Context of Daniel 12:11

9He replied, “Go, Daniel. These words are to be kept secret and sealed until the end times. 10Many will be purified, made white, and refined. But wicked people will do wicked things, and none of them will understand. Only wise people will understand. From the time the daily burnt offering is taken away and the disgusting thing that causes destruction is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 12Blessed are those who wait until they reach 1,335 days. 13But go on until the end. You will rest, and you will rise for your inheritance at the end of time.”

• 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.
