12.5 - Discussion of Daniel 12, verse 11-13

>>> Verses 11 and 12: The timescale about the 1260 days is as, for example, given in Daniel 7 verse 25: “He will try to change their religious laws and festivals, and God's people will be under his power for three and a half years”= 1260 days.

We arrive at “1290 days” taking the time without offering and 30 days for the restoration of worship; this is 1260 + 30= 1290 days. The restoration of worship will take time, see Ezequiel 39 verse 7:

 “I will make sure that my people Israel know my holy name, and I will not let my name be disgraced any more. Then the nations will know that I, the Lord, am the holy God of Israel”. The 30 days represent this restoration time.

1335 days is 1260 days + 75 days for purification of the land. See Ezequiel 39 verse 12: “It will take the Israelites seven months to bury all the corpses and make the land clean again”. … Also the return and reunification of Judah with the ten tribes of Israel will need time before the full and complete worshipping can start again.  See Ezequiel 37: 15-28, where it talks about Judah and Israel in One Kingdom: “…...“Mortal man,” he said, “take a wooden stick and write on it the words, ‘The kingdom of Judah.’ Then take another stick and write on it the words, ‘The kingdom of Israel……”.

Also see Zechariah 10 verses 6-10: “…….I will call my people and gather them together….” And in addition see Zechariah 14: 8-21.

At the end of verse 12 of Daniel 12 it says that we have to remain faithful until the 1,335 days are over. See also Matthew 25 verses

1-13, where we read about the Parable of the Ten Young Women: “……Watch out, then, because you do not know the day or the hour”. 

>>> Verse 13: This verse mentions that at the end Daniel will die, but he will rise again. This rest of Daniel is only for his body, but not for his Spirit, because for the Lord we all are alive. See Luke 20 verse 38: “He is the God of the living, not of the dead, for to him all are alive”.
