The Prophecy of Daniel 12
by Brooks Alden
From "Thy Kingdom Come" - February 2014 - a publication of the Association of Covenant People, Burnaby, B.C., Canada
The Apostle Paul describes the time of the end very concisely in 2 Thessalonians 2:1-3. "Now we beseech you, brethren, by the coming of our Lord Jesus Christ, and by our gathering together unto him, That ye be not shaken in mind, or be troubled, neither by spirit, nor by word, nor by letter as from us, as that the day of Christ is at hand. Let no man deceive you by any means for that day shall not come, except there come a falling away first" Very few of us will deny that the signs of the deepening apostasy are all around us and most Christians believe that very shortly we will be standing in the presence of the Lord Jesus Christ. Of course, when the year 2000 came and passed without event, huge numbers of lukewarm Christians fell by the wayside in their belief of His Coming, as if somehow God had let them down. Interesting isn't it, that we somehow think God should follow our interpretation of His Prophecy. It just proves that His Word is wrapped up in such an intricately woven veil that truly, only the seasons seem clear to us.
PEOPLE FALL AWAY FOR DIFFERENT REASONS, BUT ONE IS FROM LOOKING TO THE "SETTING DATES" - A DAY OR YEAR. AND THERE SURE HAS BEEN LOTS OF THAT GOING ON FOR THE LAST 50 YEARS OR MORE - Keith Hunt
Still, one wonders! After all, He caused His Prophet Amos to declare "Surely the Lord God will do nothing, but he revealeth his secret unto his servants the prophets" (Amos 3: 7). And Jesus Himself said, "Behold, I have told you before" (Matthew 24: 25). So perhaps it should be obvious that God wants us to read the signs and study the prophecies, to become familiar with His Magnificent Plan. The fact that it is interwoven amongst all the Books of the Bible makes it a most demanding task but through continual study, secrets will emerge.
IT IS NOT GIVEN BUT TO THE VERY FEW TO
UNDERSTAND BIBLE PROPHECY; FOR IN EPH. 4 WE
STILL FIND GOD HAS IN HIS CHURCH "PROPHETS" AS
WELL AS OTHER FUNCTIONING OFFICES - Keith Hunt
Fortunately, today's students have the benefit of the tremendous studies of such scholars as Howard Rand, Ivan Panin, Bishop Usher, Frank Dowsett and many others.
JUST NOT SO AT ALL. THE ABOVE NAMED HAD NOT A
CLUE ABOUT BIBLE PROPHECY, AND TODAY 99.9
PERCENT OF THOSE WRITING ON PROPHECY, HAVE NO
CLUE EITHER - Keith Hunt
Daniel 12 is one of the most overwhelming prophecies in the entire Bible. Certainly, it should give hope to all those who endeavour to walk with Jesus Christ and pause to those who have yet to be drawn to Him. Of course, Daniel 12 ties in with numerous other prophecies throughout the Holy Scriptures but space permits mention of only a few. It is the last of Daniel's prophecies and relates to the time of great trouble for the descendants of Jacob Israel. In fact, Verse 1 foretells that at this time of unequalled trouble for true Israel, Jesus will return to deliver them......Then Daniel is told (Verse 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." This is a very significant verse in that it refers to a period at the end of the age when travel and increasing knowledge will become very commonplace. A well-known scholar pointed out to me that the word knowledge used in this verse also has the inference of "knowledge of evil" (Strongs' Concordance #1847). Certainly, we recognize that we are in the "Time of the End" but the question begging an answer is "When did this period begin?" Some suggest the words tie Daniel to Revelation in that John is told in Revelation 1: 3 that "The time is at hand"; meaning that what was sealed with Daniel is now being revealed with John. It's hard to disagree with this line of thought but perhaps there is another connection that should be explored. .
DANIEL 12 ACTUALLY STANDS ON ITS OWN. IT DOES
NOT NEED THE BOOK OF REVELATION. DANIEL 12
STANDS WITH DANIEL 11:40-45. FROM DANIEL 11:40 IT
IS ONE CONTINUOUS PROPHECY - Keith Hunt
Verse 5 & 6, Daniel sees two persons standing on each side of a river. One said to the other, who was now upon the waters, "How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?" So now we are faced with a second time reference, the first being a period known as the "time of the end" and then "the end of these wonders," that is, the pinnacle of the "Time of Trouble and the Resurrection." In reply, (Verse7) the man clothed in linen, believed by a growing number of Bible students as the Lord Jesus Christ Himself, lifts both arms, presumably pointing to the past and future, and refers to a time, times and half of times. Perhaps the quickest way to place "time, times and half a time" into perspective is to refer to Revelation 12: 14 in relation to Revelation 12: 6. Verse 12: 14 gives the time factor as "time, times and half of time" whereas 12: 6 describes the exact same event as a thousand two hundred and threescore days, meaning of course that the two expressions relate to an equivalent time period, i.e. 1,260 days......
