Chapter 12 - (King James Version)
1 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince
which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a
time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation even to
that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every
one that shall be found written in the book. 2 And many of
them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to
everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 And
they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and
they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book,
even to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge
shall be increased.
5 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two,
the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that
side of the bank of the river. 6 And one said to the man
clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, How long
shall it be to the end of these wonders?
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the
waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand
unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be
for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to
scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be
finished.
8 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my
Lord, what shall be the end of these things?
9 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed
up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but
the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand;
but the wise shall understand. 11 And from the time that
the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that
maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and
ninety days.
12 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand
three hundred and five and thirty days.
13 But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt
rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.

- Daniel Chapter 12 - (New International
Version)
1 "At that time Michael,
the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a
time of distress such as has not happened from the beginning of
nations until then. But at that time your people-everyone whose name
is found written in the book-will be delivered. 2
Multitudes who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake: some to
everlasting life, others to shame and everlasting contempt. 3
Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and
those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and
ever.
4 But you, Daniel, close
up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many
will go here and there to increase knowledge."
5 Then I, Daniel, looked,
and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river
and one on the opposite bank. 6 One of them said to the man
clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "How long
will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?"
7 The man clothed in
linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted 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, times and half a time.
When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these
things will be completed." 8 I heard, but I did not
understand. So I asked, "My lord, what will the outcome of all this
be?"
9 He replied, "Go your
way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time
of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and
refined, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked
will understand, but those who are wise will understand. 11
"From the time that the daily sacrifice is abolished and the
abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1,290
days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the
end of the 1,335 days.
13 "As for you, go your
way till the end. You will rest, and then at the end of the days you
will rise to receive your allotted inheritance." |
