Daniel 12:5

“Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, etc.] Other two angels, besides the man clothed with linen, (<271206>Daniel 12:6) or rather besides the angel who had given Daniel the long account of things that were to come to pass, in the preceding chapter, and the beginning of this; whom Daniel, being attentive to that account, had not observed before; but now, that being finished, he looks about him, and takes notice of those other two who were standing, being ministering spirits to Christ, and ready to execute his orders: the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river; Hiddekel or Tigris, as appears from (<271004>Daniel 10:4).…”

“A vision of two other angels, one on one side of the Hiddekel or Tigris, the other on the other side, implying that on all sides angels attend to execute God's commands. The angel addressing Daniel had been over the river "from above" (Dan 12:6, Margin).”

“Then I Daniel looked - My attention was attracted in a new direction. Hitherto, it would seem, it had been fixed on the angel, and on what he was saying. The angel now informed him that he had closed his communication, and Daniel was now attracted by a new heavenly vision. And, behold, there stood other two - Two other angels.

The river referred to here is the Hiddekel or Tigris, the notes at Daniel 10:4. These angels stood on each side of…”

“Other two - Two angels waiting on Christ. Daniel 12:6”

“12:5 The river was the Tigris River (10:4). • The two others witnessed to God’s promises (see Num 35:30; Deut 19:15).”

“other two: Dan 10:5, Dan 10:6, Dan 10:10, Dan 10:16 bank: Heb. lip of the river: Dan 10:4 Daniel 12:6”

“With Dan 12:4 the revelation might have concluded, as that in Daniel ends with the direction to shut up the vision. But then a disclosure regarding the times of the events prophesied of, which Daniel might have expected according to the analogy of the visions in Daniel 8 and 9, would have been wanting. This disclosure is given to him in Dan 12:5-12, and that in a very solemn, impressive way. The appearance which hitherto he has seen is changed. He sees two other angels standing on the banks of the river, the one on this side and the other on that side. והנּה ... וראיתי (then I looked, and lo) does not, it is true, indicate a new vision so much as a new scene in the vision, which still…”
