Daniel 12:1-13<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:1. <\/strong>At that time 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. And at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone one who is found written in the book.<\/span><\/p>\n Who is Michael?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Hebrew for Michael is Mika\u00b4el and means, who is like God.<\/span><\/p>\n Additional texts naming Michael are mentioned in the following:<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 10:13. But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me twenty-one days; and behold, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I had been left alone there with the kings of Persia. (Daniel here was in vision, and whilst in vision an angel came to him and explained what was taking place behind the political scenes during the time of Cyrus the king of Persian rulership. The angel was battling with the prince of Persia who is a fallen angel assuming power over the Persian kingdom. However, Michael (Jesu Christ), one of the chief princes in the heavenly kingdom came to help this angel talking to Daniel.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 10:20.21. Then he said, \u201cDo you know why I have come to you? And now I must return to fight with the prince of Persia; and when I have gone forth, indeed the prince of Greece will come. But I will tell you what is noted in the Scripture of Truth. (No one upholds me against these, except Michael your prince).\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n (It seems like this angel and Michael are fighting to establish the next rulership of the Babylonian empire after the Persian rulership, and that is the Grecian empire according to the image in Daniel 2:).<\/span><\/p>\n Jude 1:9. Yet Michael the archangel, in contending with the devil, when he disputed about the body of Moses, dared not bring against him a reviling accusation, but said, \u201cThe Lord rebuked you!\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n The text in Jude 1:9 says that Michael is the archangel. Who is this archangel? \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a01 Thessalonians 4:16. For the Lord himself will descend from heaven with a shout, with the voice of an archangel, and with the trumpet of God. And the dead in Christ will rise first.<\/span><\/p>\n (This verse tells us that the archangel is the Lord himself descending from heaven at the Second Coming of Christ and the resurrection of the saints. Matthew 24:30. Then the sign of the Son of Man will appear in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will mourn, and they will see the Son of Man coming on the clouds of heaven with power and great glory).<\/span><\/p>\n Revelation 12:7.8. And war broke out in heaven: Michael and his angels fought with the dragon, and the dragon and his angels fought, but they did not prevail, nor was a place found for them in heaven any longer. So the great dragon was cast out, that serpent of old, called the Devil and Satan, who deceives the whole world; he was cast out to the earth, and his angels were cast out with him.<\/span><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Michael in the Hebrew means, who is like God. There is only one person who fits this description and that is Jesus Christ. In the book of Daniel, Michael the chief prince is Jesus Christ who establishes all nations from the Medo-Persian empire to the Grecian empire as in Daniel 10:20.21. The only one who can contend with the devil about the dead body of Moses is Jesus Christ, because he has the keys of death. Rev 1:18. As regards to the archangel, Jesus Christ is the only leader and archangel of all the angels in heaven, and he is the only one who fits the description of the Lord at the Second Coming of Christ. \u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0\u00a01 Thessalonians 4:16. When there was war in heaven (Rev 12:7-9) there were only two groups: the devil and his angels, verses Michael and his angels. So, Michael is the archangel and the leader of the good angels in heaven, hence Michael is Jesus Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:1<\/strong>. \u201cAt that time.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n What time?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This time is referring to the time of the end as stated in Daniel 11:40, when the mysterious king named by personal pronouns in Daniel 11:14-45 referring to the papacy in the Roman Catholic church system. He will at the time of the end attack the king of the North and the king of the South, and all the Christian church denominations on the earth, plus all other religions and atheism. This time is referring to the last time of trouble before and after the time of the seven last plagues fall upon the earth. Rev 16:<\/span><\/p>\n Even though the papacy will be trying to establish their rulership over the earth, the text says, \u201cAnd at that time your people shall be delivered.\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Who are Daniel\u00b4s people?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n These are the sons of Daniel\u00b4s people, who are found written in the book. Which book?