Daniel 12:10 Context
8And I heard, but I vnderstood not: then said I, O my Lord, what shalbe the end of these things? 9And he said, Goe thy way, Daniel: for the wordes are closed vp and sealed till the time of the end. 10Many shalbe purified, and made white and tried: but the wicked shall doe wickedly: and none of the wicked shall vnderstand, but the wise shall vnderstand. 11And from the time that the dayly sacrifice shalbe taken away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set vp, there shalbe a thousand two hundred and ninetie dayes. 12Blessed is he that waiteth, and commeth to the thousand, three hundred and fiue and thirtie dayes.
