The last vision of Daniel (chapters 10-12) prophesies the fate of Israel from Daniel and Darius' time (11:1) to the "end of days" as we know them. Daniel 12 has been called the climax of world history. Beginning in Daniel 11:36 through chapter 12 seven major factors are revealed: 1. There will be a world ruler. 2. There will be a world religion. 3. There will be a world war. 4. There will be a time of great tribulation for Israel. 5. God will deliver His people at the end of the tribulation. 6. There will be resurrection and judgment. 7. There will be reward for the righteous. Daniel 11: 36-45 reveals the first three of these factors. Now comes the climax.
