Daniel 12:4-13

4But as for you, Daniel, 1keep these words secret and 2seal up the book until the 3end of time; 4many will roam about, and knowledge will increase.”

5Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the stream and the other on that bank of the stream. 6And 5someone said to the man 6dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, “7How long will it be until the end of these wonders?” 7And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, 8as he 9raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by 10Him who lives forever that it would be for a 1112time, 13times, and half a 14time; and as soon as 15they finish 16smashing the 17power of the holy people, all these events will be completed. 8But as for me, I heard but did not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the 18outcome of these events?” 9And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words will be kept secret and 19sealed up until the end time. 1020Many will be purged, 21cleansed, and refined, but the 22wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but 23those who 24have insight will understand. 11And from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the 25abomination 26of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days. 1227Blessed is the one who is patient and attains to the 281,335 days! 13But as for you, go your way to the 29end; then you will 30rest and 31rise for your 32allotted portion at the end of the 33age.”
