1 "At that time, Michael the great leader who guards your people will take his stand. It will be a difficult time—nothing like it has ever happened since nations first appeared. But at that time every one of your people who is found written in the scroll will be rescued.
2 Many of those who sleep in the dusty land will wake up—some to eternal life, others to shame and eternal disgrace.
3 Those skilled in wisdom will shine like the sky. Those who lead many to righteousness will shine like the stars forever and always.
4 But you, Daniel, must keep these words secret! Seal the scroll until the end time! Many will stray far, but knowledge will increase."
