Danielius 12

Studie

   

1 “Tuo laiku pakils Mykolas, didysis kunigaikštis, kuris gina tavo tautiečius. Tada ateis tokie sunkūs laikai, kokių nebuvo nuo tautos atsiradimo. Tada tavo tauta bus išgelbėta­kiekvienas, kuris bus įrašytas knygoje.

2 Daugelis miegančių žemės dulkėse pabus: vieni­amžinam gyvenimui, kiti­amžinai paniekai ir gėdai.

3 Išmintingieji spindės kaip dangaus šviesuliai, kurie nukreipė daugelį į teisumą­kaip žvaigždės per amžių amžius.

4 O tu, Danieliau, paslėpk tuos žodžius ir užantspauduok knygą iki skirto laiko. Daugelis ją perskaitys ir įgaus pažinimo”.

5 Aš, Danielius, žiūrėjau ir mačiau stovinčius kitus du: vienas­šitame upės krante, o kitas­anapus upės.

6 Tada vienas klausė drobiniais apsivilkusį, stovintį ant upės vandenų: “Ar toli tų nuostabių įvykių galas?”

7 Išgirdau drobiniais apsivilkusį, stovintį ant upės vandenų, kalbant. Jis pakėlė savo dešinę ir kairę į dangų ir prisiekė amžinai Gyvuoju, tardamas: “Užtruks vieną laiką, du laikus ir pusę laiko; kai pasibaigs šventosios tautos galios naikinimas, tada visa bus įvykdyta”.

8 Aš tai girdėjau, bet nesupratau ir klausiau: “Mano Viešpatie, koks bus šių dalykų galas?”

9 Jis atsakė: “Danieliau, eik savo keliu, nes tie žodžiai yra paslėpti ir užantspauduoti iki laikų pabaigos.

10 Daugelis bus apvalyti, išbalinti ir išmėginti. Nedorėliai elgsis nedorai ir to nesupras, bet išmintingieji supras.

11 Nuo to laiko, kai kasdienę auką pašalins ir pastatys sunaikinimo pabaisą, praeis tūkstantis du šimtai devyniasdešimt dienų.

12 Palaimintas, kuris laukia ir ištveria tūkstantį tris šimtus trisdešimt penkias dienas.

13 Bet tu eik savo keliu iki galo, nes tu užmigsi ir atsikelsi atsiimti savo dalies dienų pabaigoje”.

606. From the above we can conclude that when we have not been regenerated, we see ghosts at night, so to speak, and think they are real people. When we are being regenerated, we become aware first thing in the morning that what was seen in the night was unreal. When we have been regenerated and are in broad daylight, we realize that our visions in the night were a form of madness.

People who have not been regenerated are dreaming; people who have been regenerated are awake. In fact, in the Word our earthly life is compared to a sleep and our spiritual life to wakefulness.

People who have not been regenerated are meant by the foolish young women who had lamps but no oil. People who have been regenerated are meant by the prudent young women who had lamps and also oil [Matthew 25:4]. The lamps mean things that belong to our intellect; the oil means things that belong to our love.

People who have been regenerated are like the oil lamps on the lampstand in the tabernacle. They are also like the showbread and the incense on the table and the altar there. They are the people in Daniel 12:3 who are as radiant as the brightness of the firmament and who shine like the stars for an age and forever.

[2] People who have not been regenerated are in the Garden of Eden, so to speak, but they eat from the tree of the knowledge of good and evil and are thrown out of the garden; in fact they are that tree. People who have been regenerated are also in that garden but they eat from the tree of life. The Book of Revelation makes clear that it is possible to eat from the tree of life: "To those who overcome I will give [food] to eat from the tree of life, which is in the middle of the paradise of God" (Revelation 2:7). The Garden of Eden means a spiritual understanding that arises from a love for truth; see Revelation Unveiled 90.

Briefly put, someone who has not been regenerated is a child of the evil one; someone who has been regenerated is a child of the kingdom (Matthew 13:38). A child of the evil one in this passage means a child of the Devil, and a child of the kingdom means a child of the Lord.
