Dear Sister Kathi, I'll just leave this excerpt from the study of Daniel I transcribed from CD's that my friend Gene Hawkins presented.
Daniel 12:4. "But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased." Now He is telling Daniel that he might as well seal this up because this is not going to happen for awhile, and so if you return to Daniel's day Christ will not even come for another four hundred years, and then you have this Church Age of two thousand plus years. So Daniel, this is not going to be fulfilled for a good while yet and so seal up the book even to the time of the end. Have you heard those that proclaim that the books of Daniel and Revelation are sealed books and point to "Shut up the words, and seal the book" and say, you see right there? Well no they're not to be sealed at this time because He says seal the book when? Till the time of the end and we are at the time of the end and have been in these last days for a good while, and so many have been able to understand these wonderful things that we read here in Daniel and Revelation down through this Church Age. Then we read "Many shall run to and fro" and this means many of these wise ones of Daniel 12:3 are going to run to and fro hungering after righteousness. It's not wandering or running to and fro as if they have no direction, they are actually hungering and thirsting after this knowledge that has been imparted to Daniel indeed, and other parts of the scripture and the results of that is that knowledge increases.
I don't think it has to do with worldly knowledge but with spiritual knowledge.
When Jesus said these words below, He unsealed the book (figuratively) and many search the book of Daniel to try to understand it and put it together with what Jesus had been saying to them.
Mar 13:14 But when ye shall see the abomination of desolation, spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing where it ought not, (let him that readeth understand,) then let them that be in Judaea flee to the mountains:
