Daniel 12
Chapter 12
The Time of the End
1 “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the
sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such
as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time
your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.
2 “Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these
to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.
3 “Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness
of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like
the stars forever and ever.
4 “But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book
until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank
of the river and the other on that bank of the river.
6 And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the
river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”
7 I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as
he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who
lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and
as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these
events will be completed.
8 As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what
will be the outcome of these events?”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed
up until the end time.
10 “Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will
act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have
insight will understand.
11 “From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination
of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
12 “How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!
13 “But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into
rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age.”
