Daniel 12:5-7

Contemporary English Version

The End of Time

⁵ Daniel wrote:

I looked around and saw two other people—one on this side of the river and one on the other side. ⁶ The angel who had spoken to me was dressed in linen and was standing upstream from them.^[a] So one of the two beside the river asked him, “How long before these amazing things happen?”

^7 (A) The angel then raised both hands toward heaven and said, “In the name of the God who lives forever, I solemnly promise that it will be a time, two times, and half a time.^[b] Everything will be over, when the suffering of God's holy people comes to an end.”
