12:1  “At that time Michael, the great prince who protects your people, will stand up. There will be a time of much trouble, the worst time since nations have been on earth, but your people will be saved. Everyone whose name is written in God’s book will be saved.
12:2  Many people who have already died will live again. Some of them will wake up to have life forever, but some will wake up to find shame and disgrace forever.
12:3  The wise people will shine like the brightness of the sky. Those who teach others to live right will shine like stars forever and ever.
12:4  “But you, Daniel, close up the book and seal it. These things will happen at the time of the end. Many people will go here and there to find true knowledge.”
12:5  Then I, Daniel, looked, and saw two other men. One was standing on my side of the river, and the other was standing on the far side.
12:6  The man who was dressed in linen was standing over the water in the river. One of the two men spoke to him and asked, “How long will it be before these amazing things come true?”
12:7  The man dressed in linen, who stood over the water, raised his hands toward heaven. And I heard him swear by the name of God who lives forever, “It will be for three and one-half years. The power of the holy people will finally be broken, and then all these things will come true.”
12:8  I heard the answer, but I did not really understand, so I asked, “Master, what will happen after all these things come true?”
12:9  He answered, “Go your way, Daniel. The message is closed up and sealed until the time of the end.
12:10  Many people will be made clean, pure, and spotless, but the wicked will continue to be wicked. Those wicked people will not understand these things, but the wise will understand them.
12:11  “The daily sacrifice will be stopped. Then, after 1,290 days from that time, a blasphemous object that brings destruction will be set up.
12:12  Those who wait for the end of the 1,335 days will be happy.
12:13  “As for you, Daniel, go your way until the end. You will get your rest, and at the end you will rise to receive your reward.”
