# Daniel 12 (New King James Version)
Prophecy of the End Time

##### Chapter 12
###### 1 "At that time Michael shall stand up,  
The great prince who stands _watch_ over the sons of your people;  
And there shall be a time of trouble,  
Such as never was since there was a nation,  
_Even_ to that time.  
And at that time your people shall be delivered,  
Every one who is found written in the book.  

###### 2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,  
Some to everlasting life,  
Some to shame _and_ everlasting contempt.  

###### 3 Those who are wise shall shine  
Like the brightness of the firmament,  
And those who turn many to righteousness  
Like the stars forever and ever.

###### 4 "But you, Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase."

###### 5 Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that riverbank.  
###### 6 And _one_ said to the man clothed in linen, who _was_ above the waters of the river, "How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders _be?_"

###### 7 Then 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 shall be_ for a time, times, and half _a time;_ and when the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, all these _things_ shall be finished.

###### 8 Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, "My lord, what _shall be_ the end of these _things?_"

###### 9 And he said, "Go _your way,_ Daniel, for the words _are_ closed up and sealed till the time of the end.  
###### 10 Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but the wise shall understand.

###### 11 "And from the time _that_ the daily _sacrifice_ is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, _there shall be_ one thousand two hundred and ninety days.  
###### 12 Blessed _is_ he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

###### 13 "But you, go _your way_ till the end; for you shall rest, and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days."
