Dan 12:4
(4) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

I believe that in scripture "the time of the end," as well as "the last days," refers to the whole New Testament period. That is when knowledge was increased and when the servants of God were sent to "go forth" (to and fro) with the Gospel to the whole earth. It started with Christ's death and resurrection after He witnessed to the nation of Israel, and it ends with his triumphant return on the clouds of glory. I believe that this is the time of the increase in knowledge and when many (the elect) run to and fro or "go forth" with the power of the Revelation of God, through the Holy Spirit pored out at Pentecost. I believe this refers to the great knowledge through the Holy Spirit that has been given to us and signified by the sign at Pentecost.

Acts 2:14-21
  • "But Peter, standing up with the eleven, lifted up his voice, and said unto them, Ye men of Judaea, and all ye that dwell at Jerusalem, be this known unto you, and hearken to my words:
  • For these are not drunken, as ye suppose, seeing it is but the third hour of the day.
  • But this is that which was spoken by the prophet Joel;
  • And it shall come to pass in the last days, saith God, I will pour out of my Spirit upon all flesh: and your sons and your daughters shall prophesy, and your young men shall see visions, and your old men shall dream dreams:
  • And on my servants and on my handmaidens I will pour out in those days of my Spirit; and they shall prophesy:
  • And I will shew wonders in heaven above, and signs in the earth beneath; blood, and fire, and vapour of smoke:
  • The sun shall be turned into darkness, and the moon into blood, before that great and notable day of the Lord come:
  • And it shall come to pass, that whosoever shall call on the name of the Lord shall be saved."
This is the uncovering of the seal on the book, the Revelation of the Holy Spirit, the time when His servants will dream dreams and have visions, the time when we understand we have one Priest in Christ where we are all made kings and priests unto God through Him. This is the time when we receive the knowledge to understand that we are now all Kings and Priests unto him. Thus we prophesy, see visions, dream dreams, and interpret mysteries because knowledge of the word has increased. The mystery of God kept secret for so long was uncovered by Christ, yet progressively revealed to us in His own time. The whole New Testament period is the time when "that which was kept a mystery or secret" from the beginning, would be revealed by Christ sending the Holy Spirit to enlighten all His servants. When Christ sent the comforter to us, He began that revelation to increase knowledge in the Earth of Him, and I believe it increases more as we near the end of all things. The latter days when Christ gives us a mouth and words of fire where none can gainsay or resist.

Romans 16:25-26
  • "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
  • But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:"
The mystery is that Israel would be made up of Jews and Gentiles, and according to the gospel revealed in the faith of Christ. Note that the passage in Daniel, he is told to shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end, meaning it was not meant to be understood in Daniel's day until that time. While the apostle John is told not to seal up the visions of the book God had given him, meaning it was now to be revealed. That's why it is called the book of the Apocalypse (uncovering), or revealing the secrets of the knowledge that was before kept secret.

Revelation 22:6
  • "And he said unto me, These sayings are faithful and true: and the Lord God of the holy prophets sent his angel to shew unto his servants the things which must shortly be done."
The Lord sent His Messenger to reveal the mystery of what things would shortly be done. And with Christ's death and resurrection, that revelation started and it is revealed to the election of the Israel of God, while the nation of Israel (in part) is blinded to it.

Daniel 12:4
  • "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
God's messenger Daniel was told to keep this a mystery until the time of the end when Christ would come, while after Christ came God's messenger John was told not to keep the things a mystery, but to reveal these things to the servants of God. This necessarily would increase the knowledge that was before restricted. Revelation is given in cryptic symbolism and parabolic imagery so that the wicked might be confounded by its mystery. By contrast, the election is given "of the Spirit" to understand these mysteries or secrets. A principle God explained plainly in places like Matthew 13:

Matthew 13:10-11
  • "And the disciples came, and said unto him, Why speakest thou unto them in parables?
  • He answered and said unto them, Because it is given unto you to know the mysteries of the kingdom of heaven, but to them it is not given."
People often ask me, why did God make the book of Revelation so difficult to understand. My answer is always because it is revealed only to those who hold the word of God as their ultimate authority in interpretations, meaning interpretations belong to God (Genesis 41:15-16; 40:8 ). It is the few who want to do that. Those who seek worldly, carnal, and extrabiblical interpretations, are confounded by the symbolism as I can see some people like this here. While those who interpret by scripture alone (Sola Scriptura) through the Spirit of Christ, have these truths revealed to them. These are those called of God to receive truth, while others refuse the truth presented by God in love. Visa'vis, even as Daniel in the previous verse 3 prophesied in the symbolism of us being "as" stars. Something Revelation also carries through in that book.

