...TURN MANY TO RIGHTEOUSNESS AS THE STARS FOREVER MORE

And at that time shall Michael stand 

up,the great prince which standeth for 

the children of thy people: and there 

shall be a time of trouble, such as 

never was since there was a nation 

even to that same time: and at that 

time thy people shall be delivered, 

every one that shall be found written 

in the book.  And many of them that 

sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, 

some to everlasting life, and some to 

shame and everlasting contempt.

And they that be wise shall shine as the 

brightness of the firmament; and they 

that turn many to righteousness as the 

stars for ever and ever.  But thou, O 

Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the 

book, even to the time of the end: 

many shall run to and fro, and 

knowledge shall be increased.

Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, 

there stood other two, the one on this 

side of the bank of the river, and the 

other on that side of the bank of 

the river.  And one said to the man 

clothed in linen, which was upon 

the waters of the river, How long 

shall it be to the end of these wonders?  

And I heard the man clothed in 

linen, which was upon the waters of 

the river, when he held up his right 

hand and his left hand unto heaven, 

and sware by him that liveth for ever 

that it shall be for a time, times, and an 

half; and when he shall have accomplished 

to scatter the power of the holy people, 

all these things shall be finished.

And I heard, but I understood not: then 

said I, O my Lord, what shall be the 

end of these things?  And he said, Go thy 

way, Daniel: for the words are closed up 

and sealed till the time of the end.

Many shall be purified, and made white, 

and tried; but the wicked shall do wickedly: 

and none of the wicked shall understand; 

but the wise shall understand.

And from the time that the daily sacrifice 

shall be taken away, and the abomination 

that maketh desolate set up, there 

shall be a thousand two hundred and 

ninety days.  Blessed is he that waiteth, 

and cometh to the thousand three hundred 

and five and thirty days.  But go thou thy way 

till the end be: for thou shalt rest, and stand 

in thy lot at the end of the days.

Daniel 12