WHICH IN CONTEXT CAN MEAN 1,260 LITERAL DAYS,
OR CAN MEAN 1,260 YEARS, USING A DAY FOR A
YEAR, USING EZEKIEL 4:6 - Keith Hunt
In Verses 8 & 9, Daniel said he doesn't understand so again he asks what shall be the end of these things. And again he is told to go his way because the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. In Verse 10, the time of the end is described in the sense that many will be purified, that the wicked shall do wickedly, that the wicked won't understand, but the wise (Bible students) will understand.
HE BIBLE INTERPRETS ITSELF. THE WISE = PSALM 111:10. ALSO VERSES 7-9 IN CONTEXT. IF YOU ARE NOT
OBSERVING THE 4TH COMMANDMENT OF THE GREAT
TEN, AND THAT MEANS THE 7TH DAY OF THE WEEK,
NOT THE 1ST, YOU WILL NEVER UNDERSTAND BIBLE
PROPHECY. AND THEN AS STATED BEFORE ONLY A FEW
7TH DAY OBSERVERS WILL BE "PROPHETS" IN GOD'S
CHURCH - Keith Hunt
In Verse 13 Daniel is told to go and wait for the end, that he will rest (in the grave) and will be in the Resurrection. Verse 11 is exceptionally important, "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."
THE WORD "SACRIFICE" IS NOT IN THE HEBREW. AND
SO MOST WHO TRY THEIR HAND AT PROPHECY, FALL
HEAD-OVER-HEELS RIGHT HERE. I GIVE YOU THE
ANSWER IN OTHER SECTIONS UNDER "PROPHECY" ON
MY WEBSITE AND MY BLOG - Keith Hunt
I agree with many of those Bible students who interpret this as 30 days (prophetically 30 years) beyond the 1,260 years that ended in 1917/18, bringing us to 1947/48. The agreement for the Jews to return to Jerusalem was signed in 1947 and the modern Israeli nation was born in 1948.
THIS VERSE HAS NOTHING AT ALL TO DO WITH
1947/48....NOTHING AT ALL, HENCE MANY ARE OFF THE
TRACKS AND INTO THE DITCH RIGHT HERE, ON
UNDERSTANDING DANIEL 12 - Keith Hunt
We have to remember that not all Jews are Israelite. Also that they have brought a religion based on the tradition of the elders to the Holy Land rather than on the Laws of God and the foundation of Jesus Christ. Consequently, to many scholars, the year 1948 marks the establishment of the abomination of desolation.
ONCE MORE THE ESTABLISHMENT OF THE
"ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE" OR
"ABOMINATION OF DESOLATION" HAS NOTHING TO DO
WITH 1948. HENCE MORE ARE OFF THE TRACKS AND
INTO THE DITCH - Keith Hunt.
I must confess that I am at a loss to understand Verse 12, "Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days." Perhaps one of you, dear readers, will be able to throw more light upon the verse. Please write us.......
...........................................
I HAVE AND I WILL, BUT I DOUBT THEY WILL TAKE
ANY NOTICE OR SPEND THE TIME TO STUDY ALL THAT
I HAVE WRITTEN ON BIBLE PROPHECY. IT WILL TAKE
MANY MONTHS IF NOT A FEW YEARS, TO STUDY ALL
I HAVE WRITTEN ON BIBLE PROPHECY. MOST WILL NOT
HAVE THE FORTITUDE TO READ AND FOLLOW IN THEIR
BIBLES ALL I HAVE WRITTEN ON PROPHECY, AND ALL
THE REPLIES I HAVE GIVEN TO MANY SO-CALLED
"PROPHETS" OF TODAY.
THIS AUTHOR GOES ON TO USE "LUNAR YEARS"
"SOLAR YEARS" HE FOLLOWS THE FALSE
IDEA OF GOD WORKING ON SOME KIND OF 6,000
YEAR PLAN. HE TIES THIS DATE WITH THAT DATE,
AND PULLS OUT OF THE HAT, THE BUNNY OF
HEZEKIAH'S 15 YEARS EXTRA LIFE GRANTED HIM, TO
PUT IT ALL TOGETHER AS 2001 PLUS 15 = 2016. HE
DOES PUT A ? AFTER 2016. HE'S BRIGHT ENOUGH TO
KNOW HE AND HIS GROUP AND ALL HIS DEAD
"PROPHETS" OF HIS YESTERDAY ORGANIZATION, WERE
WRONG ON THEIR PROPHETIC DATE SETTINGS FOR THE
END OF THIS AGE, AND THE RETURN OF JESUS CHRIST.
