Daniel's Time of the End

Daniel's Time of the End

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?"

said to the... Eight-fold Description of the Messiah

1. His clothing was fine linen (Dan. 10:5; 12:6-7; cp. Rev. 1:13; 19:8; Exo. 28:4-12).

2. His loins were girded with a golden girdle (Dan. 10:5; cp. Rev. 1:13).

3. His body was like a beryl (Dan. 10:6; cp. Rev. 4:3). The beryl is a gem of blue green or other color combinations.

4. His face was as the appearance of lightning (Dan. 10:6; cp. Rev. 1:16; 10:1).

5. His eyes were as lamps of fire (Dan. 10:6; cp. Rev. 1:15; 19:12).

6. His arms like polished brass (Dan. 10:6; cp. Rev. 1:15; 10:1).

7. His feet like polished brass (Dan. 10:6; cp. Rev. 1:15; 10:1).

8. His voice was like a multitude (Dan. 10:6; cp. Rev. 1:15; 8:5; 10:2-4; 11:15; 14:2; 16:17-18; 19:6; Psm. 29:1-11.

clothed in... "Linen" speaks of righteousness. The man clothed in linen was of higher rank than the two. They were looking to Him for answers, as if He were the Lord. Notice, also, he was on the water, not in the water.

We see in the following Scripture that the disciples asked the Lord Jesus the same question. Matthew 24:3 "And as he sat upon the Mount of Olives, the disciples came unto him privately, saying, Tell us, when shall these things be? And what [shall be] the sign of thy coming, and of the end of the world?"

We also saw someone similar to this in Chapter 10 verse 5.

When most people look at the Lord, they see the figure of a man. It could, also, be Michael representing the Lord Jesus.
