Daniel 12:1

Here is a most lovely account of Jesus, and of his office-character, as Mediator. I do not hesitate to believe, that the Michael here spoken of is Christ. In confirmation, turn to those scriptures. Revelation 12:7. How Christ then stood up for all eternity: how in time, and how forever; all his offices typify. Proverbs 8:22; Psalms 40:6; Hebrews 7:24; 2 Thessalonians 1:10. In every point of view, it must be a time of trouble. When Christ comes to make up his jewels, he comes also to take vengeance of them that know not God, nor obey the gospel of Jesus. Mal 4:1; 2 Peter 3:10. But what a sweet close is this verse, of the safety of Jesus own! Isaiah 4:3; Luke 10:20; Revelation 20:12.
