Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:7
Which was upon the waters - By this description, he was standing on the water. This is very similar to the description of the angel, Revelation 10:5 , Revelation 10:6 , and in the seventh verse there seems to be a reference to this prophecy "a time, times, and a half." See the note on Daniel 7:25 ; (note). read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:8
I heard, but I understand not - Could not comprehend what the time, times, and half time should refer to. These make three years and a half of prophetic times answering to one thousand two hundred and sixty years. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:9
The words are closed up - The prophecy shall not be understood, but in its accomplishment; and then the depth of the wisdom and providence of God will be clearly seen in these matters. See on Daniel 4 (note). We must wait "till the time of the end;" and this, it appears from the following calculations, will not arrive before the Twentieth Century. We here see the reason why these prophecies are at present so imperfectly understood. God has sealed them. read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:10
Many shall be purified - During the interim, the great work of God's providence and grace shall be carried on in the salvation of men; who, in the midst of trials, temptations, and difficulties, shall be purified and made white - be fully saved from their sins. None of the wicked shall understand - Because they are wicked, and will continue in their sins, the eyes of their understanding shall be closed, and their hearts hardened; so that they shall not see the light of the glorious... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:11
From the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away - See the notes on Daniel 11:25-27 ; (note). The abomination that maketh desolate set up - I believe, with Bp. Newton, that this is a proverbial phrase; and may be applied to any thing substituted in the place of, or set up in opposition to, the ordinances of God, his worship, his truth, etc. Adrian's temple, built in the place of God's temple at Jerusalem, the church of St. Sophia turned into a Mohammedan mosque, etc., etc.,... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:12
Blessed is he that waiteth - He who implicitly depends on God, expecting, as his truth cannot fail, that these predictions shall be accomplished in due time. And cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days - This is seventy-five days more than what is included in the three years and a half, or the time, times, and a half in the seventh verse; and as we have met with so many instances of prophets days and years, this undoubtedly is another instance; and as a day stands... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:13
But go thou thy way till the end be - Here is proper advice for every man. Thou hast a way - a walk in life, which God has assigned thee; walk in that way, it is thy way. There will be an end to thee of all earthly things. Death is at the door, and eternity is at hand; go on to the end - be faithful unto death. There is a rest provided for the people of God. Thou shalt rest; thy body, in the grave; thy soul, in the Divine favor here, and finally in paradise. As in the promised land... read more

John Calvin's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:5
Verse 5 Daniel here relates his vision of other angels standing on each bank of the river. He alludes to the Tigris which he had previously mentioned, as the vision was offered to him there. He says, One asked the other, How long will it be to the end? He who was asked, swore, with hands upraised to heaven, by the living God, that no single prediction was in vain, since the truth would be evident in its own period, and men must wait for the time, times, and half a time This is a summary of the... read more

Adam Clarke's Commentary on the Bible - Daniel 12:5
Behold there stood other two - Probably two angels. We know no more of them, unless they be the same as those called saints, Daniel 8:13 ; (note), which see. The river was most likely the Tigris. read more
