Daniel 12

Studie

   

1 Und in jener Zeit wird Michael aufstehen, der große Fürst, der für die Kinder deines Volkes steht; und es wird eine Zeit der Drangsal sein, dergleichen nicht gewesen ist, seitdem eine Nation besteht bis zu jener Zeit. Und in jener Zeit wird dein Volk errettet werden, ein jeder, der im Buche geschrieben gefunden wird.

2 Und viele von denen, die im Staube der Erde schlafen, werden erwachen: diese zu ewigem Leben, und jene zur Schande (Eig. zu Schanden, d. h. zur Fülle von Schande,) zu ewigem Abscheu.

3 Und die Verständigen werden leuchten wie der Glanz der Himmelsfeste, und die, welche die Vielen zur Gerechtigkeit weisen, wie die Sterne, immer und ewiglich.

4 Und du, Daniel, verschließe (O. verwahre) die Worte und versiegele das Buch bis zur Zeit des Endes. Viele werden es durchforschen, und die Erkenntnis wird sich mehren.

5 Und ich, Daniel, sah: und siehe, zwei andere standen da, einer hier am Ufer des Stromes, und einer dort am Ufer des Stromes.

6 Und einer sprach zu dem in Linnen gekleideten Mann, welcher oben über dem Wasser des Stromes war (Vergl. Kap. 10,4. 5.) :Wie lange wird dauern das Ende (d. h. der Zeitabschnitt des Endes) dieser wunderbaren Dinge?

7 Und ich hörte den in Linnen gekleideten Mann, welcher oben über dem Wasser des Stromes war, und er erhob seine echte und seine Linke zum Himmel und schwur bei dem, der ewig lebt: Eine Zeit, Zeiten (Eig. Bis auf eine bestimmte Zeit, bestimmte Zeiten) und eine halbe Zeit; und wenn die Zerschmetterung der Kraft des heiligen Volkes vollbracht sein wird, dann werden alle diese Dinge vollendet sein.

8 Und ich hörte es, aber ich verstand es nicht; und ich sprach: Mein Herr, was wird der Ausgang von diesem sein?

9 Und er sprach: Gehe hin, Daniel; denn die Worte sollen verschlossen und versiegelt sein bis zur Zeit des Endes.

10 Viele werden sich reinigen und weiß machen und läutern, aber die Gottlosen werden gottlos handeln; und keine der Gottlosen werden es verstehen, die Verständigen aber werden es verstehen.

11 Und von der Zeit an, da das beständige Opfer abgeschafft wird, und zwar um den verwüstenden Greuel aufzustellen, sind 1290 Tage.

12 Glückselig der, welcher harrt und 1335 Tage erreicht!

13 Du aber gehe hin bis zum Ende; und du wirst ruhen, und wirst auferstehen zu deinem Lose am Ende der Tage.

In Genesis 37:7, this signifies the doctrine of the Lord's Divine Human as the supreme doctrine for worship. (Arcana Coelestia 4687)

In Psalms 7:10; 11:2; 15:1, 2; 18:23, 25; 84:11, this signifies what is true from charity or good-will from the Lord. (Arcana Coelestia 612)

4687. 'And behold, my sheaf arose and also stood up' means teaching concerning the Lord's Divine Human. This is clear from the meaning of 'a sheaf' as doctrinal teaching, dealt with immediately above; and from the meaning of 'arising and standing up' as that which is the highest and is going to reign and which they are going to worship. The highest object of worship is the Lord's Divine Human, as is evident from the descriptions which follow: The eleven sheaves bowed down to that sheaf, and in the second dream the sun, moon, and eleven stars bowed down to Joseph (meaning that which is highest and is going to reign and which they are going to worship), on account of which dreams Jacob says, 'Are we indeed to come - I and your mother, and your brothers - to bow down to you to the earth?' The Lord's Divine Truth is that which is represented by 'Joseph', as stated above, the highest aspect of it being the Lord Himself, and the highest among matters of doctrine being that His Human is Divine.

[2] So far as this highest matter of doctrine is concerned, the Most Ancient Church, which was celestial and was called Man more so than all others, worshipped the Infinite Being (Esse) and the Infinite Manifestation (Existens) of that Being. And because they could not have any perception of an Infinite Being, yet could have - from what they could perceive in their internal man, what they could experience with their senses in their external man, and what was visible to them in the world - some perception of the Infinite Manifestation of the Infinite Being, they therefore worshipped the Infinite Manifestation which held the Infinite Being within it. That Infinite Manifestation holding the Infinite Being within it they perceived as a Divine Man. They did so because they knew that the Infinite Manifestation was brought forth from the Infinite Being by means of heaven. And because heaven is the Grand Man corresponding to every single part of the human being - as has been shown at the ends of chapters before this one and will be shown at the ends of several more coming after it they were unable to have through perception any other conception of the Infinite Manifestation of an Infinite Being than that of a Divine Man. For whatever passes from the Infinite Being by way of heaven as the Grand Man presents an image of that Being in every single thing. When that celestial Church started to fall they foresaw that that Infinite Manifestation could not continue any longer to come into people's minds and that this being so the human race would perish. For this reason they received by revelation the knowledge that One was to be born who would make Divine the Human within Himself and in this way an Infinite Manifestation like that which had existed previously would come about, and would at length be one with the Infinite Being as this had also been previously. From this arose their prophecy concerning the Lord contained in Genesis 3:15.

[3] This whole matter is described in John as follows,

In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was in the beginning with God. All things were made by Him, and without Him was not anything made that was made. In Him was life, and the life was the light of men. And the Word became flesh and dwelt among us; and we beheld His glory as of the Only begotten from the Father, full of grace and truth. John 1:1-4, 14.

'The Word' is Divine Truth which in its Essence is the Infinite Manifestation of the Infinite Being, and is the Human of the Lord Himself. This Human is the source from which Divine truth now proceeds and flows into heaven, and through heaven into the minds of men. Consequently this Human rules and governs everything, even as it has done so from eternity; for it is one and the same with the Infinite being by virtue of His joining the Human to the Divine, which He effected by making even the Human within Him Divine. From this it may now be seen that the highest aspect of Divine truth is the Lord's Divine Human, and from this that the Church's highest matter of doctrine is that His Human is Divine.
