7. The angel then raised both hands towards heaven and said, “In the name of the God who lives for ever, I solemnly promise that it will be a time, two times, and half a time. Everything will be over, when the suffering of God's holy people comes to an end.”
8. I heard what the angel said, but I didn't understand. So I asked, “Sir, how will it all end?”The angel in my vision then replied:
9. Daniel, go about your business, because the meaning of this message will remain secret until the end of time.
10. Many people will have their hearts and lives made pure and clean, but those who are evil will keep on being evil and never understand. Only the wise will understand.
11. There will be one thousand two hundred and ninety days from the time that the daily sacrifices are stopped, until someone sets up the “Horrible Thing” that causes destruction.
12. God will bless everyone who patiently waits until one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days have gone by.
13. So, Daniel, be faithful until the end! You will rest, and at the end of time, you will rise from death to receive your reward.
