Daniel 12:5 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 12:5

Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two
Other two angels, besides the man clothed with linen, ( Daniel 12:6 ) or rather besides the angel who had given Daniel the long account of things that were to come to pass, in the preceding chapter, and the beginning of this; whom Daniel, being attentive to that account, had not observed before; but now, that being finished, he looks about him, and takes notice of those other two who were standing, being ministering spirits to Christ, and ready to execute his orders: the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that
side of the bank of the river;
Hiddekel or Tigris, as appears from ( Daniel 10:4 ) . The reason of this position was chiefly on account of Christ, the man clothed with linen, who stood upon or above the water of the river, in the midst of it; and to show that they were waiting upon him, and ready to go every way he should send them to do his will; and also on account of Daniel, that he might hear what was said, whether to Christ, or to one another; since, being at such a distance, their voice must be loud; and indeed the design of all that follows to the end of the chapter is to inform him, and by him the church and people of God in all future ages, of the time and end of all these things before delivered in the prophecy.

Daniel 12:5 In-Context

3 Los sabios resplandecerán tan brillantes como el cielo y quienes conducen a muchos a la justicia brillarán como estrellas para siempre.

4 Pero tú, Daniel, mantén en secreto esta profecía; sella el libro hasta el tiempo del fin, cuando muchos correrán de aquí para allá y el conocimiento aumentará.

5 Entonces yo, Daniel, vi a otros dos que estaban de pie en lados opuestos del río.

6 Uno de ellos le preguntó al hombre vestido de lino, que estaba de pie sobre el río:
—¿Cuánto tiempo pasará hasta que terminen estos espantosos sucesos?

7 El hombre vestido de lino —que estaba de pie sobre el río— levantó ambas manos hacia el cielo e hizo un juramento solemne por aquel que vive para siempre diciendo:
—Durará por un tiempo, tiempos y medio tiempo. Cuando finalmente termine el quebrantamiento del pueblo santo, todas estas cosas habrán sucedido.
