Garry:  You asked about the question being asked in Daniel 12:6-7.  The answer given was "a time, times and half a time".

 

The answer has its counterpart in Revelation 12:6, Matthew 24:21; Isaiah 62:2c.  It refers to "great tribulation", the time of Jacob's trouble (Jeremiah 30:7, Daniel 12:1; Psalm 20), the second half of Daniel's 70th week (Daniel 9:27)

 

I wonder about "these wonders".  What are they?  Are they (1) Michael and the angelic host standing up for the Jew in tribulation, (2) the deliverance and salvation of the "people of the book" (the seed of Jacob); (3) resurrection of righteousness referred to in verse 3?  There appear to be two resurrections referenced here in verse 2 and 3, resurrection of damnation and resurrection of righteousness.  Then, there is the question of "shutting up" and "sealing of the book".  Perhaps we just see dimly now, but later will know when He appears to us.
