The time of trouble

And at that time Michael will stand up, the great prince who stands guard over the children of your people. And there will be a time of trouble such as there has never been since there was a nation, right up to that time. And at that time your people will be delivered — everyone found written in the book. And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth will awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky, and those who turn many to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book until the time of the end. Many will run to and fro, and knowledge will increase. Then I, Daniel, looked, and there stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on that. And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long until the end of these wonders? I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times and half a time. And when he has accomplished scattering the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished. And I heard, but I didn't understand. Then I said, My lord, what will the end of these things be? And he said, Go your way, Daniel. Because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified and made white and tried. But the wicked will go on doing wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand. But the wise will understand. And from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and the disgusting thing that brings desolation is set up, there will be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Blessed is the one who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. But go your way till the end. Because you will rest, and you will stand in your allotted place at the end of the days.

And at that time Michael will stand up, the great ruler who stands for the children of your people. And there'll be a time of trouble like there's never been since there was a nation, right to that time. And at that time your people will be rescued, everyone found written in the book. And plenty of the ones who sleep in the dust of the earth will wake up — some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. And the ones who are wise will shine like the brightness of the sky, and the ones who turn plenty to righteousness like the stars forever and ever. But you, Daniel, shut the words up and seal the book right to the time of the end. Plenty will run to and fro, and knowledge will grow. Then I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing, one on this side of the bank of the river and the other on that side of the bank of the river. And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was up above the waters of the river: How long till the end of these wonders? And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was up above the waters of the river, when he lifted his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by the one who lives forever — that it'll be for a time, times and half a time. And when he's finished scattering the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished. And I heard, and I didn't understand. Then I said: My lord, how will these things end? And he said: Go your way, Daniel, because the words are shut up and sealed right to the time of the end. Plenty will be cleaned and made white and tested. But the wicked will do wickedly, and none of the wicked will understand. But the wise will understand. And from the time the daily sacrifice is taken away and the disgusting thing that wrecks is set up, there'll be a thousand two hundred and ninety days. Happy is the one who waits and comes to the thousand three hundred and thirty-five days. But you, go your way till the end. Because you'll rest and stand up in your lot at the end of the days.

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. 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. 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. 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. 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. 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? 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. And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things? And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 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. 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. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. But go thou thy way till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
