:31 | comment | added | Nephesh Roi | @NihilSineDeo – In order to understand your mind clearly, let me clarify one thing. I am asking a question in the same terms you have stated about Isaiah. Doesn’t “Daniel 12 describe two different events which we now know are also separated by time (1000 years)?” Besides, though I too believe personally in more than 2 resurrections, in my conclusion, I left Daniel with no details like the number of resurrections. So, aren’t I justified in setting aside my personal convictions, even in my conclusions? Thanks. (BTB, I forgot to give you an upvote). | |

However, while "the day of the Lord" is often undifferentiated, I often find tantalizing details in the Prophets. For example, Jesus fulfilled many prophecies, but when one examines each of them, they seem much more like tiny stars sprinkled through the dark heavens than the 10 Commandments. Another analogy would be the comparison of the subtle blending of colors in an impressionistic landscape with the heavy lead lines and bright colors of a stained glass window. | |
| Jan 21, 2025 at 16:32 | comment | added | Nihil Sine Deo | As I was reading your response I was going to mention Isaiah 61 and Luke 4 but how this is different to Daniel is that Isaiah 6 describes two different events which we now know are also separated by time however in Daniel it’s not two events it’s one resurrection or one awakening and two groupings. So while you think you laid aside your personal convictions you returned right back to them in the conclusion, leaving a door open that is not actually open, or even a door. Thank you for your response. Had you not inserted your view in the end I would have selected this response as it sufficed | |
