Daniel 12:1
Konteks12:1 “At that time Michael,
the great prince who watches over your people, 1
will arise. 2
There will be a time of distress
unlike any other from the nation’s beginning 3
up to that time.
But at that time your own people,
all those whose names are 4 found written in the book,
will escape.
Daniel 9:18
Konteks9:18 Listen attentively, 5 my God, and hear! Open your eyes and look on our desolated ruins 6 and the city called by your name. 7 For it is not because of our own righteous deeds that we are praying to you, 8 but because your compassion is abundant.
