I spent about 13 minutes reading this passage. The message of Daniel's vision is confusing and troubling. Yet what God passes on in 12:113 are the words of greatest importance: be faithful, without concern, and trust in God. There is a reward in store for those who live that way before God. Until God opens our hearts to the meaning of this revelation/riddle we must trust him to be in control of our lives and the future of humanity. Are all of the event Daniel heard about in our past? I don't know. What I do know, by faith, is that the God who revealed these things to Daniel sent his one and only Son to die for the sins of mankind. He is just as trustworthy as he is gracious and forgiving. That is where we need to place our hope.