Daniel 12:3
  • "And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever."
We receive the knowledge in Christ Jesus that we are these stars of heaven! Israel were these stars of heaven that were cast down from the kingdom (Revelation 12) representation. It was a mystery not known in Daniel's time, but is NOW amade manifest in the Revelation or uncovering of the mystery of the true nature of Israel, the chosen people of God. That is HOW knowledge is being increased. The nation of Israel that rejected Christ are as the fallen stars, or the stars cast down from heaven (Revelation 12) that they no longer be the Kingdom of heaven on earth representation. For example, the kingdom of heaven representation where they are as stars there is taken from them and given to the New Testament church. That same knowledge of this mystery that is revealed in Revelation 12:4 of the stars cast down from heaven is reiterated in Christ's parable of the Vinyard and the kingdom taken from those who rejected its true nature.

Matthew 21:42-43
  • "Jesus saith unto them, Did ye never read in the scriptures, The stone which the builders rejected, the same is become the head of the corner: this is the Lord's doing, and it is marvellous in our eyes?
  • Therefore say I unto you, The kingdom of God shall be taken from you, and given to a nation bringing forth the fruits thereof."

All these things are part of the Revelation, the revealing of the mystery/secret in the last days, which encompasses the whole New Testament era. Daniel's prophecy referred to a distant time when Christ would come and bring that Revelation. Daniel's prophesy was fulfilled in Christ going away and sending the comforter/consoler that reveals this mystery and shows us all things that are to come.

John 16:13-15
  • "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
  • He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you.
  • All things that the Father hath are mine: therefore said I, that he shall take of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
Just as we read in Revelation that the Spirit was come to show John things that were to come, and God reiterated it was to show His servants things that were to come. This is the mystery being revealed, and the knowledge of God's plans being revealed. To one revealed today, to another revealed 2 years ago, and to another revealed tomorrow. It shows us that the stars falling and the moon not giving her light is the messengers of the church (Revelation 2:5), not physical stars falling to earth. Showing us that the great city Babylon falling is the unfaithful church in captivity, not the world system. Showing us that the two witnesses of Revelation being killed are the faithful messengers establishing truth (Deuteronomy 19:15) within that church, not Elijah and Moses. Showing us that the famine is of hearing the word of God, not starvation in Africa. Or that the great harlot decked out like kingdom royalty is actually the false church who has sold herself for gain, and not worldwide economics. ...and so on and so forth. The Mystery is revealed when knowledge is increased. Israel, to whom Daniel prophesied with premature zeal, sought after self-righteousness, physical freedom from the Roman government, and signs of the predicted messiah come to set them free from the rule of the Romans, but received none of it. Because their methodology of interpretation was flawed. Like the Premillennial dispensationalism and Preterism. Daniel's prophecy remained sealed up to them (in part). Because the language of Scripture was designed so that only those who received the Spirit of truth by grace, could have this knowledge.

The mystery of the gospel including the gentiles, etc., did indeed increase knowledge on many levels. But that is not the mystery that John specifically did not write that is mentioned in Revelation 10, but is rather an exception to all that was revealed in the greater book of Revelation. Which mystery was not to be revealed until "the seventh angel, when he is about to sound"--which is rather the "finish" of the mystery that John did not write or reveal.

Tell me, what knowledge you believe has increased exactly?

But that is not the mystery that John specifically did not write that is mentioned in Revelation 10, but is rather an exception to all that was revealed in the greater book of Revelation. Which mystery was not to be revealed until "the seventh angel, when he is about to sound"--which is rather the "finish" of the mystery that John did not write or reveal.

Rev 18:8-9
(8) Therefore shall her plagues come in one day, death, and mourning, and famine; and she shall be utterly burned with fire: for strong is the Lord God who judgeth her.
(9) And the kings of the earth, who have committed fornication and lived deliciously with her, shall bewail her, and lament for her, when they shall see the smoke of her burning,

Those who have come out of this unfaithful Church, who have lived within her fornicating walls, who were killed within her streets, but who now (by the reviving of the Spirit of Life) have come out of her and stand afar off with God. They stand in the spiritual Mountain retreat, their only true peace and safety. Is God not a God afar off and not near them? Thus we are in the mountains, bemoaning HOW this woman was once was a glorious Church, but in one hour God has brought her down to nothing! That is the purpose! That we might see the Glorious workings of God and prophesy again in bitterness of the results of this harlotry. For the word of God is sweet in our mouths, but also bitter as we prophesy again of its results.

