Daniel 12 portrays a future time of great distress, surpassing any past tribulation. An angelic figure named Michael intervenes, bringing deliverance for God's faithful people. The text mentions a resurrection of the dead, some to everlasting life and others to shame. The wise will shine brightly, while the wicked remain unchanged.

The chapter concludes with a message of perseverance, assuring Daniel that he will find rest at his end.
