Daniel 12

(Revelation 1:1–3)

1“At thatH1931 timeH6256 MichaelH4317, the greatH1419 princeH8269 who stands watchH5975 overH5921 your peopleH1121H5971, will rise upH5975. There will beH1961 a timeH6256 of distressH6869, the likes of whichH834 will not haveH3808 occurredH1961 from the beginningH1961 of nationsH1471 untilH5704 thatH1931 timeH6256. But at thatH1931 timeH6256 your peopleH5971—everyoneH3605 whose name is foundH4672 writtenH3789 in the bookH5612—will be deliveredH4422.

2And manyH7227 who sleepH3463 in the dustH6083 of the earthH127 will awakeH6974, someH428 to everlastingH5769 lifeH2416, but othersH428 to shameH2781 and everlastingH5769 contemptH1860.1 3Then the wiseH7919 will shineH2094 like the brightnessH2096 of the heavensH7549,2 and those who lead manyH7227 to righteousnessH6663 will shine like the starsH3556 foreverH5769 and everH5703.3

4But youH859, DanielH1841, shut upH5640 these wordsH1697 and sealH2856 the bookH5612 untilH5704 the timeH6256 of the endH7093. ManyH7227 will roam to and froH7751, and knowledgeH1847 will increaseH7235.”

5Then IH589, DanielH1841, lookedH7200 and sawH2009 twoH8147 othersH312 standingH5975 thereH2008, oneH259 on this bankH8193 of the riverH2975 and oneH259 on the oppositeH2008 bankH8193H2975. 6One of them saidH559 to the manH376 dressedH3847 in linenH906, whoH834 was aboveH4605 the watersH4325 of the riverH2975, “How longH4970 untilH5704 the fulfillmentH7093 of these wondersH6382?”

7And the manH376 dressedH3847 in linenH906, whoH834 was aboveH4605 the watersH4325 of the riverH2975, raisedH7311 his right handH3225 and his left handH8040 towardH413 heavenH8064, and I heardH8085 himH853 swearH7650 by Him who livesH2416 foreverH5769, sayingH3588, “It will be for a timeH4150, and timesH4150, and half a timeH2677. When the powerH3027 of the holyH6944 peopleH5971 has finally beenH3615 shatteredH5310, allH3605 these thingsH428 will be completedH3615.”

8IH589 heardH8085, but I did notH3808 understandH995. So I askedH559, “My lordH113, whatH4100 will be the outcomeH319 of theseH428 things?”

9“Go on your wayH1980, DanielH1841,” he repliedH559, “forH3588 the wordsH1697 are closed upH5640 and sealedH2856 untilH5704 the timeH6256 of the endH7093. 10ManyH7227 will be purifiedH1305, made spotlessH3835, and refinedH6884, but the wickedH7563 will continue to act wickedlyH7561. NoneH3808H3605 of the wickedH7563 will understandH995, but the wiseH7919 will understandH995.

11And from the timeH6256 the dailyH8548 sacrifice is abolishedH5493 and the abominationH8251 of desolationH8074 set upH5414, there will be 1,290H505H3967H8673 daysH3117. 12BlessedH835 is he who waitsH2442 and reaches the endH5060 of the 1,335H505H7969H3967H7970H2568 daysH3117.

13But as for youH859, go on your wayH1980 until the endH7093. You will restH5117, and then you will ariseH5975 to your inheritanceH1486 at the endH7093 of the daysH3117.”
