Daniel 12New King James Version
Prophecy of the End Time
12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who standswatchover the sons of your people;
(A)And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Evento that time.
And at that time your people(B)shall be delivered,
Every one who is found(C)written in the book.
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
(D)Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame(E)andeverlasting[a]contempt.
3 Those who are wise shall(F)shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
(G)And those who turn many to righteousness
(H)Like the stars forever and ever.
4 “But you, Daniel,(I)shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall(J)run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that(K)riverbank.6 Andonesaid to the man clothed in(L)linen, whowasabove the waters of the river,(M)“How long shall the fulfillment of these wondersbe?”
7 Then I heard the man clothed in linen, whowasabove the waters of the river, when he(N)held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him(O)who lives forever,(P)thatit shall befor a time, times, and halfa time;(Q)and when the power of(R)the holy people has been completely shattered, all thesethingsshall be finished.
8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, whatshall bethe end of thesethings?”
9 And he said, “Goyour way,Daniel, for the wordsareclosed up and sealed till the time of the end.10 (S)Many shall be purified, made white, and refined,(T)but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but(U)the wise shall understand.
11 “And from the timethatthe dailysacrificeis taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up,there shall beone thousand two hundred and ninety days.12 Blessedishe who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.
13 “But you, goyour waytill the end;(V)for you shall rest,(W)and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”
