it was prophesied in Daniel 12 that the Book would be sealed up until the time of the end, meaning nobody would really understand it.
The time of the end would correspond with the book becoming readable:
And one of the elders saith unto me, Weep not: behold, the
Lion of the tribe of
Juda, the Root of David, hath prevailed to open the book, and to loose the seven seals thereof.
Revelation 5:5
For I [will be] unto Ephraim as a lion, and as a young
lion to the house of
Judah: I, [even] I, will tear and go away; I will take away, and none shall rescue [him].
Hosea 5:14
Hosea 5:14 leads to a pair of references over the next seven verses:
And said unto them, Thus it is written, and thus it behoved Christ to suffer, and to rise from the dead the third day:
Luke 24:46
But go ye and learn what [that] meaneth, I will have mercy, and not sacrifice: for I am not come to call the righteous, but sinners to repentance.
Matthew 9:13
After two days will he revive us: in the third day he will raise us up, and we shall live in his sight.
Hosea 6:2
For I desired mercy, and not sacrifice; and the knowledge of Elohim more than burnt offerings.
Hosea 6:6
Revelation 5:5 -> Hosea 5:5 (
pride comes before a fall).
And the
pride of Israel doth testify to his face: therefore shall Israel and Ephraim fall in their iniquity; Judah also shall fall with them.
Hosea 5:5
Back to Daniel again:
But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the
time of the end:
many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
Daniel 12:4
I will stand upon my watch, and set me upon the tower, and will watch to see what he will say unto me, and what I shall answer when I am reproved.
And YHWH answered me, and said, Write the vision, and make [it] plain upon tables,
that he may run that readeth it.
For the vision [is] yet for an appointed time, but
at the end it shall speak, and not lie: though it tarry, wait for it; because it will surely come, it will not tarry.
Behold, his soul [which] is lifted up is not upright in him: but the just shall live by his faith.
Yea also, because he transgresseth by wine, [he is] a
proud man, neither keepeth at home, who enlargeth his desire as hell, and [is] as death, and cannot be satisfied, but gathereth unto him all nations, and heapeth unto him all people:
Habakkuk 2:1-5
As the truth of Christ is in me, no man shall stop me of this boasting in the regions of Achaia.
2 Corinthians 11:10
And back to 5:5 again.
Likewise, ye younger, submit yourselves unto the elder. Yea, all [of you] be subject one to another, and be clothed with humility: for God resisteth the
proud, and giveth grace to the humble.
1 Peter 5:5