Rev 10:10-11
(10) And I took the little book out of the angel's hand, and ate it up; and it was in my mouth sweet as honey: and as soon as I had eaten it, my belly was bitter.
(11) And he said unto me, Thou must prophesy again before many peoples, and nations, and tongues, and kings.

The Word of God is a wonderful thing as sweet as honey in many ways, and in many ways, once revealed, it makes our belly bitter, because of what we see in the Revelation. What we see is not only the purpose of God in His great mercy, but also the purpose of God in his great wrath upon those who choose to be called by His name, and yet apostasize and drag it through the mire. There is great wrath upon THIS people - the people of the congregation. Some Churches choose to only teach of the great mercy of God, and neglect the bitter pill of the warnings and promises of God concerning unfaithfulness and apostasy. The two witnesses tell BOTH. And "THAT" is why they are killed. Because who wants to hear that their Church has become a graveyard to the elect. It is a mystery to them. The intent or purpose of all these things is the knowledge of the elect and to the glory of God. Mystery Babylon, who but God can reveal it, and to what purpose. Selah.

Rev 10:6-7
(6) And sware by him that liveth for ever and ever, who created heaven, and the things that therein are, and the earth, and the things that therein are, and the sea, and the things which are therein, that there should be time no longer:
(7) But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished, as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

Revelation 10:6–7 does not teach that the mystery of God remained completely hidden until the seventh angel sounds. That is not what the text says.

The mystery of God was indeed hidden in ages past, but it was uncovered through Jesus Christ and progressively revealed in His appointed time. The entire New Testament era is the unfolding of what had once been concealed. Christ revealed it, and through the Holy Spirit He continues to enlighten His servants.

When John writes that “in the days of the voice of the seventh angel… the mystery of God should be finished,” he is not saying it was unknown until that exact moment. Rather, he is saying it will be brought to completion. There is a difference between something being revealed and something being finished.

The prophets spoke of it. Christ unveiled it. The Spirit illuminates it. And as history moves toward the sounding of the seventh angel, understanding increases in accordance with God’s timing. But when that trumpet sounds, the mystery is no longer in the process of unfolding — it reaches its fulfillment.

So no, the passage does not mean the mystery remained totally hidden from all men until the seventh trumpet. It means the divine plan, long revealed in stages, will finally be consummated.

Selah!

And yet,there are those who refuse to accept the increase.
They insist the earth is flat.
Some insist gravity is a myth.
And some believe the earth is less than 10,000 years old.

And of course there are those who insist Science is Satanic.
Do they believe in Doctors? Some don't.And their babies die due to that.They should be in prison. You can't neglect children to death under protection of our 1st Amendment.

So,while knowledge has increased,there are those who believe God prefers they remain primitively ignorant .

Which is a problem for everyone they encounter.

The time of Christ wasn't the 'end". The world didn't revolve around Israel. The only thing that changed was we went from the dispensation of the law to the dispensation of grace. Because the foundations of your eschatology is flawed, the chance of arriving at the real truth is basically nil. There is no reason to try and force symbolism upon Rev. when it doesn't fit. "If the plain reading of scripture makes sense, seek no other sense". Rev. makes sense when read literally and when symbolism is used, it is explained as I have shown you.

You are interpreting. I was not.

You are speaking of two mysteries or revelations, many which came with Christ at His coming, and one that according to John, was sealed. If not, recite what exactly it was that John read but was told not to write.

And if the mystery is nearly fulfilled--is that an accurate description of the times...as now being better (of more knowledge) than when the church was young? Hardly. What new revelations were revealed since then? But I am only now being reasonable in order to show that what you have believed is not even that--not even reasonable. Yet reason was not my first intention, but rather to simply state what is actually true, which I have done.

But that is not the mystery that John specifically did not write that is mentioned in Revelation 10..."

So here is the question again, tell me, what knowledge you believe has increased exactly? What knowledge of Daniel 12:4 did Christ talked about.

I didn't answer your question...because you had already answered it. You referred to all the revelations that came with Christ and the knowledge of the gospel first to the Jew and also the Greek...in so many words. That much is true--I said that.

Was there something more of all that was revealed at that time that you wanted me to address? Because, quoting the entire New Testament after you had already summarized it just seems redundant. In which case, it would be good to move on and hear your answer to my question(s) of you?

