Unsealing Daniel

Daniel was commanded to “seal the scroll,” but John was commanded NOT to seal the scroll - “for the season is at hand.” At the close of his visions, the angel commanded Daniel “ to close the words and seal the book until the season of the end .” However, in Revelation , the “ scroll ” is unsealed and opened to reveal its contents. Daniel was told to “ seal the scroll ,” but John was commanded NOT to do so. The verbal parallels are quite deliberate - [ Open Bible photo by Ben White on Unsplash ].
