Commentary— Tyndale Open Study Notes (plain English)
12:8-10 God withheld exactly how and when all this would finally end. Daniel would not see the end (12:13); his job was to finish out his life in faith. • purified, cleansed, and refined: God would use violent and terrifying times to improve the moral and religious character of his people (cp. 11:35). • Being wise includes having insight into God’s ways and walking accordingly. The wicked will not understand or change their wickedness even if the vision is explained to them.
