Dan 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.
Dan 12:8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
Dan 12:9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
Dan 12:10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
Daniel did not understand what was told him because he could not understand it.
Which the book is sealed until the time of the end which then the saints can understand.
Because many shall run to and fro, advanced travel, and knowledge shall be increased, advanced technology, which then the saints can see, hear, and know, what is going on in the earth, and how the world can come together as one for they can communicate with each other, and travel to each other, and establish a system that is not the operation of God and going against all people who oppose them causing Him to end sin on earth.
Daniel had a limited view and knowledge of the world for about all he knew was when he went outside and looked around, and the scant few people around him.
So he could not understand the time of the end.
It can only be the time of the end when technology causes the world to be able to communicate with each other.
Mat 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?
Mat 24:4 And Jesus answered and said unto them, Take heed that no man deceive you.
Mat 24:5 For many shall come in my name, saying, I am Christ; and shall deceive many.
Mat 24:6 And ye shall hear of wars and rumours of wars: see that ye be not troubled: for all these things must come to pass, but the end is not yet.
Mat 24:7 For nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places.
Mat 24:8 All these are the beginning of sorrows.
The disciples would be in the same position of Daniel having a limited view of the world.
How could the disciples hear of wars and rumours of wars, and nation shall rise against nation, and kingdom against kingdom: and there shall be famines, and pestilences, and earthquakes, in divers places on earth without technology.
Without technology to see what is happening in the world the disciples would not know these things.
Mat 24:9 Then shall they deliver you up to be afflicted, and shall kill you: and ye shall be hated of all nations for my name's sake.
Mat 24:14 And this gospel of the kingdom shall be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come.
Also how could they be hated of all nations and the Gospel be preached in all the world for a witness unto all nations; and then shall the end come in the first century when Christianity did not spread that far yet.
1Co 15:24 Then cometh the end, when he shall have delivered up the kingdom to God, even the Father; when he shall have put down all rule and all authority and power.
Also it says when the end will come but how can the end be in the first century for if it was Jesus would of put down the world but we see they are still on the earth being rebellious.
Mat 24:1 And Jesus went out, and departed from the temple: and his disciples came to him for to shew him the buildings of the temple.
Mat 24:2 And Jesus said unto them, See ye not all these things? verily I say unto you, There shall not be left here one stone upon another, that shall not be thrown down.
This is what happened in the first century.
The rest is for now the end time.
The disciples wanted to know of the end of the world which did not happen in the first century.
Which we can see the nations against each other and earthquakes, pestilences, famines happening in different parts of the earth.
It sounds like Jesus is speaking to the disciples knowing this but it must be directed to the Christians at the end time.