<\/span><\/p>\n Rev 3:5. He who overcomes shall be clothed in white garments, and I will not blot out his name from the Book of Life, but I will confess his name before my Father and before his angels.<\/span><\/p>\n Rev 13:8. All who dwell on the earth will worship him (the beast from the sea), whose names have not been written in the Book of Life of the Lamb slain from the foundation of the world.<\/span><\/p>\n Rev 20:15. And anyone not found written in the Book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.<\/span><\/p>\n Rev 22:19. And if anyone takes away from the words of the book of this prophecy, God shall take away his part from the Book of Life, from the holy city, and from the things which are written in this book.<\/span><\/p>\n Philippians 4:3. And I urge you also, true companion, help these women who laboured with me in the gospel, with Clement also, and the rest of my fellow workers, whose names are in the Book of Life.<\/span><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The book which our names are written on, refers to the Book of Life or eternal life. This book is related to him who overcomes; he who is clothed in white garments; he who does not worship the beast from the sea; and he who labours with Paul in preaching the gospel of Jesus Christ. He whose name is not written in the book of Life was cast into the lake of fire.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:1. <\/strong>Writes about a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation, even to that time.<\/span><\/p>\n When is this time of trouble?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n This time of trouble is not referring to the Dark Middle Ages when over 50 million Roman Catholic church members were persecuted and burnt at the stake, because they protested against the pope and believed in salvation through Christ in the Holy Bible.<\/span><\/p>\n This time of trouble is referring to the time of the end as stated in Daniel 11:40, when the mysterious king named by personal pronouns in Daniel 11:14-45 referring to the papacy in the Roman Catholic church system. He will at the time of the end attack the king of the North and the king of the South, and all the Christian church denominations on the earth, plus all other religions and atheism. This time is referring to the last time of trouble before and after the time of the seven last plagues fall upon the earth. Rev 16:<\/span><\/p>\n When this time of trouble occurs, Daniels people who believe in the Protestant Holy Bible, the Ten Commandments of God and the faith of Jesus Christ will be delivered. They have their names written in the Book of Life.\u00a0 Revelation 14:12. 12:17.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:2. <\/strong>And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, some to shame and everlasting contempt.<\/span><\/p>\n There are two major resurrections at the Coming of Christ and thereafter. John 5:28.29. Do not marvel at this; for the hour is coming in which all who are in the graves will hear his voice and come fourth \u2013 those who have done good, to the resurrection of life, and those who have done evil, to the resurrection of condemnation.<\/span><\/p>\n Therefore, those who take part in the first resurrection to everlasting life are all believers in God and Jesus Christ. Those who take part in the second resurrection to shame and everlasting contempt are all non-believers in God.<\/span><\/p>\n Dan 12:3.<\/strong> 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.<\/span><\/p>\n How do you get wisdom to be wise and what is wisdom?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Oxford Dictionary says wisdom is being wise; soundness of judgment in matters to life and conduct; knowledge, enlightenment, learning e.g. The wisdom of Solomon.[i]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Proverbs 2:6. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding.<\/span><\/p>\n James 1:5. If any lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given him.<\/span><\/p>\n When we turn many to righteousness, that is when we witness for the gospel of Jesus Christ through preaching, teaching and literature evangelism, then many will come to a knowledge of the truth. Matthew 28:19.20. Go therefore and make disciples of all nations, baptizing them in the name of the Father and the Son and the Holy Spirit, teaching them to observe all things that I have commanded you. This command refers to all believers in Christ and not just to a select few.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:4. <\/strong>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.<\/span><\/p>\n Seal the book refers to the prophecies in the book of Daniel. The narratives are easily understood, and one can gain wisdom and understanding from them, but the prophecies are hard to understand, especially for Daniel.<\/span><\/p>\n The prophecies in the book of Daniel were sealed until the time of the end. When was this time of the end? This study was done on my website www.ayindk.com\/Daniel<\/a> 11:35-39. When is the time of the end? In short, `the time of the end` refers to the period between 1798 and the Second Coming of Christ.<\/span><\/p>\n Dan 12:4. Knowledge shall increase.<\/span><\/p>\n Does this mean the prophecies in the book of Daniel, or the technical knowledge in the world today?<\/span><\/p>\n A word study from the Bible to understand knowledge.