Daniel 12:4-9

4But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge will increase.”

5Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing on opposite banks of the river.

6One of them asked the man dressed in linen, who was now standing above the river, “How long will it be until these shocking events are over?”

7The man dressed in linen, who was standing above the river, raised both his hands toward heaven and took a solemn oath by the One who lives forever, saying, “It will go on for a time, times, and half a time. When the shattering of the holy people has finally come to an end, all these things will have happened.”

8I heard what he said, but I did not understand what he meant. So I asked, “How will all this finally end, my lord?”

9But he said, “Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is kept secret and sealed until the time of the end.
