Michael shall stand up for the people of God: with other things relating
to Antichrist, and the end of the world.
12:1. But at that time shall Michael rise up, the great prince, who
standeth for the children of thy people: and a time shall come, such as
never was from the time that nations began, even until that time. And at
that time shall thy people be saved, every one that shall be found
written in the book.
12:2. And many of those that sleep in the dust of the earth, shall
awake: some unto life everlasting, and others unto reproach, to see it
always.
12:3. But they that are learned, shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament: and they that instruct many to justice, as stars for all
eternity.
Learned... Viz., in the law of God and true wisdom, which consists in
knowing and loving God.
12:4. But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even to
the time appointed: many shall pass over, and knowledge shall be
manifold.
12:5. And I, Daniel, looked, and behold as it were two others stood: one
on this side upon the bank of the river, and another on that side, on
the other bank of the river.
12:6. And I said to the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon
the waters of the river: How long shall it be to the end of these
wonders?
12:7. And I heard the man that was clothed in linen, that stood upon the
waters of the river, when he had lifted up his right hand, and his left
hand to heaven, and had sworn by him that liveth for ever, that it
should be unto a time, and times, and half a time. And when the
scattering of the band of the holy people shall be accomplished, all
these things shall be finished.
12:8. And I heard, and understood not. And I said: O my lord, what shall
be after these things?
12:9. And he said: Go, Daniel, because the words are shut up, and sealed
until the appointed time.
12:10. Many shall be chosen, and made white, and shall be tried as fire:
and the wicked shall deal wickedly, and none of the wicked shall
understand, but the learned shall understand.
12:11. And from the time when the continual sacrifice shall be taken
away, and the abomination unto desolation shall be set up, there shall
be a thousand two hundred ninety days.
12:12. Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh unto a thousand three
hundred thirty-five days.
12:13. But go thou thy ways until the time appointed: and thou shalt
rest, and stand in thy lot unto the end of the days.
