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.

10505. 'And if not, blot me out, I beg You, from Your book which You have written' means that the internal side of the Word, the Church, and worship will not be destroyed. This is clear from the representation of Moses, who says these words, as the internal side of the Word, the Church, and worship, dealt with in 10468; from the meaning of 'book which You have written' as what exists there from the Lord, for 'book' means that which is present in the internal, while 'writing' - when attributed to Jehovah, that is, to the Lord - means what exists there from the Lord; and from the meaning of 'blotting out of it' as being destroyed. But at this point not being destroyed is meant because the reply which follows - 'him who has sinned against Me I will blot out of My book' - means that the internal side of the Word, the Church, and worship will not be destroyed but those who turn themselves away from the Divine, thus those whose interest lies in external things and not in what is internal.

[2] The reason why the book written by Jehovah, which in the next verse is called 'My book' or Jehovah's book, and elsewhere 'the book of life', means what is internal is that a person's internal resides in heaven, thus where the Lord is. Consequently the things within his internal are derived from heaven and exist from the Lord, and all are Divine and celestial or spiritual. They are able to be received by the person's internal, but not by his external separated from his internal. This is because his external resides in the world and has been fashioned to receive natural things existing in the world, which without influx through the internal things possess no heavenly life and are therefore said to be dead.

[3] All this helps to show what should be understood in the Word by 'the book of life' and who exactly should be understood by those written in that book, namely those who lead a life of truth and good, thus who in love and faith obey Divine commandments. A life in keeping with those commandments opens and fashions the internal man; and what has been inscribed there has been inscribed by the Lord and remains forever. They are the ones who should be understood by 'those written in the book of life' in the following places: In Daniel,

At that time Your people will be rescued, every one who is found written in the book. Daniel 12:1.

In John,

He who conquers will be clad in white garments; I will not blot his name out of the book of life. Revelation 3:5.

In the same book,

None will enter 1 the new Jerusalem except those who have been written in the Lamb's book of life. Revelation 21:27.

In the same book,

I saw that the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the book of life, and the dead were judged by the things written in the books, according to their works. And if anyone was not found written in the book of life, he was cast into the lake of fire. Revelation 20:12-13, 15.

In the same book,

All will worship the beast whose names have not been written in the Lamb's book of life. Revelation 13:8; 17:8.

There are other places in addition to these.

[4] It should be remembered that everything inscribed on a person's internal has been inscribed by the Lord; that what is inscribed there constitutes the person's actual spiritual and celestial life; and also that every single thing inscribed there has been inscribed on his love. See also 2474, 8620, 9386.

1. Reading Non ingredietur (He will not enter or None will enter), which Sw. has in his rough draft and in 8620, for Non ingrediuntur (They do not enter)
