The Time of the End
1 #
Mt 24.21; Mk 13.19; Jude 1.9; Rev 7.14; 12.7 The 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. 2#Is 26.19; Mt 25.46; Jn 5.29Many of those who have already died will live again: some will enjoy eternal life, and some will suffer eternal disgrace. 3The 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 for ever.”

Rev 22.10
He 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.”
5Then I saw two men standing by a river, one on each bank. 6One of them asked the angel who was standing further upstream, “How long will it be until these amazing events come to an end?”

Rev 10.5; 12.14 The angel raised both hands towards the sky and made a solemn promise in the name of the Eternal God. I heard him say, “It will be 3.5 years. When the persecution of God's people ends, all these things will have happened.”
8I heard what he said, but I did not understand it. So I asked, “But, sir, how will it all end?”
9He answered, “You must go now, Daniel, because these words are to be kept secret and hidden until the end comes. 10#Rev 22.11Many people will be purified. Those who are wicked will not understand but will go on being wicked; only those who are wise will understand.

Dan 9.27; 11.31; Mt 24.15; Mk 13.14 “From the time the daily sacrifices are stopped, that is, from the time of The Awful Horror,#12.11 The Awful Horror: See 9.27. 1,290 days will pass. 12Happy are those who remain faithful until 1,335 days are over!
13“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.”

Daniel 12
12
1At that time
Michael # Dn 10:13,21; Jd 9; Rv 12:7 the great prince
who stands watch over your people will rise up.
There will be a time of distress # Mt 24:21; Mk 13:19
such as never has occurred # Jr 30:7; Ezk 5:9; Dn 9:12
since nations came into being until that time. # Rv 16:18
But at that time all your people
who are found written in the book # Dn 7:10; 10:21; Rv 20:12 will escape. # Php 4:3; Rv 20:12; 21:27
2Many of those who sleep in the dust # Is 26:19; Ezk 37:12-14
of the earth will awake,
some to eternal life, # Mt 25:46; Jn 5:28-29
and some to shame and eternal contempt. # Is 66:24
3Those who are wise will shine
like the bright expanse of the heavens, # Gn 1:6; Ps 19:1; Jn 5:35
and those who lead many to righteousness, # Is 53:11; Dn 11:33
like the stars forever and ever.
4“But you, Daniel, keep these words secret # Dn 8:26; 12:9; Rv 10:4 and seal the book # Is 8:16; Jr 32:9-12; Rv 22:10 until the time of the end. # Dn 8:17; 12:9,13 Many will roam about, # 2Ch 16:9; Jr 5:1; Am 8:12 and knowledge will increase.” # LXX reads and the earth will be filled with unrighteousness
5Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others were standing there, one on this bank of the river and one on the other. 6One of them said to the man dressed in linen, # Ezk 9:2; Dn 10:5 who was above the waters of the river, # Dn 8:16 “How long until the end # Dn 8:13; Mt 24:3; Mk 13:4 of these extraordinary things? ” 7Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river. He raised both his hands # Lit raised his right and his left # Ezk 20:5; Rv 10:5-6 toward heaven and swore by Him who lives eternally # Dn 4:34 that it would be for a time, times, and half a time. # Dn 7:25; Rv 11:2; 12:14 When the power of the holy people is shattered, all these things will be completed.
8I heard but did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things? ” # 1Th 5:10; 2Pt 3:10-14
9He said, “Go on your way, Daniel, for the words are secret # Rv 10:4 and sealed until the time of the end. # Dn 12:4 10Many will be purified, # Zch 13:9; Ac 1:6-7; 2Th 2:7-12 cleansed, and refined, # Dn 11:35 but the wicked will act wickedly; # Is 32:6-7; Rv 22:11 none of the wicked will understand, but the wise will understand. # Dn 12:3; Hs 14:9; Jn 7:17; 8:47 11From the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation # Dn 9:27 is set up, # Dn 11:31; Mt 24:15; Mk 13:14 there will be 1,290 days. 12The one who waits # Is 30:18 for and reaches 1,335 days is blessed. 13But as for you, go on your way to the end; # LXX omits to the end you will rest, then rise # Is 57:2; Rv 14:13 to your destiny at the end of the days.”
