Daniel 12

Prophecy of the End Time MEASURED FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIBULATION TO THE RETURN OF JESUS.

Daniel 12:¹ “At that time (The time of the end: taken from chapter eleven) Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.

• Since Israel became a nation in 1948.
• Note: Michael, an angel, a messenger; is the angelic “great prince” over the Jewish people. “Shall stand up” to rise among others. To become the focus of attention. The word “watch” is in italics. It is not in the original Hebrew but has been added for clarification. However, I prefer the translation without this addition. I prefer: Michael who stands over the sons of your people. This wording isn’t just watching, it is protecting and directing according to God’s will.
• The “sons” of your people. Our children are our future. Michael stands over the future of the Jewish people.
  
  “A time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation”. There is a Seven-Year Tribulation coming: and in the middle of the Tribulation the Jews are attacked with the intention of their enemies completely annihilating them.
  
• The trouble began with the ancient hatred between Jacob and Esau.
  

And at that time your people (the Jews) shall be delivered,
Everyone who is found written in the book.

• Everyone who is found written in the “Book of Life.” Daniel 12:² And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth (died) shall awake (be resurrected),
• Some to everlasting life (The first resurrection: the faithful),
• Some to shame and everlasting contempt (Lit. abhorrence: the second resurrection: the disobedient).

Daniel 12:³ Those who are wise shall shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
And those who turn many to righteousness
Like the stars forever and ever.

• Humans, angels, and dark principalities are compared to stars throughout scripture.

The Wise are those who understand God’s priorities and make them their own.

Daniel 12:⁴ “But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase (explode: multiply exponentially. rāḇâ H7235)”

• To Seal Up
  • “Seal up until the time of the end” means it cannot be understood until the time of the end. If something is not to be understood, then God sealed it from men’s understanding.

In the time of the end, all mysteries will be revealed – and yes, all mysteries are now understood, confirming that we do indeed live in end times.

Last day understandings:

• Daniel 8:26 “And the vision of the evenings and mornings which was told is true; Therefore seal up the vision, For it refers to many days in the future.”

• Revelation 5:5 But one of the elders said to me, “Do not weep. Behold, the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, has prevailed to open the scroll and to loose its seven seals.” (To unleash those events which have been hid from understanding)

(Five were, one is, and one is yet to come. Revelation 17:10);

Would this also explain the rapture? The world believing the great number of disappearances would be because of people being taken by aliens?
  • * The one world religion (COEXIST) (United Faith Initiative in Jerusalem).
  • * The apathy and apostasy of the churches. (I Timothy 4:1, II Thessalonians 2:3)

Daniel 12:⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank (The physical?) and the other on that riverbank (The spiritual?) (A river is symbolic of masses of people traveling through time).

Daniel 12:⁶ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

Daniel 12:⁷ Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters (sea of people) of the river (of time), when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven (both hands), and swore by Him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time (3-1/2 years); and when the power of the holy people (The Jewish people who ran for their lives) has been completely shattered (they shall be hopeless), (then…) all these things shall be finished (at the end of the seven year tribulation).

• A “Time” is equal to one year. “Times” is two years. Half a “time” is one half of a year totaling three and a half years which is the last half of the seven year tribulation.
• See Topic: How do we know the tribulation lasts seven years?

Daniel 12:⁸ Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

Daniel 12:⁹ And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed (hidden) till the time of the end.

Daniel 12:¹⁰ Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but (at the end) the wise shall understand.

• NONE of the wicked shall understand.
• But the WISE who are living in the end times shall indeed understand!

BELOW: A PROPHECY OF THE END TIME THAT LASTS FROM THE MIDDLE OF THE TRIBULATION TO THE FIRST DAY OF THE FEAST OF BOOTHS IN THE FIRST YEAR OF JESUS’ REIGN ON EARTH IN JERUSALEM.

Daniel 12:¹¹ “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation (the desecration that makes desolate) is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days.

Daniel 12:¹² Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

• The High Holy Days are patterned after future prophecies:
• The proof of this concept is Daniel’s 1,335 days.

• The High Holy Days are ten days of affliction called the Yomim Noraim, where the Jews are instructed to afflict their souls in preparation for the Day of Atonement. The Day of Atonement is known to the Jews as the “Day of Return”. They see it as the day they “Return to God”, but the pattern of prophecies is such that it is the day when God returns to them, as Jesus in the flesh. See how the prophecies are patterned after future events.

• There are 1,260 days from the desecration of desolation (when the Antichrist begins his 3-1/2 year reign in Jerusalem in the middle of the Tribulation called the desecration that causes desolation. (Daniel 11:36) to Jesus’ return.

  “1,335 days is exactly 75 days more than the 1260 days (3-1/2 years) that the Antichrist will reign (in Jerusalem). So, if the Antichrist is destroyed on the Day of Atonement (Yom Kippur), then the extra 75 days lands us directly on the first day of Chanukah (Hanukah) in the future.”

• Hanukah is the day of the dedication of the second temple. The “Hanukah” of the future will be the day when the temple of the New Jerusalem, which comes out of heaven, is dedicated.
  • Revelation 21:1
    I, John, saw the holy city, New Jerusalem, coming down out of heaven from God, prepared as a bride adorned for her husband. And I heard a loud voice from heaven saying, “Behold, the tabernacle (temple) of God is with men, and He will dwell with them, and they shall be His people. God Himself will be with them and be their God.

• ►Blessed are they who survive until Jesus returns and is dedicated as the “Temple” in the New Jerusalem. His body is the Temple where the Godhead resides.
  • Rev 21:²² But I saw no temple in it, for the Lord God Almighty and the Lamb are its temple.
  • Rev 21:²³ The city had no need of the sun or of the moon to shine in it, for the (very) glory of God illuminated it. The Lamb is its light.

Daniel 12:¹³ “But you (Daniel), go your way till the end; for you shall rest (in death), and will arise (be resurrected according to your order) to your inheritance (the rewards of God) at the end of the days (time of the end) .”

• Daniel 12:¹³ KJV But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest (die), and stand in thy lot (order of resurrections) at the end of the days.

• What does it mean to be resurrected according to your order?
  • There are three “first” resurrections and they are compared to harvests: 1) The First Fruit (Jesus) with The Wave Offering (The Saints whose tombs were opened after Jesus was resurrected 2) The Main Harvest at the rapture 3) the Gleaning after the tribulation. (All of which are the “wheat”)
  • As far as we know there is only one “second” resurrection: the resurrection of the unrighteous (aka the harvest of “weeds”).
