The prophets

The Sealing of the Book and the Time Indications for the End Times

By the riverbank Daniel sees two figures, and one of them asks the man clothed in linen how long it will be before the wonderful things come to an end. The man lifts both hands toward heaven and swears by him who lives forever that it will last "a time, times, and half a time", until the power of the holy people is completely broken. Daniel does not understand and asks further, but receives the answer that the words are sealed until the end time. Many shall be purified and made clean, while the wicked continue in their wickedness. From the daily sacrifice is removed and the abomination that causes desolation is set up, there will be 1290 days, and blessed is he who reaches to 1335 days. Daniel receives the promise to rest and stand up for his lot at the end of the days.
