7. I heard the man dressed in linen clothes who was above the river. He raised his right hand and left hand to heaven and swore an oath by the one who lives forever. He said, “It will be for a time, times, and half of a time. When the power of the holy people has been completely shattered, then all these things will be finished.”
8. I heard him, but I did not understand. So I asked him, “Sir, how will these things end?”
9. He replied, “Go, Daniel. These words are to be kept secret and sealed until the end times.
10. Many will be purified, made white, and refined. But wicked people will do wicked things, and none of them will understand. Only wise people will understand.
11. From the time the daily burnt offering is taken away and the disgusting thing that causes destruction is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
