bodies lie dead and buried will rise up, some to everlasting life and some to
shame and everlasting disgrace. Those who are wise will shine as bright as
the sky, and those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars
forever. But you, Daniel, keep this prophecy a secret; seal up the book until
the time of the end, when many will rush here and there, and knowledge
will increase.”
Then I, Daniel, looked and saw two others standing on opposite banks
of the river. One of them asked the man dressed in linen, who was now
standing above the river, “How long will it be until these shocking events
are over?”
The man dressed in linen, who was standing above the river, raised both
his hands toward heaven and took a solemn oath by the One who lives
forever, saying, “It will go on for a time, times, and half a time. When the
shattering of the holy people has finally come to an end, all these things
will have happened.”
I heard what he said, but I did not understand what he meant. So I asked,
“How will all this finally end, my lord?”
But he said, “Go now, Daniel, for what I have said is kept secret and
sealed until the time of the end. Many will be purified, cleansed, and refined by these trials. But the wicked will continue in their wickedness, and
none of them will understand. Only those who are wise will know what
it means.
“From the time the daily sacrifice is stopped and the sacrilegious object
that causes desecration is set up to be worshiped, there will be 1,290 days.
And blessed are those who wait and remain until the end of the 1,335 days!
“As for you, go your way until the end. You will rest, and then at the end
of the days, you will rise again to receive the inheritance set aside for you.”
