Daniel 12:6-8
Living Bible
6 And one of them asked the man in linen robes who was standing now above the river, “How long will it be until all these terrors end?”
7 He replied, with both hands lifted to heaven, taking oath by him who lives forever and ever, that they will not end until three and a half years after the power of God’s people has been crushed.[a]
8 I heard what he said, but I didn’t understand what he meant. So I said, “Sir, how will all this finally end?”