The mystery of God was indeed hidden in ages past, but it was uncovered through Jesus Christ and progressively revealed in His appointed time.
I believe that what you are saying in the part below is true, and it does shed more light on the meaning of the above verse (for me).

John 19
30 When Jesus therefore had received the vinegar, he said, It has been finished [tetelestai - from G5055 teleo]: and he bowed his head, and gave up the ghost.

F5055 teleo
from 5056; to end, i.e. complete, execute, conclude, discharge (a debt):--accomplish, make an end, expire, fill up, finish, go over, pay, perform.

You already mentioned this verse below:

Romans 16:25-27
Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began, But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith: To God only wise, be glory through Jesus Christ for ever. Amen.

Revelation 10:7
But in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall begin to sound, the mystery of God should be finished [G5055 teleo], as he hath declared to his servants the prophets.

@TribulationSigns

Here's more:
-- God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds, -- Hebrews 1:1.

The mountain of the LORD's house

-- And it shall be, in the last days the mountain of the LORD's house shall be established in the top of the mountains, and shall be exalted above the hills; and all nations shall flow into it. And many people shall go and say, Come, and let us go to the mountain of the LORD, to the house of the God of Jacob.

And He will teach us of His ways, and we will walk in His paths. For out of Zion shall go out the Law, and the word of the LORD from Jerusalem.

And He shall judge among the nations, and shall rebuke many people; and they shall beat their swords into plowshares, and their spears into pruning-hooks. Nation shall not lift up sword against nation, neither shall they learn war any more. O house of Jacob, come and let us walk in the light of the LORD. -- Isaiah 2:2-5

The mountain of the LORD's house. Exalted above the hills.

-- But you have come to Mount Zion and to the city of the living God, the heavenly Jerusalem, and to an innumerable company of angels, to the general assembly and church of the first-born who are written in Heaven, and to God the judge of all, and to the spirits of just men made perfect, and to Jesus the Mediator of the new covenant, and to the blood of sprinkling that speaks better things than that of Abel. -- Hebrews 12:22-25.

And all nations shall flow into it.

-- whom He also called, not only us, of Jews, but also of the nations | Gentiles? -- Romans 9:24

-- (as it has been written, "I have made you a father of many nations") --before God, whom he believed, who makes the dead live, and calls the things which do not exist as though they do exist. -- Romans 4:17

-- And He came and preached peace to you who were afar off, and to those who were near. For through Him we both have access by one Spirit to the Father.

Now therefore you are no longer strangers and foreigners, but fellow citizens with the saints, and of the household of God, and are built upon the foundation of the apostles and prophets, Jesus Christ Himself being the chief cornerstone, in whom every building having been fitly framed together, grows into a holy sanctuary in the Lord; in whom you also are built together for a dwelling place of God through the Spirit. -- Ephesians 2:17-22

The LORD's house

-- Jesus answered and said to them, Destroy this temple and in three days I will raise it up. Then the Jews said, This temple was forty-six years building, and will you rear it up in three days?

But He spoke of the temple of His body. Therefore when He had risen from the dead, His disciples remembered that He had said this to them, and they believed the Scripture and the word which Jesus had said. -- John 2:19-22

The mountain of the LORD's house

-- Jesus said to her, Woman, believe Me, the hour is coming when you shall neither worship the Father in this mountain nor yet at Jerusalem. You worship what you do not know, we know what we worship, for salvation is of the Jews.

But the hour is coming, and now is, when the true worshipers shall worship the Father in spirit and truth, for the Father seeks such to worship Him. God is a spirit, and they who worship Him must worship in spirit and in truth.

The woman said to Him, I know that Messiah is coming, who is called Christ. When He has come, He will tell us all things. Jesus said to her, I AM, He speaking to you. -- John 4:21-26.

Judging among the nations

-- And before him shall be gathered all nations: and he shall separate them one from another, as a shepherd divides his sheep from the goats: And he shall set the sheep on his right hand, but the goats on the left.

And the King shall answer and say unto them, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as all of you have done it unto one of the least of these my brethren, all of you have done it unto me.

Then shall he answer them, saying, Verily I say unto you, Inasmuch as all of you did it not to one of the least of these, all of you did it not to me. -- Extract from Matthew 25:31-46

He teaches us His ways

-- God, who at many times and in many ways spoke in time past to the fathers by the prophets, has in these last days spoken to us by His Son, whom He has appointed heir of all things, by whom also He made the worlds, -- Hebrews 1:1.

