kjv@Daniel:12:1@ And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
kjv@Daniel:12:2@ And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
kjv@Daniel:12:3@ And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
kjv@Daniel:12:4@ But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
kjv@Daniel:12:5@ Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
kjv@Daniel:12:6@ And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
kjv@Daniel:12:7@ And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
kjv@Daniel:12:8@ And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
kjv@Daniel:12:9@ And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
kjv@Daniel:12:10@ Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
kjv@Daniel:12:11@ And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
kjv@Daniel:12:12@ Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
kjv@Daniel:12:13@ But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
I feel presently that I am not equipped to explain this kjv@Daniel:10-12 passage. There are a great many scholars that have looked into this much more deeply who disagree one to another. I started to add further reading resources as starting points, but, don't want to outright endorse any of these particular views. Like with much of bible prophecy, I believe that every single word is true and that when it is all fulfilled we will everyone say 'boy Daniel sure nailed that'. Until it is all fulfilled however, I marvel at the detail, I marvel at how it could explain this and that, I marvel at the angels and the means of communication they use. I seek to understand these things and I dig deeper and deeper into them.
I know many people that have had much opportunity for productive spiritual fruit fall from the limb because of their insistence in figuring all of these prophetic clues together. It almost becomes a destructive addiction. If our commandment is to love one another as God loves us, certainly there must be a balance between the mental pursuit of knowing and the spiritual pursuit of simply acting based upon trust. Knowing how to comfort a friend is just as important as knowing 3 1/2 years for this and this king was... Some times sealed means sealed. Not to diminish the importance of prophecy mind you, but, to elevate the importance of being amongst the living and being fruitful in the knowledge of Christ.
