Matthew Poole and continuators on Daniel 12:3

3 And they that be wise, shall shine as the brightness of the firmament , and they that turn many to righteousness , as the stars for ever and ever .

Here the faithful are called wise, i. e. to Salvation, and so these two members, include Teachers, and Disciples that are truly taught the way of Salvation, i. e. such as are taught of God to learn Christ as the truth is in Jesus, Ioh. 6.45. Eph. 4.21.

They that reach true justification by the righteousness of Christ, imputed to [illegible: 1 letter]aith which is the sum of the Gospel, and express i[illegible: 1 letter] by righteous walking, they shall have high degrees of glory.

By being diligent and faithful instruments in the Lords hand by the word of God, and a holy example of the conversion of Souls from an evil state from an evil heart, and from an evil Life unto God, They shall shine not in fame for a long time, as Grotius lamely renders it, but for ever and ever in heavenly glory as the words import.
