But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and seal the book until the time of the end; many will go here and there, and knowledge will increase—instructing Daniel to preserve the prophecy for future generations who will need its message, suggesting that its full meaning will become clearer as the predicted events approach and knowledge increases. The "sealing" of the book indicates both its preservation and the incompleteness of contemporary understanding. The increase in knowledge suggests that end-times will involve expanded understanding of God's purposes.