<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Genesis 2:9. The tree of knowledge of good and evil.<\/span><\/p>\n Job 15:2. Should a wise man utter vain knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n Psalm 119:66. Teach me good judgment and knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n Psalm 139:6. (Such) knowledge is too wonderful for me. (God\u00b4s knowledge of man).<\/span><\/p>\n Proverbs 1:7. The fear of the Lord is the beginning of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n Proverbs 8:10. Knowledge rather than choice gold.<\/span><\/p>\n Proverbs 8:12. Find knowledge of witty inventions.<\/span><\/p>\n Proverbs 14:18. The prudent are crowned with knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n Ecclesiastes 1:18. He who increases knowledge increases sorrow.<\/span><\/p>\n Jeremiah 10:14. Every man is brutish in his knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 1:4. Young men in whom there was no blemish, but good looking, gifted in all wisdom, possessing knowledge and quick to understanding, who had the ability to serve in the king\u2019s palace, and whom they might teach the language and literature of the Chaldeans.<\/span><\/p>\n Hosea 4:6. My people are destroyed for lack of knowledge.<\/span><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n Knowledge refers to Biblical knowledge of God, the scriptures and worldly knowledge e.g. Daniel and his friends in Babylon.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:5.6. <\/strong>Then I, Daniel looked and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, \u201cHow long shall the fulfilment of these wonders be?\u201d<\/span><\/p>\n Which riverbank and which vision revealing these wonders?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n It seems like the only riverbank which is related to the vision in Daniel is in Dan 10:4. Now on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of the great river, that is, the Tigris. Dan 10:7. And I Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision. (This vision Daniel saw refers to Dan 7: 8: 9:). Dan 10:14. Now I have come to make you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision refers to many days yet to come.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:7. <\/strong>Then I heard the man clothed in linen who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.<\/span><\/p>\n What does the time, times and half a time mean?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n If you go to my website www.ayindk.com\/Revelation 12:6<\/a> it will give you a full explanation.<\/span><\/p>\n In short it refers to the time during the Dark Middle Ages between 538-1798. The time, times and half a time would cover much of Daniel 11:14-45, which is referring to the last vision he received from God.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:8.9. <\/strong>Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, \u201cMy Lord, what shall be the end of these things?\u201d And he said, \u201cGo your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.<\/span><\/p>\n This citation `time of the end` is also mentioned in Dan 12:4. 11:40. 8:17. The `time of the end` refers to the time from 1798 to the Second Coming of Christ. So the words of the prophecy in Daniel\u00b4s vision were closed and sealed to the beginning of 1798. For a fuller explanation of the citation `time of the end, ` see my website www.ayindk.com\/Daniel 11:35<\/a>.<\/span><\/p>\n What happened after 1798?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n \u201cAt the end of the 18th<\/sup> and beginning of the 19th<\/sup> century a new interest in the prophecies of Daniel and the Revelation was awakened in widely separated places of the earth. The study of these prophecies led to a widespread belief that the second advent of Christ was near. Numerous expositors in England, Joseph Wolf in the Middle East, Manual Lacunza in South America, and William Miller in the United States, together with the host of other students of the prophecies, declared, on the basis of their study of the prophecies of Daniel that the second advent was at hand. Today, this conviction has become the driving force of the worldwide movement.\u201d[ii]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:10. <\/strong>Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.<\/span><\/p>\n How are we made white?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n 2 Timothy 3:16. All scripture is given by inspiration of God. (We must believe in the holy scriptures of the Bible).<\/span><\/p>\n John 3:16. God so loved the world that he gave his only Son that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have everlasting life. (We should believe in Jesus Christ as our personal saviour).<\/span><\/p>\n Romans 3:23. All have sinned and fall short of the glory of God. (Admit that we are sinners).<\/span><\/p>\n Acts 2:38. The Peter said to them, \u201cRepent.\u201d (We should repent of all our sins).<\/span><\/p>\n 1 John 1:9. If we confess our sins, he is faithful to forgive of our sins and cleanse us from all unrighteousness. (We have to confess our sins to God).<\/span><\/p>\n John 3:5. Jesus answered, \u201cMost assuredly, I say to you, unless one is born of water and the Spirit, he cannot enter the kingdom of God. We must be born again).