Daniel 12:11

"Many will purify themselves, and make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand."

Key Reflection

This verse suggests that in the end times, many will seek spiritual purification and refinement through faith and righteousness, while the wicked will continue in their evil ways, showing no interest or understanding of true holiness. Only the wise will grasp the significance of these divine transformations.

From the Scholars: Barnes' Notes

And from the time -Though the angel had saidDaniel 12:4,Daniel 12:9that his communication was closed, and that he imparted all that he was commissioned to communicate to Daniel, yet, as it would seem, in reply to the earnest request of Daniel, he volunteers an additional statement, in regard to certain important periods that were to occur in the future. The language, however, is very obscure; and it would appear, fromDaniel 12:13, that the angel scarcely expected that Daniel would understand it. The statement relates to certain periods that would succeed the time when the daily sacrifice would be taken away. Two such periods are mentioned as marking important epochs in the future.
