Daniel 12
1 And at that
time shall
Michael stand
up, the
great prince which
standeth for the
children of thy
people: and there shall
be a
time of
trouble, such as never was since there was a
nation even to that same
time: and at that
time thy
people shall be
delivered, every one that shall be
found written in the
book. 2 And
many of them that
sleep in the
dust of the
earth shall
awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to
shame and
everlasting contempt. 3 And they that be
wise shall
shine as the
brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn
many to
righteousness as the
stars for
ever and
ever. 4 But thou, O
Daniel, shut
up the
words, and
seal the
book, even to the
time of the
end: many shall run to and
fro, and
knowledge shall be
increased.
5 Then I
Daniel looked, and, behold, there
stood other two, the
one on this
side of the
bank of the
river, and the
other on that side of the
bank of the
river. 6 And one
said to the
man clothed in
linen, which was
upon the
waters of the
river, How long shall it be to the
end of these
wonders? 7 And I
heard the
man clothed in
linen, which was
upon the
waters of the
river, when he held
up his right
hand and his left
hand unto
heaven, and
sware by him that
liveth for
ever that it shall be for a
time, times, and an
half; and when he shall have
accomplished to
scatter the
power of the
holy people, all these things shall be
finished.
8 And I
heard, but I
understood not: then
said I, O my
Lord, what shall be the
end of these things?
9 And he
said, Go thy
way,
Daniel: for the
words are closed
up and
sealed till the
time of the
end. 10 Many shall be
purified, and made
white, and
tried; but the
wicked shall do
wickedly: and none of the
wicked shall
understand; but the
wise shall
understand.
11 And from the
time that the
daily sacrifice shall be taken
away, and the
abomination that maketh
desolate set
up, there shall be a
thousand two
hundred and
ninety days. 12 Blessed is he that
waiteth, and
cometh to the
thousand three hundred and
five and
thirty days. 13 But go thou thy
way till the
end be: for thou shalt
rest, and
stand in thy
lot at the
end of the
days.
