12 Then he said to me, ^a“Fear not, Daniel, for from the first day that you ^bset your heart to understand and ^bhumbled yourself before your God, ^cyour words have been heard, ^dand I have come because of your words. 13 ^eThe prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me ^ftwenty-one days, but ^gMichael, one of the chief princes, came to help me, for I was left there with the kings of Persia, 14 ^dand came to make you understand what is to happen to your people ^hin the latter days. For ⁱthe vision is for days yet to come.”

The Time of the End

1 “At that time shall arise ^aMichael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And ^bthere shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, ^ceveryone whose name shall be found written in the book.
