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.
And 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.
Those 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.

“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.”

Then I, Daniel, looked; and there stood two others, one on this riverbank and the other on that (K)riverbank. And one said to the man clothed in (L)linen, who was above the waters of the river, (M)“How long shall the fulfillment of these wonders be?

Then I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he (N)held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven, and swore by Him (O)who lives forever, (P)that it shall be for a time, times, and half a time; (Q)and when the power of (R)the holy people has been completely shattered, all these things shall be finished.

Although I heard, I did not understand. Then I said, “My lord, what shall be the end of these things?

And he said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end. 10 (S)Many shall be purified, made white, and refined, (T)but the wicked shall do wickedly; and none of the wicked shall understand, but (U)the wise shall understand.

11 “And from the time that the daily sacrifice is taken away, and the abomination of desolation is set up, there shall be one thousand two hundred and ninety days. 12 Blessed is he who waits, and comes to the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days.

13 “But you, go your way till the end; (V)for you shall rest, (W)and will arise to your inheritance at the end of the days.”

Footnotes

  1. Daniel 12:2 Lit. abhorrence

12 And at that time shall Micha’el stand, the Sar HaGadol who standeth over the banim of thy people, and there shall be an et tzarah (time of tribulation), such as has not been from the existence of a nation to that time; and in that time thy people shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in the Sefer.

And rabbim of them that sleep in the admat aphar (dust of the ground) shall awake, some to Chayyei Olam (Everlasting Life), and some to reproaches (shames) and Dera’on Olam (Everlasting Contempt, Abhorrence, Aversion, i.e., Everlasting Gehinnom.[T.N. Onesh Olam is here made more fearsome in light of the prevalent neglect of Scripture in favor of non-Biblical studies]).

And they that are wise shall shine as the brightness of the firmament; and they that turn many to tzedakah (righteousness) as the kokhavim (stars) leolam v’ed (forever and ever).

But thou, O Daniel, shut up the devarim (words), and seal the sefer, until the Et Ketz (Time of the End): rabbim shall run to and fro, that da’as (knowledge) may be increased.

Then I Daniel looked, and, hinei, two others were standing, the one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on that side of the bank of the river.

And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the Ketz of these wonders?

And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto Shomayim, and swore, By the One who liveth haolam (forever), it shall be for a time, times, and a half a time; and when there is an end of breaking in pieces the yad Am Kodesh (power of the Holy People), all these things shall come to an end.

And I heard, but I understood not. Then said I, Adoni, what shall be the end of these things?

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel, for the devarim are closed up and sealed till the Et Ketz (Time of the End).

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and refined; but the reshaim (wicked) shall do wickedly; and none of the resha’im shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11 And from the time that HaTamid (the Daily Sacrifice) shall be taken away, and the Shikkutz Shomem (Abomination Causing Desolation) set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety yamim.

12 Ashrei (blessed) is he who waiteth, and attains to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty yamim.

13 But thou, go till HaKetz; for thou shalt rest, and shall arise to thy allotted inheritance at the Ketz HaYamin (End of Days).

El tiempo del fin

12 En aquel tiempo se levantará Miguel,(A) el gran príncipe que está de parte de los hijos de tu pueblo; y será tiempo de angustia, cual nunca fue desde que hubo gente hasta entonces;(B) pero en aquel tiempo será libertado tu pueblo, todos los que se hallen escritos en el libro. Y muchos de los que duermen en el polvo de la tierra serán despertados, unos para vida eterna, y otros para vergüenza y confusión perpetua.(C) Los entendidos resplandecerán como el resplandor del firmamento; y los que enseñan la justicia a la multitud, como las estrellas a perpetua eternidad. Pero tú, Daniel, cierra las palabras y sella el libro(D) hasta el tiempo del fin. Muchos correrán de aquí para allá, y la ciencia se aumentará.

Y yo Daniel miré, y he aquí otros dos que estaban en pie, el uno a este lado del río, y el otro al otro lado del río. Y dijo uno al varón vestido de lino, que estaba sobre las aguas del río: ¿Cuándo será el fin de estas maravillas? Y oí al varón vestido de lino, que estaba sobre las aguas del río, el cual alzó su diestra y su siniestra al cielo, y juró por el que vive por los siglos,(E) que será por tiempo, tiempos, y la mitad de un tiempo.(F) Y cuando se acabe la dispersión del poder del pueblo santo, todas estas cosas serán cumplidas. Y yo oí, mas no entendí. Y dije: Señor mío, ¿cuál será el fin de estas cosas? Él respondió: Anda, Daniel, pues estas palabras están cerradas y selladas hasta el tiempo del fin. 10 Muchos serán limpios, y emblanquecidos y purificados; los impíos procederán impíamente,(G) y ninguno de los impíos entenderá, pero los entendidos comprenderán. 11 Y desde el tiempo que sea quitado el continuo sacrificio hasta la abominación desoladora,(H) habrá mil doscientos noventa días. 12 Bienaventurado el que espere, y llegue a mil trescientos treinta y cinco días. 13 Y tú irás hasta el fin, y reposarás, y te levantarás para recibir tu heredad al fin de los días.
