Daniel 12:8 — 9, “I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.” Many wonder exactly what it was that Daniel couldn’t understand. He was told many things, some he was allowed to pass on to everyone and some he was told to seal in a book. We can only speculate that Daniel couldn’t grasp the concept of one person being able to control the worlds economy and everything that would be associated with it, including controlling the source of the food we eat.
