Daniel 12:1-4 KJVS
[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. [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. [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. [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.[/U]
It was told to Daniel to seal up the book. Why?
Daniel 12:9
[9] And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
So it still wasn't the end.
[U]
Revelation 1:11
[11] Saying, I am Alpha and Omega, the first and the last: and,
What thou seest, write in a book, and send it unto the seven churches which are in Asia; unto Ephesus, and unto Smyrna, and unto Pergamos, and unto Thyatira, and unto Sardis, and unto Philadelphia, and unto Laodicea.
The bold part looks familiar. But the angel told him to send what he saw, why? I live by that Daniel saw the future of what was to come. John saw also the future but it was coming in his time. It wasn’t coming 2000 years later.
