This OET Readers’ Version was designed to be used with the Literal Version alongside, so you won’t get the best understanding from this single viewpoint.

12:1 The ending of time
12 The one who looked like a human also told me: At that time Mika’el (Michael), the powerful prince who stands guard over your people, will become active.[ref] There’ll be a time of distress such as never has been since there was a nation until that time,[ref] but at that time your people will be rescued—everyone whose name is found written in the book. 2 Many of those who’ve already been buried will come back to life—some to go on and live forever, and some to endure shame and everlasting contempt.[ref] 3 Those who have insight will shine like the brightness of the Milky Way, and those who lead many people to righteousness, like the stars shining forever.
4 But you, Daniyel, keep these words secret, and seal up the book until the time of the end.[ref] Many will rush back and forth, and knowledge will increase.
5 Then I, Daniyel, looked, and to my surprise, two others were standing there—one on this side of the river and one on the opposite bank. 6 One of them asked the man dressed in linen, who was above the river itself, “How long will it be until the end of those incredible events?”
7 I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the river—he raised both arms and promised in the name of him who lives forever[ref] that it would be for a time, times, and half a time.[ref] When the destruction of the power of the holy people has come to an end, all those things will have been completed.
8 I heard, but I didn’t understand, so I asked, “My master, what will be the outcome of all those things?”
9 “Just carry on, Daniyel,” he responded, “because those matters are closed and sealed until the time of the end. 10 Many people will be purified, cleaned, and refined, but the wicked will behave wickedly.[ref] None of the wicked will understand these things, but those who have insight will understand.
11 From the time that the regular burnt offerings are taken away and the revolting thing that causes people to be appalled is set up,[ref] there will be 1,290 days. 12 Blessed is any person who’s patient and arrives at the 1,335 days.
13 But as for you, carry on with your life until the end. Then you’ll be able to relax and receive your allocated inheritance at the end of the days.”
