The Time of the End
1 “Now at that time Michael, the great prince who standsguardover 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 disgraceandeverlasting 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 longwill it beuntil the end ofthesewonders?”
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 halfatime;and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all theseeventswill be completed.
8 As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, whatwill bethe outcome of theseevents?”
9 He said, “Goyour way,Daniel, forthesewords 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 be1,290 days.
12 How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!
13 But as for you, goyour wayto the end; then you will enter into rest and riseagainfor your allotted portion at the end of the age.”
