Daniel 12 - Amplified Bible(AMP)

The Time of the End

1“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the children of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; but at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the Book, will be rescued.

2Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake (resurrect), these to everlasting life, but some to disgrace and everlasting contempt (abhorrence).

3Those who are wise will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.

4But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the scroll until the end of time. Many will go back and forth and search anxiously, and knowledge will increase.”

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

6And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”

7And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he held up his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and a half a time (three and a half years); and as soon as they finish shattering and crushing the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.

8As for me, I heard, but I did not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?”

9And the angel said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are concealed and sealed up until the end of time.

10Many will be purged, purified (made white) and refined, but the wicked will behave wickedly. None of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise will understand.

11From the time that the regular sacrifice is taken away and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.

12How blessed and beloved is he who waits expectantly and comes to the 1,335 days!

13But as for you (Daniel), go your way until the end; for you will rest and rise again for your allotted inheritance at the end of the age.”
