What does Daniel hear but not understand about the appointed time?

Michael, the great prince standing for Daniel's people, will arise during a time of trouble without precedent since nations began. Everyone of Daniel's people found written in the book will be saved. Many who sleep in the earth's dust will awake, some to everlasting life and others to lasting reproach. The learned shine like the firmament; those instructing many to justice shine like stars forever. The edition explains true wisdom as knowing and loving God.

Daniel is told to shut the words and seal the book until the appointed time: many will pass over and knowledge will be manifold. He sees two others, one on each bank, and asks the linen-clad man standing upon the river's waters how long until these wonders end. Raising both hands toward heaven, the man swears by the ever-living one that it is for a time, times and half a time. When the scattering of the holy people's band is accomplished, all these things will be finished.

Daniel hears without understanding and asks what comes after. He is told to go, because the words are shut and sealed until the appointed time. Many will be chosen, made white and tried by fire; the wicked act wickedly and do not understand, while the learned understand. From the removal of continual sacrifice and establishment of the abomination of desolation are 1,290 days; blessed is one who waits and reaches 1,335 days. Daniel is told to go until the appointed time, to rest and stand in his lot at the end of days. The chapter does not turn these numbers into calendar dates or identify the two bank-side figures as angels.
