Michael stands up and the resurrection opens — sleepers in the dust waking, some to everlasting life, some to contempt. The wise shine as the firmament, and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars; this is the harvest-fruit of the Holy Order's labor in the gathering. Daniel is told to seal the book until the time of the end, when knowledge shall be increased and the sealed mysteries surface for those preparing. The man clothed in linen, standing upon the waters, swears by Him that liveth forever: a time, times, and half a time, until the scattering of the holy people is finished. The wicked understand none of it; the wise understand. Daniel is promised rest, and to stand in his lot at the end of the days — foreordination held across the veil until the appointed Moed.
