ダニエル書 12:4-8 JCB

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:4-13

Precept and promise. "But go thou thy way," etc. ( Daniel 12:13 ). From Daniel 12:4 to the end we have the epilogue to the last vision of the book. In the epilogue are many interesting matters, which will no doubt be developed in the Exposition. We here lay hold of the closing words of all, suggest them for homiletical treatment, and indicate their meaning. No more than this. I. A PRECEPT . "Go thou thy way till the end be." Here the old man of near ninety years is bidden to... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 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. The versions do not require remark, save that the Septuagint and the Peshitta do not repeat "river." The abrupt introduction of "two other' is another proof that the long eleventh chapter, as we have it now, is an interpolation. We must go back to Daniel 10:18 to get the person from whom these two mentioned are distinguished. The two... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:5-13

Certainty among many uncertainties. Among many shifting factors in the great problem of human life, one factor at least is fixed, viz. that the interests of the righteous are secure. Their fate is linked to God's. All events shall have but one effect on them. This is the granite rock that retains its stable glory amid the restless, seething sea. I. IT IS A CONSOLATION TO KNOW THAT THE ANGELIC RACES ARE INTERESTED IN HUMAN WELFARE . As Daniel looked with a more... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 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? The Septuagint renderingis, "And I said"—reading אמר instead of יאמר —"to one clothed in fair linen ( βύσσινα ), which is above the water of the river"—the last five words being omitted from the Syriac of Paulus Tellensis—"When, then, shall the end be of these marvels which thou hast told me, and their purification?" The last clause, which does not... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - 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. The Septuagint essentially agrees with this. It omits "man" in the first clause; has "water" instead of "waters;" adds "God" as explanatory of "him that... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:8

And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? The Septuagint rendering differs in a somewhat singular way from the above, "And I heard and understood not, especially about this time; and I said, Lord, what is the solution of this word, and what are those parables?" These variations seem due to glosses and paraphrase. Theodotion is in complete agreement with the Massoretic text. The Peshitta differs only by inserting "Daniel." The Vulgate... read more

The Pulpit Commentary - Daniel 12:8

The end. I. ALL EARTHLY THINGS HAVE AN END . This world is marked by change, All things are temporary and transient. But the order of change itself will change. The whole present system of life will pass away. Life is a process, a preparation, a series of changing events which is to end and give place to an entirely different order. 1 . Pleasure will end; therefore live for higher interests. 2 . Sorrow will end; therefore be patient and hopeful. 3 . Temptation ... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:4

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words - To wit, by sealing them up, or by closing the book, and writing no more in it. The meaning is, that all has been communicated which it was intended to communicate. The angel had no more to say, and the volume might be sealed up.And seal the book - This would seem to have been not an unusual custom in closing a prophecy, either by affixing a seal to it that should be designed to confirm it as the prophet’s work - as we seal a deed, a will, or a contract;... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:5

Then I Daniel looked - My attention was attracted in a new direction. Hitherto, it would seem, it had been fixed on the angel, and on what he was saying. The angel now informed him that he had closed his communication, and Daniel was now attracted by a new heavenly vision.And, behold, there stood other two - Two other angels. The connection requires us to understand this of angels, though they are not expressly called so.The one on this side of the bank of the river - Margin, as in Hebrew,... read more

Albert Barnes' Notes on the Whole Bible - Daniel 12:6

And one said - One of these angels. It would seem that, though before unseen by Daniel, they had been present, and had listened with deep interest to the communication respecting the future which the angel had made to him. Feeling a deep concern in the issue of these wonderful events - thus evincing the interest which we are taught to believe the heavenly beings take in human affairs (see the notes at 1 Peter 1:12) - one of them now addressed him who had been endowed with so much ability to... read more
