Daniel 12:8-13

8 Y yo oí, mas no entendí. Y dije: Señor mío, ¿qué es el cumplimiento de estas cosas

9 Y dijo: Anda, Daniel, que estas palabras serán cerradas y selladas hasta el tiempo del cumplimiento

10 Muchos serán limpios, y emblanquecidos, y purgados. Y los impíos se empeorarán, y ninguno de los impíos entenderá, pero entenderán los entendidos

11 Y desde el tiempo que fuere quitado el continuo sacrificio hasta la abominación de asolamiento, habrá mil doscientos noventa días

12 Bienaventurado el que esperare, y llegare hasta mil trescientos treinta y cinco días

13 Y tú irás al fin, y reposarás, y te levantarás en tu suerte (o en tu herencia) al fin de los días

Daniel 12:8-13 Meaning and Commentary

INTRODUCTION TO DANIEL 12

This chapter begins with an account of a time of exceeding great trouble to the people of God, who are comforted with the consideration of Michael the great Prince being on their side, and with a promise of deliverance, with the resurrection of the dead, and the glorious state of wise and good men upon that, Da 12:1-3, and Daniel is ordered to shut up and seal the book of the prophecy, until a time when it should be better understood, Da 12:4, next follows a question put by an angel to Christ, and his answer to it, with respect to the time of the fulfilment of those wonderful events, Da 12:5-7. Daniel, not understanding what he heard, asks what would be the end of those things, Da 12:8 in answer to which he is bid to be content with what he knew; no alteration would be among men; things would be neither better nor worse with them, Da 12:9,10, a time is fixed for the accomplishment of all, Da 12:11,12, and it is promised him that he should have rest after death, and rise again, and have his lot and share with the blessed, Da 12:13.
