Daniel - Chapter 12
AND
at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince which standeth
for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as
never was since there was a nation even to that same time: and at that
time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in
the book.
2 And
many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt.
3 And
they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and
ever.
4 But
thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to the time
of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5 Then I
Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the
bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6 And one
said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the
river, How long shall it be to the end of these
wonders?
7 And I
heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river,
when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever
that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have
accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things
shall be finished.
8 And I
heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the
end of these things?
9 And he said,
Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up
and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many
shall be purified, and made white, and tried; 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 shall be taken away, and
the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there
shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12 Blessed
is he that waiteth,
and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But
go thou thy way till the end be: for
thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of
the days.
