QUES. 13.-"And at that time thy people shall be delivered every one of them that is found written in the book. And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt" (Dan. 12:1, 2). Does not the latter sentence refer to Israel's restoration, and not to the resurrection of the body? In Rom. 11:Israel's restoration is called ''life from the dead"; so also in Ezek. 37:May it not be said, ''Many of them that sleep, etc.," because some of Israel will be already awake?

ANS.-It seems evident that it is not a literal but a national resurrection that is here spoken of. The passages referred to by our correspondent would confirm this. We would rather think the "many" referred to the mass of the nation, almost equivalent to all, the nation as a whole, and not to the remnant, which would seem to be among those who awake.
