Daniel 12:7
_ _ held up ... right ... and ... left hand — Usually the right hand was held up in affirmation as an appeal to heaven to attest the truth (Deuteronomy 32:40; Revelation 10:5, Revelation 10:6). Here both hands are lifted up for the fuller confirmation.
_ _ time, times, and a half — (See on Daniel 7:25). Newton, referring this prophecy to the Eastern apostasy, Mohammedanism, remarks that the same period of three and a half years, or 1260 prophetic days, is assigned to it as the Western apostasy of the little horn (Daniel 7:25); and so, says Prideaux, Mohammed began to forge his imposture, retiring to his cave, a.d. 606, the very year that Phocas made the grant to the bishop of Rome, whence he assumed the title, The Universal Pastor; Antichrist thus setting both his feet on Christendom together, the one in the East, and the other in the West. Three and a half is the time of the world power, in which the earthly kingdoms rule over the heavenly [Auberlen]. “Three and a half” represents the idea of spiritual trial; (besides this certain symbolical meaning, there is doubtless an accurate chronological meaning, which is as yet to us uncertain): it is half of “seven,” the complete number, so a semi-perfect state, one of probation. The holy city is trodden by the Gentiles forty-two months (Revelation 11:2), so the exercise of the power of the beast (Revelation 13:5). The two witnesses preach in sackcloth 1260 days, and remained unburied three days and a half: so the woman in the wilderness: also the same for a “time, times, and a half” (Revelation 11:3, Revelation 11:9, Revelation 11:11; Revelation 12:6, Revelation 12:14). Forty-two connects the Church with Israel, whose haltings in the wilderness were forty-two (Numbers 33:1-50). The famine and drought on Israel in Elijah’s days were for “three years and six months” (Luke 4:25; James 5:17); there same period as Antiochus’ persecution: so the ministry of the Man of Sorrows, which ceased in the midst of a week (Daniel 9:27) [Wordsworth, Apocalypse].
_ _ scatter ... holy people — “accomplished” here answers to “the consummation” (Daniel 9:27), namely, the “pouring out” of the last dregs of the curse on the “desolated holy people.” Israel’s lowest humiliation (the utter “scattering of her power”) is the precursor of her exaltation, as it leads her to seek her God and Messiah (Matthew 23:39). |
Daniel 12:7
He held up his right hand — He held up both hands to heaven, for the more sure and solemn confirmation of it; and to denote the unchangeableness of God's decrees both for good to the church, and for evil to her enemies. By him — By God the father, and by himself that liveth for ever, to shew the eternal God only knew that decreed it, and would bring it to pass. And an half — That is, a year, two years and half a year. We meet with this in the revelation, under the title, some times of three days and an half, put for three years and an half, sometimes, forty two months, sometimes, twelve hundred and sixty days. Shall be finished — Which reaches to the calling of the Jews upon the destruction of antichrist. |
Daniel 12:7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, which [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his (h) right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that [it shall be] for a (i) time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished (k) to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.
(h) Which was as it were a double oath, and did the more confirm the thing.
(i) Meaning, a long time, a longer time, and at length a short time: signifying that their troubles would have an end.
(k) When the Church will be scattered and diminished in such a way as it will seem to have no power. |
