Daniel 12:4-9

New King James Version

⁴ “But you, Daniel, ^(A)shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall ^(B)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 ^(C)riverbank. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed in ^(D)linen, who was above the waters of the river, ^(E)“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 ^(F)held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him ^(G)who lives forever, ^(H)that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; ^(I)and when the power of ^(J)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.
