C'mon, man! Here's the deal. In Daniel 12, the angel Michael shows up, saying that there's gonna be a time of trouble like nobody has ever seen before. See here, Jack, it's gonna be so bad that it'll be like a fire that devours everything in its path. It's gonna be rough. Or uh, you know, worse than rough. I tell you what, it's gonna be like the worst of the worst. My father used to say that it's gonna be like the end of the world, literally. It's gonna be a time of distress. Not gonna happen that everyone escapes unscathed.

But then, things get better. The angel says that after the trouble is over, many of the people will be resurrected, and they will live forever. What was that? Life everlasting, folks! Not joking. I'm talking about eternal life, no malarkey. It's gonna be great. Excuse me, but that's the good news. It's not the end of the world, it's the beginning of something better. See here, Jack, it's gonna be like a new beginning.
