The End Times

¹“At that time Michael, the great prince who stands watch over your people, will rise up. There will be a time of distress, the likes of which will not have occurred from the beginning of nations until that time. But at that time your people — everyone whose name is found written in the book — will be delivered.+ ²And many who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, but others to shame and everlasting contempt.+ ³Then the wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and ever.+ ⁴But you, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will roam to and fro, and knowledge will increase.”+ ⁵Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.+ ⁶One of them said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the fulfillment of these wonders?”+ ⁷And the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by Him who lives forever, saying, “It will be for a time, and times, and half a time. When the power of the holy people has finally been shattered, all these things will be completed.”+ ⁸I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”+ ⁹“Go on your way, Daniel,” he replied, “for the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end.+ ¹⁰Many will be purified, made spotless, and refined, but the wicked will continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand.+ ¹¹And from the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation set up, there will be 1,290 days.+ ¹²Blessed is he who waits and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.+ ¹³But as for you, go on your way until the end. You will rest, and then you will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”+
