Daniel 12
From Daniel's Journal

Many of my Hebrew brothers and their families traveled back to Jerusalem a short time ago. King Cyrus gave them permission. Ezra led the people.
An angel came to speak to me after I'd seen a vision. I don't know if I had such a difficult time because I am older or because of the vision that scared me, or maybe both.
The message has been long, I know. This is the fourth and last time I'm writing you about this message. If you missed any, scroll down these posts to read the ones before. The news is very important for us to hear. It can help prepare us for the day these events will come to pass. This is what the angel explained next:
"At the time when the king of the North will come to his end, Michael, the great prince who protects your people will arise. Terrible things will happen, such as has never happened from the beginning of nations nor will be until that time.
"At the appointed time your people, everyone whose name is found written in the book, will be delivered. Those who have died before will come to life. Some will go to where they will live forever, others will go to where they will live their shame and forever be condemned. Those who are wise will shine like the brightness of the heavens, and those who lead many to righteousness, like the stars for ever and ever.
"Now Daniel, you are to close up and seal the words of the scroll until the time of the end. Many will go here and there to increase knowledge."
Two men joined us. One on this bank of the river and one on the other. One asked the angel, "How long will it be before these amazing things happen?"
The angel answered, "It will be for a time, times and half a time. When the power of the holy people has been finally broken, all these things will be completed."
I didn't understand what this meant, so I asked, "My lord, what will the result be?"
The angel answered, "Go your way, Daniel, because the words are closed up and sealed until the time of the end. Many will be made spotless but the wicked will continue to be wicked. None of the wicked will understand, but those who are wise will understand.
"From the time the daily sacrifice is abolished and the horrors that cause destruction is set up there will be 1,290 days. Blessed is the one who waits for and reaches the end of the 1,335 days.
"As for you, Daniel, go your way till the end. You will rest, then at the end of the days you will rise to receive your inheritance."
After the angel said those words, he left.
