Daniel 12:5

Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

Daniel 12:5 belongs to a warning that all must understand before the time of the end. It stands within a vision whose truths were sealed from some people but were opened by God to those who were ready to understand them. That opening shows that God can communicate new light directly to His chosen people without their needing to seek instruction from teachers who are in error.

The verse shows the people of God what characters they must form in order to pass through the test and proving of the last days. It rebukes living in spiritual weakness and backsliding and not knowing what one believes. It calls ministers who profess to believe the truth to be sanctified through the truth, for unless a change comes in their lives they will conclude that their Lord is delaying His coming.
