The Time of the End

¹ "Now at that time ^(C1)Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons of your people, will arise. And there will be a ^(C2)time of distress ^(C3)such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the ^(C4)book, will be rescued.² "And ^(C1)many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, ^(C2)these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting ^(F1)contempt.³ "And ^(F1)those who have ^(C1)insight will ^(C2)shine like the glow of the ^(F2)expanse of heaven, and those who ^(F3)(C3)lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.⁴ "But as for you, Daniel, ^(C1)keep these words secret and ^(C2)seal up the book until the ^(C3)end of time; ^(C4)many will roam about, and knowledge will increase."

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the stream and the other on that bank of the stream.⁶ And ^(C1)someone said to the man ^(C2)dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, "^(C3)How long will it be until the end of these wonders?"⁷ And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream, ^(F1)as he ^(C1)raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by ^(C2)Him who lives forever that it would be for a ^(F2)(C3)time, ^(F2)times, and half a ^(F2)time; and as soon as ^(F3)they finish ^(C4)smashing the ^(F4)power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.⁸ But as for me, I heard but did not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the ^(F1)outcome of these events?"⁹ And he said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words will be kept secret and ^(C1)sealed up until the end time.¹⁰ "^(C1)Many will be purged, ^(F1)cleansed, and refined, but the ^(C2)wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but ^(F2)those who ^(C3)have insight will understand.¹¹ "And from the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the ^(C1)abomination ^(F1)of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.¹² "^(C1)Blessed is the one who is patient and attains to the ^(C2)1,335 days!¹³ "But as for you, go your way to the ^(F1)end; then you will ^(C1)rest and ^(F2)rise for your ^(C2)allotted portion at the end of the ^(F3)age."
