 Though he provided much information, Daniel himself did not know the exact timing. That book of prophecy concludes at Daniel chapter 12, and I'll read from verse 8. And I heard, but I understood not. Then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 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.
