7. I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he raised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by Him who lives forever that it would be for a time, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish shattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.
8. As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?"
9. He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and sealed up until the end time.
10. Many will be purged, purified and refined, but the wicked will act wickedly; and none of the wicked will understand, but those who have insight will understand.
11. From the time that the regular sacrifice is abolished and the abomination of desolation is set up, there will be 1,290 days.
12. How blessed is he who keeps waiting and attains to the 1,335 days!
13. But as for you, go your way to the end; then you will enter into rest and rise again for your allotted portion at the end of the age."
