Michael, the Archangel is Israel’s angel. (Daniel 12:1)
“At that time Michael, the archangel who stands guard over your nation, will arise. Then there will be a time of anguish greater than any since nations first came into existence. But at that time every one of your people whose name is written in the book will be rescued.”
| Daniel 12 |
|
| 1 | "At that time there shall arise Michael, the great prince, guardian of your people; It shall be a time unsurpassed in distress since nations began until that time. At that time your people shall escape, everyone who is found written in the book. |
| 2 | Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake; some shall live forever, others shall be an everlasting horror and disgrace. |
| 3 | But the wise shall shine brightly like the splendor of the firmament, And those who lead the many to justice shall be like the stars forever. |
| 4 | "As for you, Daniel, keep secret the message and seal the book until the end time; many shall fall away and evil shall increase." |
Earlier this week (12-11-12) our 12th grandchild was born: Daniel Michael. I don’t know what inspired my daughter in law to choose that name, but it is apt that those names are linked in history. I’m saving your excerpt and will send it to our new baby’s parents.
