Daniel 12:7

5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that ^ariverbank.

6 And one said to the man clothed in ^alinen, who was above the waters of the river, ^b“How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?”

7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he ^aheld up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him ^bwho lives forever, ^cthat it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; ^dand when the power of ^ethe holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?”

9 And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

Daniel 12:7

Which was upon the waters - By this description, he was standing on the water. This is very similar to the description of the angel, Revelation 10:5, Revelation 10:6, and in the seventh verse there seems to be a reference to this prophecy "a time, times, and a half." See the note on Daniel 7:25 (note).
