121 "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 . 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 contempt . 3 "Those who have insight will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven , and those who lead the many to righteousness , like the stars forever and ever . 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 ."
5 Then 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 . 6 And one said to the man dressed in linen , who was above e the waters of the river , " How long e will it be until the end of these wonders ?" 7 I heard the man dressed in linen , who was above e the waters of the river , as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven , and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time , times , and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people , all these events will be completed . 8 As for me, I heard but could not understand ; so I said , "My lord , what will be the outcome of these events?" 9 He said , "Go your way, Daniel , for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time . 10 " Many will be purged , purified and refined , but the wicked will act wickedly ; and none e of the wicked will understand , but those who have insight will understand . 11 "From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 e e days . 12 "How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 e e e e days ! 13 "But as for you, go your way to the end ; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age ."
