The Time of the Judgment and the Resurrection of Two Groups

12 “Now at that time, Michael, the great prince, will arise, the protector[fn] over the sons of your people, and it will be a time of distress that has not been since your people have been[fn] a nation until that time. And at that time your people will escape, everyone who is found[fn] written in the scroll.[fn] 2 And many from those sleeping in the dusty ground[fn] will awake, some to everlasting life[fn] and some to disgrace and everlasting contempt.[fn] 3 But the ones having insight will shine like the brightness of the expanse, and the ones providing justice for the many[fn] will be like the stars forever and ever.[fn] 4 But you, Daniel, keep the words secret and seal the scroll[fn] until the time of the end; many will run back and forth and knowledge will increase.”

5 Then I looked, I myself, Daniel, and look, there were two others standing: one on this bank of the stream and one on the other.[fn] 6 Then he said to the man who was clothed in linen who was above[fn] the water of the stream,[fn] “How long until[fn] the end of the wonders?” 7 And I heard the man who was clothed in linen who was above[fn] the water of the stream,[fn] and he raised his right hand and his left hand to heaven and he swore by the one who lives forever[fn] that an appointed time, appointed times, and half an appointed time would pass when the shattering of the power of the holy people[fn] would be completed;[fn] then all these things will be accomplished.
