In context — Daniel 12:7
And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river; he raised his right hand and his left hand toward the heavens and swore by the Ever-Living One that it will be for a time, times, and half a time; and when the power of the holy people is shattered, all these things will be completed.
