Daniel 12:4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, until the time of the end. Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.

Because the second sentence is listed with the first sentence in this verse it is implied that those two events are indicators of an end.

The original text was not numbered and they are two separate sentences. The revisionist tied those sentences together by implication by numbering them together.

It is true that the world is running to and fro and that knowledge is increasing right now. 

Daniel is the most prolific prophet in history both in content and accuracy. We tend to believe what he has said will come true.

What book did Daniel have access to and was allowed to seal?

The word “until” implies that Daniel is going to be available to unseal that book.

The end of what?

Implications do not answer questions. They only create more questions.

Ecclesiastes 1:8 All things are full of weariness; a man cannot utter it; the eye is not satisfied with seeing, nor the ear filled with hearing.

We see this truth playing out today on a massive scale. Larger and larger data centers are being built worldwide to harvest vast amounts of data, all in service of artificial intelligence. The goal? To gain ever more knowledge and make discoveries that promise to ease life and make it better.

When I asked one AI about this very passage, it gave a striking response: Data ≠ Knowledge.

I was surprised—and impressed—by that honesty. It prompted me to extend the thought: Data ≠ Knowledge ≠ Truth.

No matter how much we accumulate, we will wear ourselves out chasing understanding and satisfaction on our terms. The eye never has enough of seeing, the ear never enough of hearing—yet fulfillment slips away.

We’ve spent days exploring just a small portion of Ecclesiastes, and the message is clear. It’s time to move on.

If you truly want the truth about any matter, seek Him who is Truth—He who will never lie or deceive you.

Be ready, though. The bible is silent on many subjects.
