The Messenger Concludes His Revelation

I, Daniel, looked, and there were two others standing there, one on the near bank of the river and the other on the far bank of the river. Someone said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long until the end of these amazing things?” Then I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river. He raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time, and then, when the rejection of the holy people is finished, all these things will be finished.[a]

I myself heard, but I did not understand. So I said, “Lord, what will be the end result of these things?”

He said:

Go, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many will be purified, made white, and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.

11 From the time when the regular daily offering is removed and an abominable thing that causes desolation is set up, there will be one thousand two hundred ninety days. 12 Blessed is the one who waits and reaches one thousand three hundred thirty-five days.

13 But you, go on your way to the end. You will rest and rise to your assigned inheritance at the end of the days.
