The Time of the End

Dan 12:1“Now at that time Michael, the great prince who stands guard over the sons 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; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the book, will be rescued.
Dan 12:2“Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, these to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting [fn]contempt.
Dan 12:3[fn]Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the [fn]expanse of heaven, and those who lead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever.
Dan 12:4“But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the book until the end of time; many will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase.”
Dan 12:5Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river.
Dan 12:6And 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?”
Dan 12:7I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, [fn]as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a [fn]time, [fn]times, and half a [fn]time; and as soon as [fn]they finish shattering the [fn]power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.
Dan 12:8As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the [fn]outcome of these events?
Dan 12:9He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.

Dan 12:12“How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!
Dan 12:13“But as for you, go your way to the [fn]end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the [fn]age.”
