Some errors here Ray!! First of all, Dan 11 starts in 538/7 BC. Temple was not constructed by Ezra, as was completed in 516/5 BC, some 58 years before Ezra started his journey back to Jerusalem, in 458 BC, to help rebuild the city and its walls, which took a further 49 years to complete (first 7 weeks of years, of "70 Weeks" prophecy). As for the dead - we are not talking metaphorically here. We are talking about literally dead people arising and coming out of their memorial tombs and becoming part of the living again, in the 1st Century, but not before Jesus' resurrection-John 5:28,29.

You are still talking about the dead metaphorically here. Read Benson's commentary on Dan, 12:1 and 2 (especially 2) and you will find that all bases are covered, which is why I was happy to refer and quote him. Also, John 5:28 & 29 (not John 5:1-29, as you state) would seem to have a 1st Century connotation here, at least in the first instance, as is certainly not unique to the 1st Century alone.
