Unsealing Daniel's Mysteries: By Mark Finley

What happens when Michael “stands up” in Daniel 12? Scripture reveals a dramatic turning point in earth’s history. Daniel 7 portrays the heavenly judgment scene—the Ancient of Days and the Son of Man seated on thrones as judgment begins. But when Michael stands, judgment concludes and earth enters its final moments.

This study explores the Bible’s clear teaching on the time of trouble, the protection of God’s people, and the glorious deliverance that follows. Psalm 91 and Psalm 46 assure us that in earth’s darkest hour, God is our refuge and strength. While the world trembles, heaven intervenes.

Far from describing a secret event, Scripture presents the Second Coming of Christ as visible, powerful, and unmistakable. Jesus comes in the clouds. Every eye sees Him. Every ear hears the trumpet call. The earth shakes at His glory. It is the most spectacular event in human history.

Daniel also reveals that in the “time of the end,” knowledge would increase and prophetic understanding would expand. The once-sealed prophecies are now open. We are living in the days Daniel foresaw—days of decision, purification, and preparation.

This course walks through Daniel 12’s key prophecies, the prophetic time periods, and God’s final promise: His people will be delivered. Trials are not meant to destroy faith but to deepen it. Every challenge draws us closer to the One who guides kingdoms and cares for individual lives.

Daniel’s message is clear—God is in control. Evil will not triumph. Christ’s kingdom will stand forever.

We are living in the closing scenes of earth’s history. The question is not whether Jesus will come—but whether we are ready to meet Him.
