Daniel 12:7-9

Easy-to-Read Version

He said, “It will be for three and one-half years.^[a] The power of the holy people will be broken, and then all these things will finally come true.”

⁹ He answered, “Go on about your life Daniel. The message is hidden. It will be a secret until the time of the end.
