Daniel 12

1 “And at that time Michael stands up, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of your people, and there has been a time of distress, such as has not been since there has been a nation until that time, and at that time your people escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.

And at that time shall Michael arise, the great prince that standeth up for the sons of thy 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 shall thy people be delivered, every one that is found written in the book.

2 And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground awake, some to continuous life, and some to reproaches—to continuous abhorrence.

And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame, to everlasting contempt.

3 And those teaching shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars for all time and forever.”

And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn the many to righteousness, as the stars for ever and ever.

4 “And you, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the scroll until the time of the end, many go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.”

But thou, Daniel, shut up these words, and seal this book even to the time of the end. Many shall run eagerly through it, and much knowledge shall be gained.

5 “And I have looked—I, Daniel—and behold, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood and one there at the edge of the flood,

And I Daniel looked, and behold, two others stood there, one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

6 and he says to the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, Until when [is] the end of these wonders?

And one of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

7 And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, and he lifts up his right hand and his left to the heavens, and swears by Him who is living for all time, that, After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, all these are finished.

And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was upon the waters of the river, and he lifted up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him that liveth forever, that in a time, times, and a half, even when the dispersion of a portion of the holy people should be at an end, all these things should be fulfilled.

8 And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?

And I heard but understood not; and I said, My lord, what is the latter end of these things?

9 And he says, Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things until the time of the end.

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Purify themselves, indeed, make themselves white, indeed, many are refined: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely understand;

Many shall be cleansed, and made white, and purified, and the wicked will do wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.

11 and from the time of the turning aside of the continuous [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] one thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.

And from the time when the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination of the destroyer set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

12 O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and comes to the one thousand, three hundred, thirty-five days.

Happy is he that waiteth and cometh to a thousand three hundred and thirty-five days!

13 And you, go on to the end, then you rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.”

But go thou thy way even to the end; for thou shalt rest, and rise up to thy lot at the end of the days.
