(Revelation 1:1–3)
1
“And at that time Michael stands up, the great head, who is standing up for the sons of your people, and there has been a time of distress, such as has not been since there has been a nation until that time, and at that time your people escape, everyone who is found written in the scroll.
2
And the multitude of those sleeping in the dust of the ground awake, some to continuous life, and some to reproaches—to continuous abhorrence.
3
And those teaching shine as the brightness of the expanse, and those justifying the multitude as stars for all time and forever.”
4
“And you, O Daniel, hide the things, and seal the scroll until the time of the end, many go to and fro, and knowledge is multiplied.”
5
“And I have looked—I, Daniel—and behold, two others are standing, one here at the edge of the flood and one there at the edge of the flood,
6
and he says to the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, Until when [is] the end of these wonders?
7
And I hear the one clothed in linen, who [is] on the waters of the flood, and he lifts up his right hand and his left to the heavens, and swears by Him who is living for all time, that, After a time, times, and a half, and at the completion of the scattering of the power of the holy people, all these are finished.
8
And I have heard, and I do not understand, and I say, O my lord, what [is] the latter end of these?
9
And he says, Go, Daniel; for hidden and sealed [are] the things until the time of the end.
10
Purify themselves, indeed, make themselves white, indeed, many are refined: and the wicked have done wickedly, and none of the wicked understand, and those acting wisely understand;
11
and from the time of the turning aside of the continuous [sacrifice], and to the giving out of the desolating abomination, [are] one thousand, two hundred, and ninety days.
12
O the blessedness of him who is waiting earnestly, and comes to the one thousand, three hundred, thirty-five days.
13
And you, go on to the end, then you rest, and stand in your lot at the end of the days.”
