Context of Daniel 12:11

9He said, “Go on your way, Daniel, for the words are secret and sealed until the time of the end. 10Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand. From the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12Happy is the one who waits for and reaches 1,335 days. 13But as for you, go on your way to the end; you will rest, and then you will rise to receive your allotted inheritance at the end of the days.”

• Barnes’ Notes on the Bible · v. 11And from the time - Though the angel had said Daniel 12:4, Daniel 12:9 that his communication was closed, and that he imparted all that he was commissioned to communicate to Daniel, yet, as it would seem, in reply to the earnest request of Daniel, he volunteers an additional statement, in regard to certain important periods that were to occur in the future.
