Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 8 and 9 “Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?” And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.” From Daniel’s standpoint, the 3 1/2 times were a LONG period of time. In fact, the time period was overwhelming to him, for he knew it indicated years, not days. He “heard”…
Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 7 “Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.” One of the two individuals asked the man clothed…
Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 5 and 6 “Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?” In antitype the “river” was the French Revolution. One proof is Rev 10:2, “And he [Jesus] set his right foot upon the sea, and his left foot on…
Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 4 “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end (1799 A.D.); many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.” Verses 1–3 are one picture, a continuous flow. In Verse 4 Gabriel interrupts, speaking only to Daniel. Then Verse 5 marks the start of a scene change. Therefore, there is no contradiction in saying that the running to and fro and the increase of knowledge happen…
Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 2 “And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.” The Ancient Worthies are among those who “sleep in the dust of the earth” and will awake. They will come forth from the tomb first (at “midnight”—Psa 119:62), and then the rest of mankind will follow in successive waves after the Kingdom is established. After Jacob’s Trouble the Kingdom will be…
Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 1 continued “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.” Thus, Michael will rise from a sitting position to “stand up.” Simultaneous with his standing up will…
Daniel Chapter 12 VERSE 1 continued “At that time Michael shall stand up, the great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book.” With respects to the question as to why the professing church is opposed to the thought that…
Before we begin our study of Chapter 12 a quick recap of Daniel Chapter 11 might be in order. Daniel 11 started with Alexander the Great as the head of the horn, or empire, that was broken and divided into four; that is, the empire had four divisions with a different general over each part. Then the account jumped down to Mark Anthony and Cleopatra. Next the account pointed out Augustus Caesar, the raiser of international taxes to keep Rome…
Revelation Chapter 11 The Seventh Trumpet As explained by Brother Frank Shallieu in The Keys of Revelation VERSE 19 continued “Then the temple of God was opened in heaven, and the ark of His covenant was seen in His temple. And there were lightnings, noises, thundering’s, an earthquake, and great hail.” Noah’s Ark and the Flood “And the Lord said, my spirit shall not always strive with man, for that he also is flesh: yet his days shall be a…
