Daniel 12:4

Daniel 12:4

(The Message)

“‘This is a confidential report, Daniel, for your eyes and ears only. Keep it secret. Put the book under lock and key until the end. In the interim there is going to be a lot of frantic running around, trying to figure out what's going on.’

(KJV)

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, and knowledge shall be increased.

KJV Commentary

Daniel was then told to protect the message received so that it could be read in later times. The time of the end is aptly described as a day when knowledge shall be increased, namely our modern computer era.

Scofield Notes

end
The "time of the end" in Daniel. The expression, or its equivalent, "in the end," occurs, Daniel 8:17-19; 9:26; 11:35,40,45; 12:4,6,9.

Summary:

(1) The time of the end in Daniel begins with the violation by "the prince that shall come" (i.e. "little horn," "man of sin," "Beast") of his covenant with the Jews for the restoration of the temple and sacrifice Daniel 9:27 and his presentation of himself as God ; Daniel 9:27; 11:36-38; Matthew 24:15; 2 Thessalonians 2:4; Revelation 13:4-6 and ends with his destruction by the appearing of the Lord in glory. ; 2 Thessalonians 2:8; Revelation 19:19,20.

(2) The duration of the "time of the end" is three and one half years, coinciding with the last half of the seventieth week of Daniel. Daniel 7:25; 12:7; Revelation 13:5.

(3) This "time of the end" is the "time of Jacob's trouble." Jeremiah 30:7 "a time of trouble such as never was since there was a nation" Daniel 12:1 "great tribulation such as was not from the beginning of the world. . . nor ever shall be" Matthew 24:21. The N.T., especially the Book of the Revelation, adds many details.

well.

Good point. I suspect with all those messages we find in the bible with computers by row and count sequences, is the very thing God had Danial seal up until the end. It is pretty amazing when you study the subject of the Bible code.

There is not doubt that it may be possible we are the generation that will see these things happen.

Jesus Is Lord.

The what i got from Dan 12:4 is that there will be many theories of what it means, that's why i did not think about computer sciense and other as the meaning of "knowledge shall be increased."
