Daniel 12
Amplified Bible, Classic Edition
12 And at that time [of the end] Michael shall arise, the great [angelic] prince who defends and has charge of your [Daniel’s] people. And there shall be a time of trouble, straitness, and distress such as never was since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone whose name shall be found written in the Book [of God’s plan for His own].
2 And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake: some to everlasting life and some to shame and everlasting contempt and abhorrence.(A)
3 And the teachers and those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the firmament, and those who turn many to righteousness (to uprightness and right standing with God) [shall give forth light] like the stars forever and ever.(B)
4 But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the Book until the time of the end. [Then] many shall run to and fro and search anxiously [through the Book], and knowledge [of God’s purposes as revealed by His prophets] shall be increased and become great.(C)
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, there stood two others, the one on the brink of the river on this side and the other on the brink of the river on that side.
6 And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?(D)
7 And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by Him Who lives forever that it shall be for a time, times, and a half a time [or three and one-half years]; and when they have made an end of shattering and crushing the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.
8 And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what shall be the issue and final end of these things?
9 And he [the angel] said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.
10 Many shall purify themselves and make themselves white and be tried, smelted, and refined, but the wicked shall do wickedly. And none of the wicked shall understand, but the teachers and those who are wise shall understand.(E)
11 And from the time that the continual burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.(F)
12 Blessed, happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous, and to be envied is he who waits expectantly and earnestly [who endures without wavering beyond the period of tribulation] and comes to the 1,335 days!
13 But you [Daniel, who was now over ninety years of age], go your way until the end; for you shall rest and shall stand [fast] in your allotted place at the end of the days.(G)

The Resurrection of the Dead
12 “At that time Michael, the great prince, the protector of your people, shall arise. There shall be a time of anguish, such as has never occurred since nations first came into existence. But at that time your people shall be delivered, everyone who is found written in the book. 2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth[a] shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3 Those who are wise shall shine like the brightness of the sky,[b] and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever. 4 But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and the book sealed until the time of the end. Many shall be running back and forth, and evil[c] shall increase.”
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and two others appeared, one standing on this bank of the stream and one on the other. 6 One of them said to the man clothed in linen, who was upstream, “How long shall it be until the end of these wonders?” 7 The man clothed in linen, who was upstream, raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven. And I heard him swear by the one who lives forever that it would be for a time, two times, and half a time,[d] and that when the shattering of the power of the holy people comes to an end, all these things would be accomplished. 8 I heard but could not understand; so I said, “My lord, what shall be the outcome of these things?” 9 He said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are to remain secret and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many shall be purified, cleansed, and refined, but the wicked shall continue to act wickedly. None of the wicked shall understand, but those who are wise shall understand. 11 From the time that the regular burnt offering is taken away and the abomination that desolates is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred ninety days. 12 Happy are those who persevere and attain the thousand three hundred thirty-five days. 13 But you, go your way,[e] and rest; you shall rise for your reward at the end of the days.”

Ang Pahayag ng Anghel tungkol sa Huling Panahon
12 “Sa panahong iyon,[a] darating si Micael, ang makapangyarihang pinuno[b] na nagtatanggol sa iyong mga kababayan. Magiging mahirap ang kalagayan sa mga panahong iyon, at ang matinding kahirapang ito ay hindi pa nangyayari mula nang naging bansa ang Israel. Pero ililigtas sa paghihirap ang iyong mga kababayan na ang mga pangalan ay nakasulat sa aklat.[c] 2 Bubuhayin ang marami sa mga namatay na. Ang iba sa kanila ay tatanggap ng buhay na walang hanggan, pero ang iba ay isusumpa at ilalagay sa kahihiyang walang hanggan. 3 Ang mga taong nakakaunawa ng katotohanan at nagtuturo sa mga tao na mamuhay nang matuwid ay magniningning na parang bituin sa langit magpakailanman. 4 Pero Daniel, isara mo muna ang aklat na ito at huwag mo munang sabihin sa mga tao ang mensahe nito hanggang sa dumating ang katapusan. Habang hindi pa ito ipinapahayag, marami ang magsisikap na unawain ang mga nangyayari.”
5 Pagkatapos niyang sabihin iyon, may nakita pa akong dalawang taong nakatayo sa magkabilang pampang ng ilog. 6 Nagtanong ang isa sa kanila sa taong nakadamit ng telang linen na nakatayo sa mataas na bahagi ng ilog, “Gaano kaya katagal bago matapos ang mga nakakamanghang pangyayaring iyon?”
7 Itinaas ng taong nakadamit ng telang linen ang kanyang dalawang kamay at narinig kong sumumpa siya sa Dios na buhay magpakailanman. Sinabi niya, “Matatapos ito sa loob ng tatlong taon at kalahati, kapag natapos na ang paghihirap ng mga mamamayan ng Dios.”
8 Hindi ko naintindihan ang kanyang sagot kaya tinanong ko siya, “Ano po ba ang kalalabasan ng mga pangyayaring iyon?” 9 Sumagot siya, “Sige na,[d] Daniel, hayaan mo na iyon, dahil ang sagot sa tanong moʼy mananatiling lihim at hindi maaaring sabihin hanggang sa dumating ang katapusan. 10 Marami sa mga nakakaunawa ng katotohanan ang lilinisin ang kanilang buhay, at mauunawaan nila ang mga sinasabi ko. Pero ang masasama ay patuloy na gagawa ng masama at hindi makakaunawa ng mga sinasabi ko.
11 “Lilipas ang 1,290 araw mula sa panahon ng pagpapatigil ng araw-araw na paghahandog at paglalagay ng kasuklam-suklam na bagay na magiging dahilan ng pag-iwan sa templo hanggang sa dumating ang katapusan. 12 Mapalad ang naghihintay at nananatili hanggang sa matapos ang 1,335 araw.
13 “At ikaw Daniel, ipagpatuloy mo ang iyong gawain. Mamamatay ka, pero bubuhayin kang muli sa mga huling araw upang tanggapin ang iyong gantimpala na inihanda para sa iyo.”
