Daniel 12:1-4

New King James Version

Prophecy of the End Time

12 “At that time Michael shall stand up,
The great prince who stands watch over the sons of your people;
^(A)And there shall be a time of trouble,
Such as never was since there was a nation,
Even to that time.
And at that time your people ^(B)shall be delivered,
Every one who is found ^(C)written in the book.
²And many of those who sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake,
^(D)Some to everlasting life,
Some to shame ^(E)and everlasting ^[a]contempt.
³Those who are wise shall ^(F)shine
Like the brightness of the firmament,
^(G)And those who turn many to righteousness
^(H)Like the stars forever and ever.

⁴“But you, Daniel, ^(I)shut up the words, and seal the book until the time of the end; many shall ^(J)run to and fro, and knowledge shall increase.”

Seventh Seal: Prelude to the Seven Trumpets

8 When^(A) He opened the seventh seal, there was silence in heaven for about half an hour. ²^(B)And I saw the seven angels who stand before God, ^(C)and to them were given seven trumpets. ³Then another angel, having a golden censer, came and stood at the altar. He was given much incense, that he should offer it with ^(D)the prayers of all the saints upon ^(E)the golden altar which was before the throne. ⁴And ^(F)the smoke of the incense, with the prayers of the saints, ascended before God from the angel’s hand. ⁵Then the angel took the censer, filled it with fire from the altar, and threw it to the earth. And ^(G)there were noises, thunderings, ^(H)lightnings, ^(I)and an earthquake.
