·             Dan. 12:1. Close of probation; time of trouble. G.C. 613.  

·             Dan. 12:2. Partial resurrection. G.C. 673.  

·             Dan. 12:3. Soul-winner’s reward.

·             Dan. 12:4. Increase of knowledge.  

·             Dan. 12:5-7. At the end of 1260 years, 1798, the power of the holy people (the Bible) would be scattered. British Bible Society organized 1804; American 1816.  

·             Dan. 12:8, 9. This period called “the time of the end.” Words of Daniel sealed until that time. D.A. 234, 235.  

·             Dan. 12:10. Wise understand the book of Daniel in the time of the end. P.K. 547.  

·             Dan. 12:11, margin. Daily (paganism) taken away (508 A.D.) “to set up the abomination” that maketh desolate; 508 A.D. plus 1290 equals 1798 A.D., beginning of the time of the end when the sealed word would be opened and studied. The word “sacrifice” is supplied by man’s wisdom, and is not in the text. E.W. 74.

·             Dan. 12:12. As there is no beginning point given here, we understand the period begins at the same date given in verse 11; 508 A.D. plus 1335 equals 1843 A.D. Then the glad news of Christ’s return was proclaimed.  

·             Dan. 12:13. Daniel stands in his lot; his writings studied in time of the end. G.C. 356.
