Daniel 12

Studie

   

1 At sa panahong yaon ay tatayo si Miguel, na dakilang prinsipe na tumatayo sa ikabubuti ng mga anak ng iyong bayan; at magkakaroon ng panahon ng kabagabagan, na hindi nangyari kailan man mula nang magkaroon ng bansa hanggang sa panahong yaon: at sa panahong yaon ay maliligtas ang iyong bayan, bawa't isa na masusumpungan na nakasulat sa aklat.

2 At marami sa kanila na nangatutulog sa alabok ng lupa ay mangagigising, ang iba'y sa walang hanggang buhay, at ang iba'y sa kahihiyan at sa walang hanggang pagkapahamak.

3 At silang pantas ay sisilang na parang ningning ng langit; at silang mangagbabalik ng marami sa katuwiran ay parang mga bituin magpakailan man.

4 Nguni't ikaw, Oh Daniel, isara mo ang mga salita, at tatakan mo ang aklat, hanggang sa panahon ng kawakasan: marami ang tatakbo ng paroo't parito, at ang kaalaman ay lalago.

5 Nang magkagayo'y akong si Daniel ay tumingin, at, narito, nakatayo ang ibang dalawa, ang isa'y sa dakong ito ng pangpang ng ilog, at ang isa'y sa kabilang pangpang ng ilog sa dakong yaon.

6 At ang isa'y nagsalita sa lalaking nabibihisan ng kayong lino, na nasa ibabaw ng tubig ng ilog, Hanggang kailan mangyayari ang wakas ng mga kababalaghang ito?

7 At aking napakinggan ang lalaking nakapanamit ng kayong lino, na nasa ibabaw ng tubig ng ilog, nang kaniyang itaas ang kaniyang kanan at kaniyang kaliwang kamay sa langit, at sumumpa sa pamamagitan ng nabubuhay magpakailan man na magiging sa isang panahon, mga panahon, at kalahati ng isang panahon; at pagka kanilang natapos na mapagputol-putol ang kapangyarihan ng banal na bayan, ang lahat na bagay na ito ay matatapos.

8 At aking narinig, nguni't di ko naunawa: nang magkagayo'y sinabi ko, Oh Panginoon ko, ano ang magiging wakas ng mga bagay na ito?

9 At sinabi niya, Yumaon ka ng iyong lakad, Daniel; sapagka't ang mga salita ay nasarhan at natatakan hanggang sa panahon ng kawakasan.

10 Marami ang magpapakalinis, at magpapakaputi, at magpapakadalisay; nguni't ang masasama ay gagawa na may kasamaan; at wala sa masasama na makakaunawa; nguni't silang pantas ay mangakakaunawa.

11 At mula sa panahon na ang palaging handog na susunugin ay aalisin, at matatayo ang kasuklamsuklam na naninira, ay magkakaroon ng isang libo't dalawang daan at siyam na pung araw.

12 Mapalad siyang naghihintay, at datnin ng isang libo't tatlong daan at tatlong pu't limang araw.

13 Nguni't yumaon ka ng iyong lakad hanggang sa ang wakas ay mangyari; sapagka't ikaw ay magpapahinga, at tatayo sa iyong kapalaran, sa wakas ng mga araw.

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)