Comparing scripture with scripture it would indeed appear that the mystery being referenced in Revelation 10:7 is the mystery Paul is speaking about in Romans 16:25-26. It makes sense.​

You have not answered my question.

Dan 12:4
(4) But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.

You said, "The mystery of the gospel including the gentiles, etc., did indeed increase knowledge on many levels.
But that is not the mystery that John specifically did not write that is mentioned in Revelation 10..."

So here is the question again, tell me, what knowledge you believe has increased exactly? What knowledge of Daniel 12:4 did Christ talked about.
@ScottA are you not the person who claims to be - not even "A" prophet but "THE" 'prophet' "sent by God to reveal what the seven thunders uttered - which John was told to seal up and not to write"?

- the person who won't even 'reveal' what the seven thunders apparently uttered except in your book, which anyone who wants to know what "the mystery" you have been "sent to reveal" is, must BUY in order "to have it revealed"?

I'll answer. I've covered this a lot in my teaching. Little at a time because is to large to comprehend. Knowledge is like a ball rolling down hill and speeding up the closer to the bottom. Let us start with a boat in Jesus's time. Jesus slept in a wooder boat with sails. Roman ships were wooden with sales. In 1492 Columbus sailed on wooden ships with sails. Lets jump to the 1800's. The Civil war began and ended with wooden boats and sails. At the end of the 1800's, steam engines, and metal ships, with sails.

At the beginning of 1900. ships were metal with boilers for steam. 1905 in Kitty hawk NC. the Wright bros flew for 20 sec...In 1917 biplanes were flying in WW1. Aircraft carriers and battle ships and diesel engines. All that within 20 year. It took 1800 yrs to progress boats, and within 50 years battleships. See how knowledge was slow but increased dramatically. Within 20 yrs WW2 started with single engine planes, at the end was Jet fighters. that took 3 yrs.

I have revealed what the seven thunders uttered here...for free. But books cost money, if only even a little.

Knowledge of Daniel 12:4 has NOTHING to do with technologies like many people like you think.

John 16:13-14
  • "Howbeit when he, the Spirit of truth, is come, he will guide you into all truth: for he shall not speak of himself; but whatsoever he shall hear, that shall he speak: and he will shew you things to come.
  • He shall glorify me: for he shall receive of mine, and shall shew it unto you."
In other words, because Christ died, the mystery that was sealed in the Book would now be made manifest or made known. The Lamb of Judah was the only one "Qualified" (because He is without sin) to bring the Revelation of this book to us, via the Spirit. Thus the Revelation of the Book is unsealed for us. Selah! Through His death, Resurrection, and sending of the Spirit of Revealing. The word of the Book kept secret is what Paul also spoke about in Romans.

Romans 16:25-26
  • "Now to him that is of power to stablish you according to my gospel, and the preaching of Jesus Christ, according to the Revelation of the mystery, which was kept secret since the world began,
  • But now is made manifest, and by the scriptures of the prophets, according to the commandment of the everlasting God, made known to all nations for the obedience of faith:"
A Mystery (secret) is that which was kept sealed that we not understand. Now being manifest is Christ coming and making it known by (symbolically) unsealing the Book. This is the Book that the Lion of the tribe of Judah, the Root of David, hath prevailed [nikao], (conquered or overcome), to loose the seals and open, that the truth of this mystery is made known to us.

This Book simply illustrates the "Revelation" of the Word of God. In other words, God is now revealing things that were before not understood in scripture. As was illustrated also in the Book of Daniel

Daniel 12:4
  • "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and Seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased."
This Book signifies the revelation of God, the prophecy of God that was kept from being understood until the time of the end, when the seal would be loosed and the servants of God would "then understand" the secret or mystery during the New Testament period. Selah!

I received the gift of Knowledge from the Lord. I have the Holy Spirit to guide me, and the Holy Spirit speaks to me. He tells me what I need to know.

"Gift of knowledge"? And the Holy Spirit speaks to you, telling you what you need to know regarding technologies instead of understanding the mystery of God?

Delusional. :laughing:

IF you don't believe technology advanced knowledge you are fooling yourself. That cell phone you have has more computing power than banks had in 1980. You can google anything, get directions, use the calculator, check your bank account, and text, that keeps you from mailing letters that you used to. How that for a knowledge increase.

You are sadly defying the gifts of the spirit. You had better pray to God for forgiveness because you are denying Jesus sending the Holy Spirit in John 16:13-14.
