12:1  "Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise And there will come a time of distress such as never occurred since a nation existed until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who finds his name written in the book, will find rescue.

12:2  " Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt.

12:3  "Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

12:4  "But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."

12:5  Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others stood, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river.

12:6  And one said to the man dressed in linen, who appeared above the waters of the river, " How long will it take until the end of these wonders?"

12:7  I heard the man dressed in linen, who appeared above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would occur for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will come to a completion.

12:8  As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, how will these events come out?"

12:9  He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words I will conceal and seal up until the end time.

12:10  " Many will become purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.

12:11  "From the time that the regular sacrifice will become abolished and the abomination of desolation will become set up, there will add up to 1,290 days.

12:12  "How blessed will we consider him who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!

12:13  "But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age."
