Daniel 12:8 Meaning and Commentary

Daniel 12:8

And I heard, but understood not
Daniel heard what Christ said, in answer to the angel, but he did not understand the meaning of it, which he ingenuously confesses; he did not understand what was meant by "time", and "times", and "half a time"; what kind of time this was, and when and how it would end, and which he was very desirous of knowing: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
he applied not to the angel that put the above question, but to the man clothed with linen; to Christ, whom he perceived to be a divine Person, a Person of dominion, power, and authority, superior to angels, and his Lord and God; and who only could resolve the question he puts, which is somewhat different from that of the angel's, ( Daniel 12:6 ) , that respects the length of time, to the accomplishment of these things; this the quality at the end of them, what kind of end they should have; or what the signs, symptoms, and evidences of the end of them, by which the true end of them might be known. Mr. Mede renders it, "what are these latter times?" perhaps it might be rendered better, "what is the last of these things?" ^F15 what is the last thing that will be done, that so it may be known when all is over?

Daniel 12:8 In-Context

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”.

8 Eu ouvi, mas não compreendi. Por isso perguntei: “Meu senhor, qual será o resultado disso tudo?”

9 Ele respondeu: “Siga o seu caminho, Daniel, pois as palavras estão seladas e lacradas até o tempo do fim.

10 Muitos serão purificados, alvejados e refinados, mas os ímpios continuarão ímpios. Nenhum dos ímpios levará isto em consideração, mas os sábios sim.
