Daniel 2:35

2:35 Then the iron, clay, bronze, silver, and gold were broken in pieces without distinction ¹  and became like chaff from the summer threshing floors that the wind carries away. Not a trace of them could be found. But the stone that struck the statue became a large mountain that filled the entire earth.

Daniel 3:27

3:27 Once the satraps, prefects, governors, and ministers of the king had gathered around, they saw that those men were physically ²  unharmed by the fire. ³  The hair of their heads was not singed, nor were their trousers damaged. Not even the smell of fire was to be found on them!

Daniel 12:1

12:1 “At that time Michael,

the great prince who watches over your people, ⁴ 

will arise. ⁵ 

There will be a time of distress

unlike any other from the nation’s beginning ⁶ 

up to that time.

But at that time your own people,

all those whose names are ⁷  found written in the book,

will escape.
