Daniel

12

1AND at that time will Michael arise, the great angel who has charge over your people; and there will be a time of trouble such as never has been like it since the beginning of the world; and at that very time some of your people will be delivered, everyone whose name will be found written in the book. 2And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3And those who have done good and the men of understanding will shine as the brightness of the firmament; and those who have turned many to righteousness will shine and stand like stars forever and ever. 4But you, oh Daniel, seal these words and be silent, and seal this book even to the time of the end; many will want to know the end, and knowledge will be increased.

5Then I, Daniel, looked, and saw 2 other angels stood one on this side of the bank of the river and the other on that side. 6And they said to the man clothed in costly array who stood above the waters of the river, How long will it be until the end of these things? 7And I heard the man clothed in costly array who stood above the waters of the river. He held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him who lives forever that it will be for a time, times, and 1/2 a time; and when holy people are delivered, all these things will be fulfilled. 8And I, Daniel, heard something, but I did not understand; then I said, Oh my lord, what will come after these things? 9And he said, Go your way, Daniel; for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. 10Many will be chosen and made white and tried; but the sinners will continue to sin; and none of the wicked will understand; but those who have done good works will understand. 11And from the time that the daily sacrifice will be abolished, and the abomination is given to destruction, there will be 1,290 days. 12Blessed is he who waits and reaches to the 1,335 days. 13But as for you, oh Daniel, go your way and rest until the end; then you will arise at your appointed time, at the end of the days.
