Revealing the secret concealed and sealed up words of Daniel 12:9 "Go your way, Daniel, these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.

Revealing the secret concealed and sealed up words of Daniel 12:9

In Daniel chapter 12, The Lord reveals some of the details of the last 3 ½ years of end times tribulation. But when Daniel asks about what the final ending of these events are, The Lord says this information is “concealed”, not to be revealed until the end times. Note, it does not say the details are not included, but that they are concealed as in kept out of view or like carrying a concealed weapon.

Definition of concealed
 kept out of sight or hidden from view,
IE  carrying a concealed weapon

“concealed,” Merriam-Webster.com Dictionary, https://www.merriam-webster.com/dictionary/concealed. Accessed 7/9/2021.

The text in Daniel 12:9 suggests the answer to Daniel’s question is simply hidden from view until the time comes to reveal it later. I suspect that at least some of the answer Daniel was seeking is contained in the Holy Bible’s other 12:9 verses. See my other blog posts (http://amazingword.blogspot.com/) for more information about the common themes found in Like Referenced Verses. In short, every set of verses in scripture, with the same chapter and verse number, contain a common theme that helps interpret deeper meanings in the text. The common theme in the 12:9 verses appear to be about the second half of the seven-year tribulation events.


Examine the text of Daniel chapter 12 below while considering these points:

  •  In Dan 12:8 Daniel asks "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?"
  •  Notice the yellow highlighted text below contains the word conceal – Interesting.
  •  In Dan 12:9 The Lord responds “these words are concealed until the end time” (days we are living in?)
  • If you look at the like-referenced 12:9 verses of the Bible consider if you think their theme is related to the theme of Dan 12:9?
  • At the bottom of this article is an example of HYPER LIKE-REFERENCED verses showing how chapter and verse relate to verse text in the Bible’s 14:14 verses.

The Bible's 13:3 verses have a theme of "Spiritual Power" running through them.

The Bible's 13:3 verses have a theme of "Spiritual Power" running through them.

Why study like referenced verse themes? They are amazing evidence for a supernatural author of the Bible - God, and they aid interpretation by guiding our understanding of common themes in them.


There are 32 verses of the Bible that have a chapter and verse reference of 13:3, and like all verses with the same reference number, there is some aspect of a common theme running through all of them. As students of God's word it is a fascinating puzzle to us to study and ponder them to reveal the themes and use them to help us better understand the messages they contain.

To help show how to identify common themes in like referenced verses, notice how we can dissect the list of verses to find common aspects to them. In the below 13:3 verses, notice how the following types of things are mentioned in them. Together, they help us identify a similar theme related to spiritual power or presence:


  • evil or sin
  • aspects of spiritual power versus fleshly power
  • mentions of false prophets
  • things spiritually spoken by God/LORD or evil
  • spiritual presence that dissipates away - things that smoke, or cloud or smoked, kindled
  • mysteries or things that are hidden
  • words of anger from the Lord
  • aspects of those testing or judging the LORD



The 13:3 like referenced verses...

Revelation 13:3 speaks of the false prophet with a healed fatal head wound. Notice how other 13:3 verses speak of spiritual power, good or bad. IE false prophets...
Rev 13:3 I saw one of his heads as if it had been slain, and his fatal wound was healed. And the whole earth was amazed and followed after the beast;
  • Eze 13:3 '.."Woe to foolish prophets following their own spirit and have seen nothing.
  • Deu 13:3 you shall not listen to the words of that prophet or that dreamer of dreams; ..
  • Zech 13:3 "..if anyone still prophesies..You shall not live, for you have spoken falsely in the name of the LORD'..
  • Lev 13:3 ..it is an infection of leprosy;.. he shall pronounce him unclean.
  • Hos 13:3 ..they will be like..chaff which is blown away..And like smoke from a chimney.

  • Judg 13:3 the angel of the LORD appeared..and said.."Behold now, you are barren and have borne no children..
  • Isa 13:3 ..I have even called My mighty warriors..To execute My anger.
  • 2Kin 13:3 So the anger of the LORD was kindled against Israel,
  • Prov 13:3 ..The one who opens wide his lips comes to ruin.
  • 2Sam 13:3 But Amnon had a friend..and Jonadab was a very shrewd man.
  • Rom 13:3 For rulers are not a cause of fear for good behavior, but for evil (evil rulers)...
The theme running through these verses unique to the Bible's 13:3 verses. If you examine other sets of like referenced verses, you will not find the preponderance of evidence pointing specifically to the messages they contain

God is amazing and his word has patterns of perfection everywhere you look.
