Daniel 12

Michael Will Arise

“At that time Michael will arise, the great prince who stands over the children of your people. There will be a time of distress such as has not happened since there was a nation until that time. But at that time your people will escape, everyone who is found written in the book.

Many Who Sleep in the Dust Will Awake

And when the shattering of the power of the holy people is completed, all these things will be completed.

The Words Are Sealed until the Time of the End

Many will purify themselves, make themselves white, and be refined, but the wicked will act wickedly. None of the wicked will understand, but those with insight will understand.

You Will Stand for Your Lot at the End
