DANIEL 12: 9

BIBLE COMMENTARY

DANIEL 12: 9 – He replied: Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed UNTIL THE TIME OF THE END.

– God had revealed the mystery of the end time to Daniel, but He did not explain further for him to understand.

– He sealed it up to make sure that none others to understand it, too.

– Daniel surely had question of God’s motive, but God told him to go his way, meaning do not bother to raise that question because God would not answer it.

(more in DANIEL 12: 4)

– From the time of Daniel until Jesus was born in Bethlehem, only a few people was saved for eternal life.

– It happened because only when a person understands God’s will then he/she may be able to live a life that pleases God and get the reward of eternal life.

EPHESIANS 1: 7-10 – 7 In Him we have redemption through His blood, the forgiveness of sins, in accordance with the riches of God’s grace 8 that He lavished on us. With all wisdom and understanding, 9 HE MADE KNOWN TO US THE MYSTERY OF HIS WILL according to His good pleasure, which He purposed in Christ, 10 to be put into effect when the times reach their fulfillment, to bring unity to all things in heaven and on earth under Christ.

COLOSSIANS 1: 9-12 – 9 For this reason, since the day we heard about you, we have not stopped praying for you. We continually ask God to fill you with the knowledge of HIS WILL through all the wisdom and understanding that the Spirit gives, 10 SO THAT YOU MAY LIVE A LIFE WORTHY OF THE LORD AND PLEASE HIM IN EVERY WAY: bearing fruit in every good work, growing in the knowledge of God, 11 being strengthened with all power according to His glorious might so that you may have great endurance and patience, 12 and giving joyful thanks to the Father, Who has qualified you to share in the inheritance of His holy people IN THE KINGDOM OF LIFE.