OH YES THERE ARE SIGNS TO WATCH FOR THAT WILL
CLEARLY TELL YOU WE ARE CLOSER TO THE END OF
THIS AGE.
I HAVE GIVEN YOU THOSE SIGNS AND HAVE
ANSWERED ALL THE POPULAR PROPHETS IN
CHRISTENDOM TODAY. I HAVE SHOWN YOU THEIR
ERRORS, AND HAVE GIVEN YOU THE TRUTH OF
DANIEL 12.
IT IS ALSO CONNECTED WITH THE PREVIOUS VERSES OF DANIEL 11:40-45.
IT IS CONNECTED TO THE END TIM,E PROPHECY OF A TIME OF TROUBLE LIKE NO OTHER IN HUMAN HISTORY.
IT IS CONNECTED TO THE RESURRECTION OF SAINTS AT THE END OF THE DAYS, WHEN DANIEL WILL STAND IN THE LOT WITH ALL SAINTS-- THE TIME OF THE RESURRECTION AND JESUS' RETURN TO EARTH.
IT IS THE TIME OF THE LAST 1260 DAYS, 3 AND 1/2 YEARS, 42 MONTHS, PLUS SOME OTHER DAYS THAT ONLY DANIEL GIVES IN THE LAST FEW VERSES.
IT IS INDEED A VERY END TIME PROPHECY THAT TAKES IN ALL OF THE BOOK OF REVELATION.

ANOTHER STUDY I DID ON DANIEL 12
Daniel 12Authorized (King James) Version
12 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth for the children of thy people:
WE HAVE COME TO THE KING OF THE NORTH DEFEATING THE KING OF THE SOUTH [verses 40-45]
and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to that same time:
JESUS SPOKE ABOUT THIS TIME OF TROUBLE LIKE NO OTHER, IN MATTHEW 24.
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.
IS THIS A DOUBLE RESURRECTION?....THE SAINTS AND SOME UNCONVERTED ONES. THERE WAS----
SOME RESURRECTED AFTER JESUS WAS RESURRECTED; YES IT IS THERE IN THE GOSPELS.
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.
ONES THAT ARE DOING THE WORK OF GOD
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.
THAT TIME IS NOW
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. 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? 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.
IT IS THE SAME TIME AS GIVEN IN THE BOOK OF REVELATION. A TIME, TIMES, AND HALF A TIME IS A YEAR, TWO YEARS, AND HALF A YEAR. GOD'S ORIGINAL YEAR WAS 12 MONTHS AND 30 DAYS TO A MONTH = 1260 DAYS OR YEARS - 42 MONTHS, 3 AND A 1/2 YEARS.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? 9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 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.
THOSE THAT DO GOD'S COMMANDMENTS WILL KNOW AND UNDERSTAND THE END TIME
PROPHECIES - PSALM 111: 10
11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up,
NOTICE THE WORD "SACRIFICE" IS NOT IN THE HEBREW.
ITALIC WORDS IN THE AUTHORIZED KJV MEANS IT IS NOT IN THE HEBREW. THE DAILY STOPPED WILL BE DAILY LIFE AS WE KNOW IT TODAY, AND GOING TO THE WAILING WALL WILL STOP AS IT WILL COME DOWN, TO FULFILL JESUS PROPHECY THAT NOT ONE STONE OF THE OLD TEMPLE WILL STAND BUT COME DOWN.
AND IT IS THE ABOMINATION THAT MAKES DESOLATE.
IT IS THIS THAT JESUS WAS REFERRING TO IN MAT. 24; MARK 13; LUKE 21. THE ABOMINATION OF THE LAST AND 7TH RESURRECTED HOLY ROMAN EMPIRE OF EUROPE.
THIS BEAST POWER WITH A CHURCH RULING IT IS AN ABOMINATION TO GOD.
THE GOSPEL OF LUKE CHAPTER 21 AND VERSES 20, 21 GIVES THE INTERPRETATION.
THE KING OF THE NORTH WILL PLACE ITS ARMIES AROUND JERUSALEM AND MAKE IT DESOLATE.
there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
MORE DAYS THAN 1260. WHAT THAT IS ALL ABOUT WE ARE NOT TOLD
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.
DANIEL WILL BE RAISED TO LIFE IN THE FIRST RESURRECTION AT THE END OF THOSE
DAYS
Keith Hunt
A Work that will not be Believed!
