Daniel 12

¹At that time shall arise Michael , the great prince who has charge of your people . And there shall be a time of trouble , such as never has been since there was a nation till that time . But at that time your people shall be delivered , everyone whose name shall be found written in the book .

²And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake , some to everlasting life , some to shame and everlasting contempt .

³And those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky above; and those who turn many to righteousness , like the stars forever and ever .

⁴But you , Daniel , shut up the words and seal the book , until the time of the end . Many shall run to and fro , and knowledge shall increase .

⁵Then I , Daniel , looked , and behold , two others stood , one on this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream .

⁶And someone said to the man clothed in linen , who was above the waters of the stream , How long shall it be till the end of these wonders ?

⁷And I heard the man clothed in linen , who was above the waters of the stream ; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be time , times , and half a time, and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished .

⁸I heard , but I did not understand . Then I said , O my lord , what shall be the outcome of these things?

⁹He said , Go your way , Daniel , for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end .

¹⁰Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined , but the wicked shall act wickedly . And none of the wicked shall understand , but those who are wise shall understand .

¹¹And from the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up , there shall be 1,290 days .

¹²Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days .

¹³But go your way till the end . And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at the end of the days .
