Daniel 12 WBT
Summary: The vision concludes with the promise that Michael, the great prince who protects Daniel's people, will arise at a time of unprecedented trouble, and that at that time "everyone whose name shall be found written in the book" will be delivered. Daniel is told that many who sleep in the dust will awake, "some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt" (v. 2), and that the wise who lead others to righteousness will "shine like the stars forever." Daniel is instructed to seal up the book until the time of the end, and the chapter closes with an exchange about the duration of the coming trouble — "a time, times, and half a time," and the numbers 1,290 and 1,335 days — with Daniel himself promised rest and a share in the inheritance "at the end of the days" (v. 13).
1And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince who standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a nation [even] to that same time: and at that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the book.
2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame [and] everlasting contempt.
3And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the stars for ever and ever.
4But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, [even] to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and knowledge shall be increased.
5Then I Daniel looked, and behold, there stood other two, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.
6And [one] said to the man clothed in linen, who [was] upon the waters of the river, How long [shall it be to] the end of these wonders?
7And I heard the man clothed in linen, who [was] upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by him that liveth for ever, that [it shall be] for a time, times, and a half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these [things] shall be finished.
8And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what [shall be] the end of these [things]?
9And he said, Go thy way Daniel: for the words [are] closed up and sealed till the time of the end.
10Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.
11And from the time [that] the daily [sacrifice] shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, [there shall be] a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
12Blessed [is] he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days.
13But go thou thy way till the end: for thou shalt rest, and stand in thy lot at the end of the days.
