Daniel 12
La Biblia de las Américas
El tiempo del fin
12 En aquel tiempo se levantará Miguel, el gran príncipe(A) que vela sobre[a] los hijos de tu pueblo. Será un tiempo de angustia(B) cual nunca hubo desde que existen las naciones hasta entonces; y en ese tiempo tu pueblo será librado(C), todos los que se encuentren inscritos en el libro(D). 2 Y muchos de los que duermen en el polvo de la tierra despertarán(E), unos para la vida eterna, y otros para la ignominia, para el desprecio eterno(F). 3 Los entendidos[b] brillarán(G) como el resplandor del firmamento, y los que guiaron a muchos(H) a la justicia, como las estrellas, por siempre jamás. 4 Pero tú, Daniel, guarda en secreto estas palabras y sella el libro hasta el tiempo del fin(I). Muchos correrán de aquí para allá, y el conocimiento aumentará(J).
5 Entonces yo, Daniel, miré, y he aquí otros dos estaban de pie, uno a este lado del río, y el otro al otro lado del río. 6 Y uno de ellos dijo al hombre vestido de lino(K) que estaba sobre las aguas del río(L): ¿Para[c] cuándo será el fin de estas maravillas(M)? 7 Y oí al hombre vestido de lino, que estaba sobre las aguas del río, que levantando su mano derecha y su mano izquierda al cielo, juró por aquel que vive para siempre(N), que será por un tiempo[d], tiempos[e] y la mitad de un tiempo[f](O); y cuando se termine la destrucción del poder[g] del pueblo santo, se cumplirán todas estas cosas(P). 8 Yo oí, pero no pude entender. Entonces dije: Señor mío, ¿cuál será el resultado[h] de estas cosas? 9 Y él respondió: Anda, Daniel, porque estas palabras están cerradas y selladas hasta el tiempo del fin(Q). 10 Muchos serán purificados, emblanquecidos y refinados(R); los impíos procederán impíamente(S), y ninguno de los impíos comprenderá, pero los entendidos[i] comprenderán(T). 11 Y desde el tiempo en que el sacrificio perpetuo sea abolido y puesta la abominación de la desolación[j](U), habrá mil doscientos noventa días. 12 Bienaventurado el que espere(V) y llegue a mil trescientos treinta y cinco días(W). 13 Mas tú, sigue hasta el fin[k]; descansarás(X) y te levantarás para recibir tu heredad[l](Y) al fin de los días.

Amplified Bible
The Time of the End
12 “Now at that [end] time Michael, the great [angelic] prince who stands guard over the children of your people, will arise. And there will be a time of distress such as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; but at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the [a]Book [of Life], will be rescued. 2 Many of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake (resurrect), these to everlasting life, but some to disgrace and everlasting contempt (abhorrence).(A) 3 Those who are [spiritually] wise will shine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who lead many to righteousness, [will shine] like the stars forever and ever.(B) 4 But as for you, Daniel, conceal these words and seal up the scroll until the end of time. Many will go back and forth and search anxiously [through the scroll], and knowledge [of the purpose of God as revealed by His prophets] will [greatly] increase.”(C)
5 Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, there stood two others, the one [angel] on this bank of the river and the other [angel] on that bank of the river. 6 And one said to the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, “How long will it be until the end of these wonders?”(D) 7 And I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he held up his right hand and his left hand toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and a half a time (three and a half years); and as soon as they finish shattering and crushing the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished. 8 As for me, I heard, but I did not understand; so I said, “My lord, what will be the outcome of these things?” 9 And the angel said, “Go your way, Daniel, for the words are concealed and sealed up until the end of time. 10 Many will be purged, purified (made white) and refined, but the wicked will behave wickedly. None of the wicked shall understand, but those who are [spiritually] wise will understand.(E) 11 From the time that the regular sacrifice [that is, the daily burnt offering] is taken away and the abomination of desolation is set up [ruining the temple for worship of the true God], there will be [b]1,290 days.(F) 12 How blessed [happy, fortunate, spiritually prosperous] and beloved is he who waits expectantly [enduring without wavering for the period of tribulation] and comes to the [c]1,335 days! 13 But as for you (Daniel), go your way until the end [of your [d]life]; for you will rest and rise again for your allotted inheritance at the end of the age.”(G)

- Daniel 12:1 See 10:21; Mal 3:16; Luke 10:20.
- Daniel 12:11 1,290 is 30 days more than 3 1/2 years of 360 day years (1,260 days). The extra 30 days allows for the judgment that will take place after the second coming of Christ.
- Daniel 12:12 The difference between this number and that in v 11 is 45 days, an interval that is not explained. The ancient rabbis speculated that when the Messiah comes, He will lead Israel into the wilderness and then disappear for 45 days to test their faith. The true believers will wait for Him, the rest will join other nations and eventually die there.
- Daniel 12:13 Daniel was now over ninety years of age.
