Sealed until the time of the end
This is about a word revealed to Daniel in last few Chapter 10-12. In the third year of King Cyrus of Persia, he saw a vision. Daniel 10:5,6 says “…a man clothed in linen, with a belt of fine gold from Uphaz around his waist. 6 His body was like beryl, his face like the appearance of lightning, his eyes like flaming torches, his arms and legs like the gleam of burnished bronze, and the sound of his words like the sound of a multitude.”.
Maybe this “man” is Jesus same as Rev.1:14-17 says
“14 His head and his hair were white as white wool, white as snow; his eyes were like a flame of fire, 15 his feet were like burnished bronze, refined as in a furnace, and his voice was like the sound of many waters. 16 In his right hand he held seven stars, and from his mouth came a sharp, two-edged sword, and his face was like the sun shining with full force.17 When I saw him, I fell at his feet as though dead. But he placed his right hand on me, saying, ‘Do not be afraid; I am the first and the last.”
Same as Apostle John, “as I(Daniel) heard the sound of his words, I fell on my face in deep sleep with my face to the ground”. This vision is : “14 …to make you understand what is to happen to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for days yet to come.”. So this vision is for the end time.
We know that this vision is not only related to visible things(empires) but also related to invisible things(Spirits conflicts). Daniel 10:20,21 says, “20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the prince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of Greece will come. 21 But I will tell you what is inscribed in the book of truth: there is none who contends by my side against these except Michael, your prince.”
Daniel chapter 11 says, “And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him. 2 “And now I will show you the truth. Behold, three more kings shall arise in Persia, and a fourth shall be far richer than all of them. And when he has become strong through his riches, he shall stir up all against the kingdom of Greece. 3 Then a mighty king(‘Alexander the Great’) shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and do as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, his kingdom(‘Alexander the Great’) shall be broken and divided toward the four winds(‘his four Generals’) of heaven, but not to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.”
5 “Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he and shall rule, and his authority shall be a great authority…attacking the king of the north. 9 Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south…11 Then the king of the south, moved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north…
15 When the king of the north(Roman Empire) comes, he shall set up siegeworks and take the fortified city(“Jerusalem City”) by storm. The forces of the south shall not withstand him, and not even his picked troops shall have the strength to withstand. 16 The invader shall do as he wills, with no one to withstand him. He shall stop in the glorious land(“Jerusalem City”), and it shall all be in his power.
17 He shall resolve to come with the entire strength of his kingdom. He(“Caesar”) shall make an alliance with him and give him a daughter(“Cleopatra VII Philopator”) in marriage in order to destroy him, but this shall not stand. 18 He shall turn to the coastland and take many prisoners, but a commander(“Gnaeus Pompey”) shall put an end to his shameful conduct, so that he cannot retaliate. 19 He shall turn to the strongholds of his own land, but shall stumble and fall, to be found no more.
20 “Then shall arise in his place one(“Antonius”) who shall send an exactor of tribute for the glory of the kingdom. But within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle. 21 In his place shall arise a contemptible person(“Tiberius”) to whom royal majesty has not been given. He shall come in without warning and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 22 Armies shall be utterly swept away before him and broken, even the prince of the covenant(Jesus died in the reign of Tiberius in AD 33).
23 And from the time that an alliance is made with him he shall act deceitfully, and he shall become strong with a small people. 24 Without warning he shall come into the richest parts of the province, and he shall do what neither his fathers nor his fathers’ fathers have done(Jesus died in the reign of Tiberius in AD 33), scattering among them plunder, spoil, and goods. He shall devise plans against strongholds, but only for a time. 25 And he shall stir up his power and his heart against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south shall wage war with an exceedingly great and mighty army, but he shall not stand, for plots shall be devised against him. 26 Even those who eat his food shall break him. His army shall be swept away, and many shall fall down slain.
27 And as for the two kings, their hearts shall be bent on doing evil. They shall speak lies at the same table, but to no avail, for the end is yet to be at the time appointed. 28 And he shall return to his land with great wealth, but his heart shall be set against the holy covenant(God’s Heavenly Kingdom Covenant). And he shall work his will and return to his own land.