<\/span><\/p>\n Ephesians 4:22.23. That you put off concerning your former conduct, the old man which grows corrupt according not the deceitful lusts and be renewed in the spirit of your mind.<\/span><\/p>\n Isaiah 1:18. Though your sins be as scarlet blood red, they shall be as white as snow.<\/span><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We are made white by reading in the holy scriptures which tells us to believe in Jesus Christ as our only personal saviour, repent of our sins and be born again into a new man.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:10. B<\/strong>ut the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThe wicked have chosen Satan as their leader. Under his control, the wonderful faculties of the mind are used to construct agencies of destruction. God has given the human mind great power, power to show that the Creator has endowed man with ability to do great work against the enemy of all righteousness, power to show victories may be gained in the conflict against evil.<\/span><\/p>\n But when those to whom God has entrusted capabilities give themselves into the hands of the enemy, they become a power to destroy. When men do not make God first and last and best in everything, when they do not give themselves to Him for the carrying out of His purposes, Satan comes in, and uses in his service the minds that, given to God, could achieve great good.\u201d[iii]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:10. <\/strong>But the wise shall understand.<\/span><\/p>\n How do we become wise?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The Oxford Dictionary says wisdom is being wise; soundness of judgment in matters to life and conduct; knowledge, enlightenment, learning e.g. The wisdom of Solomon.[iv]<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n James 1:5. If any lacks wisdom, let him ask of God, who gives to all liberally and without reproach, and it will be given him.<\/span><\/p>\n Proverbs 2:1-6. My son, if you receive my words, and treasure my commands within you, so that you incline your ear to wisdom, and apply your heart to understanding; yes, if you cry out for discernment, and lift up your voice for understanding. If you seek heart as silver, and search for her hidden treasures; then you will understand the fear of the Lord and find the knowledge of God. For the Lord gives wisdom; from his mouth comes knowledge and understanding. (Wisdom comes from the words of the scriptures and from the Ten Commandments of God).<\/span><\/p>\n 1 Corinthians 1:22-24. For the Jews request a sign; and the Greeks seek wisdom; but we preach Christ crucified, to the Jews a stumbling block and to the Greeks foolishness, but to those who are called, both Jews and Greeks, Christ the power of God and the wisdom of God. (Christ is the wisdom of God).<\/span><\/p>\n 1 Corinthians 1:30. But of him you are in Christ Jesus, who became for us wisdom from God \u2013 and righteousness and sanctification and redemption.<\/span><\/p>\n Conclusion<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n We become wise by asking God for wisdom. By Believing God\u00b4s word in the Bible and the Ten Commandments. By applying our hearts to understanding and discernment and to the knowledge of God. Christ is the wisdom of God and in Christ we have wisdom, righteousness, and sanctification, and redemption.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:10. B<\/strong>ut the wise shall understand refers to the people that are called by God to his kingdom and seek to understand the prophesies of Daniel especially towards the end of time.<\/span><\/p>\n Daniel 12:11.12. <\/strong>And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is he who waits and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty days.<\/span><\/p>\n The most important word in this text is the word daily which is tamid in Hebrew. There are many translations for this word from many different Bibles. But what does this word mean?<\/span><\/p>\n For a full explanation of the word tamid look at my website www.ayindk.com\/Daniel 11:31<\/a> and www.ayindk.com\/Daniel<\/a> 8:13.14.<\/span><\/p>\n In short tamid is related to the daily administration in the earthly sanctuary or tabernacle of the priesthood. After the crucifixion of Christ, the administration of the earthly sanctuary was transferred to the heavenly sanctuary where Christ is our High Priest.<\/span><\/p>\n What does the abomination of desolation mean?<\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n The abomination of desolation is the manmade earthly substitute of the priestly administration of the heavenly sanctuary by the papacy in the Roman Catholic church system all around the world. For example, when one sins in the Roman Catholic Church system the people come to their priest to ask for forgiveness of sins, instead of coming to Christ in the heavenly sanctuary for forgiveness of sins.<\/span><\/p>\n \u201cThus, the setting up of the abomination of desolation of Daniel 12:11 can be seen as the union of church and state and what the church set out to accomplish through the power of the state. This had the effect of eclipsing the true ministry of Christ as our High Priest in the heavenly sanctuary (Daniel 11:31. 8:11-13).\n
