Daniel 12:4-10

Daniel 12:4-10 CSB

“But you, Daniel, keep these words secret  and seal the book  until the time of the end.  Many will roam about,  and knowledge will increase.”  Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others were standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the other. One of them said to the man dressed in linen,  who was above the water of the river,  “How long until the end  of these wondrous things? ” Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the water of the river. He raised both his hands  , toward heaven and swore by him who lives eternally  that it would be for a time, times, and half a time.  When the power of the holy people is shattered, all these things will be completed. I heard but did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things? ”  He said, “Go on your way, Daniel, for the words are secret  and sealed until the time of the end.  Many will be purified,  cleansed, and refined,  but the wicked will act wickedly;  none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.
