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 Aqueles que são sábios reluzirão como o fulgor do céu, e aqueles que conduzem muitos à justiça serão como as estrelas, para todo o sempre.

4 Mas você, Daniel, feche com um selo as palavras do livro até o tempo do fim. Muitos irão por todo lado em busca de maior conhecimento”.

5 Então eu, Daniel, olhei, e diante de mim estavam dois outros anjos, um na margem de cá do rio e outro na margem de lá.

6 Um deles disse ao homem vestido de linho, que estava acima das águas do rio: “Quanto tempo decorrerá antes que se cumpram essas coisas extraordinárias?”

7 O homem vestido de linho, que estava acima das águas do rio, ergueu para o céu a mão direita e a mão esquerda, e eu o ouvi jurar por aquele que vive para sempre, dizendo: “Haverá um tempo, tempos e meio tempo. Quando o poder do povo santo for finalmente quebrado, todas essas coisas se cumprirão”.
