Daniel 12:5-13

5Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river.

6And 1one said to the man 2dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “3How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”

7I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, 4as he 5raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by 6Him who lives forever that it would be for a 78time, 9times, and half a 10time; and as soon as 11they finish 12shattering the 13power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.

8As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the 14outcome of these events?”

9He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and 15sealed up until the end time.

1016Many will be purged, 17purified and refined, but the 18wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but 19those who 20have insight will understand.

11From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the 2122abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

12How 23blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 241,335 days!

13But as for you, go your way to the 25end; then you will enter into 26rest and rise again for your 27allotted portion at the end of the 28age.”
