What does Daniel 12:2 mean, though, when it says that some will be resurrected to "everlasting life"? It means that those who are resurrected and come to know, or continue to know, and obey Jehovah and Jesus during the 1,000 years will ultimately receive everlasting life. John 17:3) This will be "a better resurrection" than the one in the past that brought certain humans back to life. (Hebrews 11:35) Why? Because those imperfect humans died again.
But not all resurrected ones will accept Jehovah's educational program. Daniel's prophecy says that some will be resurrected "to reproach and to everlasting contempt." Because they will show a rebellious spirit, their names will not be written in the book of life and they will not receive everlasting life. Instead, they will receive "everlasting contempt," or destruction. So Daniel 12:2 is speaking of the ultimate outcome for all resurrected ones based on what they do after the resurrection. (Revelation 20:12) Some will gain everlasting life; others will not.
