IN TODAYS STUDY WE ARE GOING TO CONCLUDE THE BOOK OF DANIEL.
THE SUBJECT OF THIS CHAPTER IS TRIBULATION AND THE MILLENNIUM SANCTUARY.
Daniel 12:1 And at that time (THE TIME OF TRIBULATION. NOTE THE THREE SUBJECTS THUS CONNECTED WITH :THE TIME OF THE END") Michael (MICHAEL IS THE ANGEL OF OUR PEOPLE) stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy People: and there shall be a time of trouble (JACOB'S TROUBLE), such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy People shall be delivered, everyone that shall be found written in the book.
GOD'S ELECT WILL BE DELIVERED UP TO SATAN'S HEADQUARTERS.
GOD WIL SPEAK THROUGH HIS ELECT AND HIS MESSAGE WILL BE HEARD THROUGHOUT THE WORLD.
12:2 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.
THE SUBJECT HERE IS THE ONES THAT HAVE DIED DURING THAT TRIBULATION, NOT THE ONES WHO HAVE PASSED ON.
IT HAS A DUAL MEANING: THERE ARE SOME THAT FOLLOWED THE TRUTH AND OTHERS THAT FOLLOWED FALSE TEACHERS.
THE ONES WHO WERE MISLED WILL BE ASHAMED TO FACE THE TRUE MESSIAH WHEN HE RETURNS (REV. 6:15-17). THEY WILL LEARN IN THE MILLENNIUM BUT THEY WILL BE CHASTISED. THEY WILL HAVE TO BE TESTED AGAIN BY SATAN WHEN HE IS RELEASED FOR A SHORT TIME (REV. 20).
THE ONES WHO WERE NOT MISLED WILL BE PRIESTS WITH CHRIST IN THE MILLENNIUM. THEY OVERCAME SATAN'S DECEPTION.
12:3 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars forever and ever.
THE ONES, GOD'S ELECT WILL TEACH AND THEY WILL TURN MANY RIGHT WITH GOD AGAIN.
12:4 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 (APOSTATIZE IN THE HEB), and knowledge shall be increased.
IN OTHER WORDS, SEAL THE BOOK DANIEL (BECAUSE IT WAS NOT MEANT FOR HIS TIME). MANY WILL APOSTATIZE, FALL INTO SATAN'S LIES.
12:5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on his side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river (TIGRIS=BETWEEN IRAN AND IRAQ).
12:6 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?
HOW LONG THOSE MARVELOUS WORKS LAST ? HOW LONG SATAN WILL HAVE ?
12:7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters (STAND 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 forever that it shall be a time, times, and a half; and when he shall accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
HE SAID THAT SATAN WILL BE HERE 3 1/2 YEARS. HOWEVER, CHRIST SHORTENED THAT TIME TO 5 MONTHS FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE (MARK 13:20, REV. 9:10-11).
WHY CHRIST DID THAT? BECAUSE SATAN IS SUPERNATURAL AND THERE WOULD BE A POSIBILITY THAT EVEN THE ELECT COULD BE DECEIVED IF HE WAS HERE 3 1/2 YEARS.
AFTER THAT HE WILL SMASH THEIR HEADS, OR SCATTER IN A SMASHING WAY.
12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O MY Lord, what shall be the end of these things?'
12:9 And he said, 'Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
THE WORDS WERE SEALED FOR DANIEL; BUT UNSEALED FOR US.
12:10 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.
THE ONES THAT GOD'S ELECT TEACH IN THE MILLENNIUM WILL BE MADE PURE AND WHITE.
12:11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away (JESUS WAS CRUCIFIED IN 27 A.D.), and the abomination that maketh desolate (DESOLATOR IN THE HEB.=AN ENTITY=SATAN) set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12:12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand and three hundred and five and thirty days.
ISRAEL BECAME A NATION MAY 14, 1948. THIS IS THE LAST GENERATION.
12:13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.' "
THE HEBREW ACCENT SUGGESTS THE RENDERING: "BLESSED IS HE THAT EXPECTETH AND SHALL REACH (THE GOAL: HE SHALL REACH) TODAY, 1335."
DANIEL WILL BE WITH MICHAEL AND THE ANGELS AT THAT TIME.
GOD BLESS
THE TIMES, AND NUMBERED DAYS OF DANIEL (BY DR. BULLINGER).
There are five specific periods of "time" and "days" mentioned in the book of Daniel (7:25; 8:14; 12:7, 11, 12). In addition to these five, we have the great period of the "seventy sevens" (or weeks) of years in chapter nine.
Sixty-nine of these were completed at the "cutting off" of the Messiah; the last or "seventieth seven" is yet to come. All the other five periods of time in the book are to be referred to, and are standardized, so to speak, by this last "seven".
"The prince that shall come" (Satan=Antichrist) "will make a covenant with many for one week" (seven years, 9:27).
After 3 1/2 years, he breaks his covenant (or league, 11:23), the daily sacrifice is "taken away", the "abomination" set up, and "Jacob's trouble" (Jer. 30:7) commences and continues for the remainder of the "seven": viz. for the 1,260 days or 3 1/2 years.
In 8:14 it is stated, "then shall the Sanctuary be cleansed." When this will happen? "From the time (that) the daily (sacrifice) shall be taken away (there shall be a thousand, two hundred and ninety days." Daniel 12:11.
"Blessed is he that waiteth (=steadfast) and cometh to the thousand, three hundred and five and thirty days." Daniel 12:12.
The time of verses 11 & 12,are extended and prolonged beyond the close of 1,260 days by two significant periods of days, viz. 30 days and 75 days, respectively.
The first of these, 1,290 days is 1,260 + 30. And the 30 days here maybe taken as an intercalary month of 30 days of "cleansing" following directly after the destruction of the false Messiah, and the break up of his confederacy. These 30 days may possibly be the period allotted for the construction of the new and glorious "Sanctuary" of Ezekiel 40-43, which is to be erected after the destruction and removal of the Jewish temple (The Dome on the Rock).
With regard to the 1,335 days of 12:12: This is 1,260 days with an excess of 75 days. This again being an excess of 45 days beyond the 1.290 of 12:11. 1,335 is, therefore, 1,260 + 30 +45.
If the 30 days are occupied with the "cleansing", for example with the "justifying" a new and glorious "Sanctuary", then it maybe that the further 45 days, over and above the 1.290, will cover the preparation time for the fulfilment of the 45th psalm, in order that the nuptials of the king maybe celebrated as described in such wonderful and minute detail in that psalm.
The time of Daniel 12:1 is a time of trouble (Jacob's trouble), and it will be closed be a time or year of acutest tribulation.
NOTE: CHRIST HAS SHORTENED THE TIME TO FIVE MONTHS FOR THE ELECT'S SAKE (MARK 13:20, REV. 9:10-11).
GOD BLESS
