But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."I'm not quite certain which book is being talked about here. Is it the book of life, which was referenced earlier in the chapter and in Revelation? If so, why would that book need to be sealed? Or is it this book, the book of Daniel, which apparently isn't sealed since we can read it?
My best guess is that this is referring to another book with further details on what was/is to come. This book must contain more prophecies, or perhaps interpret them so they make sense to everyone. But if this book is sealed, why will knowledge increase? Is it because we're trying to figure out the meaning, and therefore pick apart possible explanations to try and understand?
