"Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?(Dan.12:5-8)
Linen in the lexicon of the Spirit indicates the Son of man and here it refers to the church that had no righteousness of its own to speak of but it was allowed on account of the work of faith. 'for the fine linen is the righteousness of saints. The angel who marks those who were to be preserved is similar to those on whose foreheads the name of the Father shall be written."Then I looked, and there before me was the Lamb,standing on Mount Zion,and with him 144,000who had his name and his Father's namewritten on their foreheads(Re.14:1)".
He cried also in mine ears with a loud voice, saying, Cause them that have charge over the city to draw near, even every man with his destroying weapon in his hand.
2And, behold, six men came from the way of the higher gate, which lieth toward the north, and every man a slaughter weapon in his hand; and one man among them was clothed with linen, with a writer's inkhorn by his side: and they went in, and stood beside the brasen altar.
"The higher gate on the north side"(v.2) refers to judgment and north here is not to be confused with cardinal direction as we use in normal sense.
