Daniel 12:4 - John Wesley's Notes

Daniel 12:4

2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
^aSome to everlasting life,
Some to shame ^band everlasting contempt.

3 Those who are wise shall ^ashine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
^bAnd those who turn many to righteousness
^cLike the stars forever and ever.

4 “But you, Daniel, ^ashut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall ^brun to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that ^ariverbank.

6 And one said to the man clothed in ^alinen, who was above the waters of the river, ^b“How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he ^aheld up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him ^bwho lives forever, ^cthat it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; ^dand when the power of ^ethe holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
