"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."
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." Daniel 12:4
A portion of the book of Daniel was not to be understood "until
the time of the end." At the time of the end, many would
run too and fro through the scriptures, comparing text with
text, and understand these prophecies. We have reached that
time, please start our Free Bible Prophecy
course to learn more.
The Bible also predicts a time when it will be too late to
search the scriptures.
"Behold, the days come, saith the Lord GOD, that I will
send a famine in the land, not a famine of bread, nor a thirst
for water, but of hearing the words of the LORD: And they
shall wander from sea to sea, and from the north even to the
east, they shall run to and fro to seek the word of the LORD,
and shall not find it. In that day shall the fair virgins
and young men faint for thirst. Amos 8:11-13
However, the good news is that some people will understand
and be ready for the Lord when He returns. "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 12:10
The primary application of "knowledge increased"
is in reference to people understanding the prophecies of
the book of Daniel, however, many Bible scholars believe that
this prophecy also applies to an increasing knowledge of science,
medicine, travel, and technology.
We are living in "The Information Age" making this
sign seem even more obvious. Even the most skeptical mind
must admit that knowledge is exploding in all directions.
It is said that 80% percent of the world's total knowledge
has been brought forth in the last decade and that 90% percent
of all the scientists who have ever lived are alive today.
