5 Y yo, Daniel, miré, y he aquí otros dos que estaban, el uno de esta parte á la orilla del río, y el otro de la otra parte á la orilla del río.

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 Y los entendidos resplandecerán como el resplandor del firmamento; y los que enseñan á justicia la multitud, como las estrellas á perpetua eternidad.

4 Tú empero Daniel, cierra las palabras y sella el libro hasta el tiempo del fin: pasarán muchos, y multiplicaráse la ciencia.

5 Y yo, Daniel, miré, y he aquí otros dos que estaban, el uno de esta parte á la orilla del río, y el otro de la otra parte á la orilla del río.

6 Y dijo uno al varón vestido de lienzos, que estaba sobre las aguas del río: ¿Cuándo será el fin de estas maravillas?

7 Y oía al varón vestido de lienzos, que estaba sobre las aguas del río, el cual alzó su diestra y su siniestra al cielo, y juró por el Viviente en los siglos, que será por tiempo, tiempos, y la mitad. Y cuando se acabare el esparcimiento del escuadrón del pueblo santo, todas estas cosas serán cumplidas.
