Daniel 12

Studie

   

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.

3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.

4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.

13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

Scriptural Confirmations # 15

15. 13. From Daniel and the Prophets.

The Lord was represented before Daniel in a form almost like that in which He was presented before John (Revelation 1:14-15).

Before Daniel (Daniel 10:5-6), and then almost like things happened (12:6-7).

In that day, butter and honey shall everyone eat that is left in the midst of the land (Isaiah 7:21-22, 25). The Church of the Lord.

(Jehovah of hosts, Him shall ye sanctify, for let Him be your fear, and let Him be your dread. And He shall be for a sanctuary; but for a stone of stumbling and for a rock of offense, for a gin and a snare for the inhabitant of Jerusalem. (Isaiah 8:13-14; Matthew 21:42-44; Luke 20:17-18).)

(The people walking in darkness have seen a great light: they that dwell in the land of the shadow of death, upon them hath the light shined. Unto us a Boy is born, unto us a Son is given, whose name is Wonderful, Counsellor, God, Hero, the Father of Eternity, the Prince of Peace; to establish the Kingdom in judgment and justice from henceforth to eternity (Isaiah 9:1, 5-6).)

In that day the remnant of Israel shall no more stay upon him that smote them; but shall stay upon Jehovah, the Holy One of Israel, in truth (Isaiah 10:20-22). Wherefore the wolf shall dwell with the lamb, the leopard shall lie down with the kid, etc. They shall not do hurt in all the mountain of holiness, for the earth shall be full of the knowledge of Jehovah. It shall surely come to pass in that day that the Lord shall again recover the remnant of His people (Isaiah 11:6-9, 11-16).
