Says Daniel 12:2, speaking of the resurrection: "And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth [speaking about the dead] shall awake [in the resurrection], some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And they that be wise" - and the Hebrew implies more than wisdom, it implies the ability to teach; it is as elders, wise ones, teachers that these are resurrected, having a mature and complete grasp and concept of reality and life and its purpose - "shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness [here is an educational teaching process] as the stars for ever and ever." And then Daniel is told in verse 4: "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end" - and it zeros in on two characteristics of that time - "many shall run to and fro and knowledge shall be increased." - Information Supplied By: Herbert W Armstrong Library
