Daniel 12

The Time of the End

1 "At that time shall arise *See ch. 10:13Michael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And *Jer. 30:7;Matt. 24:21;Mark 13:19;[Rev. 16:18] 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, *Ex. 32:32,33;[Ezek. 13:9;Luke 10:20;Rev. 20:12]everyone whose name shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of those who *[Ps. 17:15;John 11:11] sleep in *[Isa. 26:19]; See Ezek. 37:1-10the dust of the earth shall *[Isa. 26:19]; See Ezek. 37:1-10awake, *Matt. 25:46;John 5:28,29;Acts 24:15;Rev. 20:12,13some to everlasting life, and *Matt. 25:46;John 5:28,29;Acts 24:15;Rev. 20:12,13some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 *ch. 11:33And those who are wise *Matt. 13:43shall shine like the brightness of the sky above;*12:3 Hebrew the expanse; compare Genesis 1:6–8 and *[Mal. 2:6]those who turn many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, *[ver. 9; ch. 8:26] shut up the words and *Isa. 8:16;29:11;Rev. 5:1;10:4;22:10seal the book, until *[ver. 13]; See ch. 8:17the time of the end. *Amos 8:12Many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others stood, one on *[ch. 10:4]this bank of the stream and one on that bank of the stream. 6 And someone said to *ch. 10:5;Ezek. 9:2the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream,*12:6 Or who was upstream; also verse 7*ch. 8:13"How long shall it be till the end of these wonders?" 7 And I heard *[See ver. 6above] the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; *See Gen. 14:22he raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and *[Rev. 10:6] swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a *ch. 7:25time, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of *[ch. 8:24]the power of *[ch. 8:24]the holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished. 8 I heard, *[ch. 8:15]but I did not understand. Then I said, "O my lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?" 9 He said, *ver. 13"Go your way, Daniel, *[ver. 4]for the words are shut up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 *[ch. 11:35] Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be refined, but *[Rev. 9:20;22:11] the wicked shall act wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, *[See ver. 3above]but those who are wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that *ch. 11:31the regular burnt offering is taken away and *See ch. 11:31the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days. 12 *[Matt. 10:22]Blessed is he who waits and arrives at the 1,335 days. 13 *ver. 9But go your way till the end. *Isa. 57:2;[Rev. 6:11] And you shall rest and shall stand in your allotted place at *[Matt. 13:39]the end of the days."
