26 After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death(A) and will have nothing.[a] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood:(B) War will continue until the end, and desolations(C) have been decreed.(D) 27 He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’[b] In the middle of the ‘seven’[c] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple[d] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed(E) is poured out on him.[e][f]

26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary; and the end thereof shall be with a flood, and unto the end of the war desolations are determined.

27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate.

Then I, Daniel, looked, and there before me stood two others, one on this bank of the river and one on the opposite bank.(A) One of them said to the man clothed in linen,(B) who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be before these astonishing things are fulfilled?”(C)

The man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, lifted his right hand(D) and his left hand toward heaven, and I heard him swear by him who lives forever,(E) saying, “It will be for a time, times and half a time.[a](F) When the power of the holy people(G) has been finally broken, all these things will be completed.(H)

I heard, but I did not understand. So I asked, “My lord, what will the outcome of all this be?”

He replied, “Go your way, Daniel, because the words are rolled up and sealed(I) until the time of the end.(J) 10 Many will be purified, made spotless and refined,(K) but the wicked will continue to be wicked.(L) None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.(M)

  1. Daniel 12:7 Or a year, two years and half a year

Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, 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, which was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these wonders?

And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy people, all these things shall be finished.

And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shall be the end of these things?

And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up and sealed till the time of the end.

10 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall understand; but the wise shall understand.

11 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
