THEY "ROVE ABOUT"

The angel's declaration to Daniel, which began back at Daniel 10:20, now concludes with these heartwarming words: "And as for you, O Daniel,make  secret the words and seal up the book, until the time of the end.  Many will rove about, and the true knowledge will become abundant." (Daniel 12:4)  Much of what  Daniel was inspired  to write was indeed made secret and sealed up  to human understanding.  Why, Daniel himself later wrote:  "Now as for me, I heard, but I could not understand." (Daniel 12:8) In this sense Daniels' remained sealed for centuries.What about today?

We are privileged to live in "the times of the end" foretold in the book of Daniel. As prophesied, many faithful ones have 'roved about' in the pages of God's Word. The result?  With Jehovah's blessing, true knowledge has become abundant.  The faithful anointed Witnesses of Jehovah have been blessed with insight enabling them to understand the beasts of Daniel's prophecy, to warn against  "the disgusting thing that is causing desolation"-and these are just a few examples. (Daniel 11:31) This abundance of knowledge, then, is yet another identifying mark of "the holy ones of the Supreme One."  But Daniel received further evidence.