29 “At the time appointed he(Roman) shall return and come into the south, but it shall not be this time as it was before. 30 For ships of Kittim shall come against him, and he shall be afraid and withdraw, and shall turn back and be enraged and take action against the holy covenant(God’s Heavenly Kingdom Covenant). He shall turn back and pay attention to those who forsake the holy covenant. 31 Forces from him shall appear and profane the temple and fortress(Sanctuary), and shall take away the regular burnt offering(Jerusalem destroyed in AD70). And they shall set up the abomination(Roman army) that makes desolate. 32 He shall seduce with flattery those who violate the covenant, but the people who know their God shall stand firm and take action. 33 And the wise among the people shall make many understand, though for some days they shall stumble by sword and flame, by captivity and plunder.(The Christians were persecuted by Roman using sword and flame, by captivity and plunder in 1st and 2nd century) 34 When they stumble, they shall receive a little help. And many shall join themselves to them with flattery, 35 and some of the wise shall stumble, so that they may be refined, purified, and made white, until the time of the end, for it still awaits the appointed time.
So from the verse 35 (around AD 70) there will be a long time last to the time of the end.
Then at the end time, “36 “And the king(North King-USA) shall do as he wills. He shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, and shall speak astonishing things against the God of gods. He shall prosper till the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for he shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses(arms) instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor with gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts(invest a lot of money in the manufacture of armaments). 39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses(holy people) with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and shall divide the land for a price.
40 “At the time of the end, the king of the south(Russia or China) shall attack him, but the king of the north(US America and NATO) shall rush upon him like a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships(aircraft carrier). And he shall come into countries and shall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into the glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the main part of the Ammonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt(Controlling the global financial system, including King of the South), and the Libyans and the Cushites shall follow in his train.
44 But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents(will be appear, maybe US embassy) between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.”
Same as Daniel 7 :11,13,14 says, “11 I looked then because of the sound of the great words that the horn was speaking. And as I looked, the beast was killed, and its body destroyed and given over to be burned with fire.13 I saw in the night visions, and behold, with the clouds of heaven there came one like a son of man, and he came to the Ancient of Days and was presented before him.14 And to him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom one that shall not be destroyed.”
Yes, the end time will arrive at that time. Daniel 12:1-4 says, “At that time shall arise Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And there shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake(resurrect), some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, shut up(keep secret) the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6 And someone said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, “How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?” 7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished.
Now we know that(Please read “Seventy Sevens” article) from AD 70 Jerusalem destroyed to the end time will have “a time, times, and half a time” period. This period is about the holy people(144000) being sealed. When the last one has been sealed, the power of the holy people will be shattered and all these things would be finished.
8 I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, “O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand.
11 And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 But go your way till the end. And you shall rest(die), and shall stand(resurrect) in your allotted place at the end of the days.”
What does it mean of 1290 days and 1335 days? We know that from AD 70 there will be “a time, times, and half a time” and this period same as 1260 days(means a period). There is a “30 days” period from 1260 days to 1290 days. Revelation 7:3,4,9,14 says, “Do not harm the earth or the sea or the trees, until we have sealed the servants of our God on their foreheads.” 4 And I heard the number of the sealed, 144,000…9 After this I looked, and behold, a great multitude that no one could number, from every nation, from all tribes and peoples and languages…14 …These are the ones coming out of the great tribulation”. So after all holy people(144000) sealed, the end time(the great tribulation) will come and bring by Michael the great prince. So there shall be a unsurpassed in distress time in this “30 days” period, ” a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time”. So “30 days”(the great tribulation) this period will be a very difficult, hard and trouble period.
After the difficult time of “30 days” period, it is the “45 days” period from 1290 days to 1335 days. In this period, maybe “at that time your people(whose name found in the book) shall be delivered”. So the “45 days” this period is a grace and salvation period.
After the “45 days” period, that means after 1335 days, “many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake(resurrect), some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt”. Why we can say that? Because Angel told Daniel that he wait after 1335 days, there will be the resurrection for all died including Daniel. “12 Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 But go your way till the end. And you(Daniel) shall rest(die), and shall stand(resurrect) in your allotted place at the end of the days(at the end of 1335 days).”
“And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever”. May we all ask Father and Jesus Christ give us wisdom and help others turn to righteousness, help sinners to repent. may we all give the Glory, Praise, Power, Thankful, Honor to God Father and Jesus. Amen.
