Well I am assuming you are also trying to call the vile one of Daniel 11 Antiochus, but perhaps I am jumping the gun.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2 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.
Daniel 12:1,2 is an elegy about the Jews at the end of the exile. The majority shall awake to become conscious of the end of the exile when a small remnant will return from the the graves of the nations while the majority will choose to remain and be subject to shame and everlasting contempt. This is a reference to Isa. 53:8,9 which points to the fact that, when Jews are forced into exile, it is as if they are cut off from the land of the living aka the Land of Israel and graves are assigned to them among the nations. At the end of the exile, the Lord opens up those graves and brings them back to Israel aka the Land of the living which is an embellishment for the Land of Israel. (Ezek. 37:12)
