Portions 12
1 “At that time Michael will stand up, the
great prince who stands for the children of
your people. There will be a time of trouble,
such as never was since there was a
nationevento that same time. Atthattime,
your people will be delivered—everyone
who is found written in the book.
2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of
the earth will awake, some to everlasting
life, and some to shame and everlasting
contempt.
3 Those who are wise will shine as the
brightness of the expanse. Those who turn
many to righteousness will shine like the
stars forever and ever.
4 But you, Daniel, shut up the words
and seal the book, even to the time of the
end. Many will run back and forth, and
knowledge will be increased.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two
others stood, one on the river bank on this
side, and the other on the river bank on
that side.
6 One said to the man clothed in linen,
who was above the waters of the river,
“How long will it be to the end of these
wonders?”
7 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 will be for a time, times,
and a half; and when they have finished
breaking in pieces the power of the holy
people, all these things will be finished.
8 I heard, but I didn’t understand. Then I
said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of
these things?”
9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel; for the
words are shutup and sealeduntilthe time
of the end.
10 Many will purify themselves, make
themselves white, and be refined; but the
wicked will do wickedly. None of the
wicked will understand; but those who are
wise will understand.
11 “From the time that the continual
burnt offering is taken away and the
abomination that makes desolate set up,
there will be one thousand two hundred
ninety days.
12 Blessed is he who waits and comes
to the one thousand three hundred thirtyfive days.
13 “But go your way until the end; for you
will rest and will stand in your inheritance
at the end of the days.”
