Significance

Before Felix, Paul confesses "the same hope in God... that there will be a resurrection of both the righteous and the wicked" (Acts 24:15), a hope grounded in Daniel's prophecy: "many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt" (Daniel 12:2). Daniel gives the clearest OT statement of a twofold resurrection to reward and to judgment, and Paul claims it as the hope of the Law and the Prophets (Acts 24:14). This is no sectarian novelty but the fulfillment of Israel's Scriptures — and its guarantee is the resurrection already accomplished in Christ, the firstfruits (1 Corinthians 15:20), by whom God has fixed the day of judgment (Acts 17:31). The hope Daniel announced from afar now stands anchored in an empty tomb.
