Daniel
Chapter Twelve
1 ¶ "At that
time Michael shall stand up, The great prince who stands watch over the sons
of your people; And there shall be a time of trouble, Such as never was since
there was a nation, Even to that time. And at that time your people shall be
delivered, Every one who is found written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, Some to
everlasting life, Some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall shine Like the brightness of the firmament, And those
who turn many to righteousness Like the stars forever and ever.
4 "But 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."
5 ¶ Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank
and the other on that riverbank.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the
river, "How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?"
7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river,
when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him
who lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; and
when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things
shall be finished.
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what shall
be the end of these things?"
9 And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed
till the time of the end.
10 "Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall
do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.
11 "And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination
of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety
days.
12 "Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred
and thirty-five days.
13 "But you, go your way till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise
to your inheritance at the end of the days."
