12The angel wearing linen clothes said, "At that time the great angel Michael, who guards your people, will appear. Then there will be a time of troubles, the worst since nations first came into existence. When that time comes, all the people of your nation whose names are written in God's book will be saved.H6256H4317H5975H1419H8269H5975H1121H5971H1961H6256H6869H1471H6256H6256H5971H4422H4672H3789H56122Many of those who have already died will live again: some will enjoy eternal life, and some will suffer eternal disgrace.H7227H3463H6083H127H6974H5769H2416H2781H5769H18603The wise leaders will shine with all the brightness of the sky. And those who have taught many people to do what is right will shine like the stars forever."H7919H2094H2096H7549H7227H6663H3556H5769H57034He said to me, "And now, Daniel, close the book and put a seal on it until the end of the world. Meanwhile, many people will waste their efforts trying to understand what is happening."H1840H5640H1697H2856H5612H6256H7093H7227H7751H1847H72355Then I saw two men standing by a river, one on each bank.H1840H7200H5975H312H8147H259H2008H8193H2975H259H8193H29756One of them asked the angel who was standing further upstream, "How long will it be until these amazing events come to an end?"H559H376H3847H906H4605H4325H2975H7093H63827The angel raised both hands toward the sky and made a solemn promise in the name of the Eternal God. I heard him say, "It will be three and a half years. When the persecution of God's people ends, all these things will have happened."H8085H376H3847H906H4605H4325H2975H7311H3225H8040H8064H7650H2416H5769H4150H4150H2677H3615H5310H3027H6944H5971H36158I heard what he said, but I did not understand it. So I asked, "But, sir, how will it all end?"H8085H995H559H113H3199He answered, "You must go now, Daniel, because these words are to be kept secret and hidden until the end comes.H559H3212H1840H1697H5640H2856H6256H709310Many people will be purified. Those who are wicked will not understand but will go on being wicked; only those who are wise will understand.H7227H1305H3835H6884H7563H7561H7563H995H7919H99511"From the time the daily sacrifices are stopped, that is, from the time of The Awful Horror, 1,290 days will pass.H6256H8548H5493H8251H8074H5414H505H3967H8673H311712Happy are those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are over!H835H2442H5060H505H7969H3967H2568H7970H311713"And you, Daniel, be faithful to the end. Then you will die, but you will rise to receive your reward at the end of time."H3212H7093H5117H5975H1486H7093H3117
