Jeremiah 30:5-9

New International Version

⁵“This is what the Lord says:

“‘Cries of fear^(A) are heard—
    terror, not peace.
⁶Ask and see:
    Can a man bear children?
Then why do I see every strong man
    with his hands on his stomach like a woman in labor,^(B)
    every face turned deathly pale?^(C)
⁷How awful that day^(D) will be!
    No other will be like it.
It will be a time of trouble^(E) for Jacob,
    but he will be saved^(F) out of it.

⁸“‘In that day,’ declares the Lord Almighty,
    ‘I will break the yoke^(G) off their necks
and will tear off their bonds;^(H)
    no longer will foreigners enslave them.^(I)
⁹Instead, they will serve the Lord their God
    and David^(J) their king,^(K)
    whom I will raise up for them.

Daniel 9:24-27

New International Version

²⁴“Seventy ‘sevens’^[a] are decreed for your people and your holy city^(A) to finish^[b] transgression, to put an end to sin, to atone^(B) for wickedness, to bring in everlasting righteousness,^(C) to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the Most Holy Place.^[c]

²⁵“Know and understand this: From the time the word goes out to restore and rebuild^(D) Jerusalem until the Anointed One,^[d]^(E) the ruler,^(F) comes, there will be seven ‘sevens,’ and sixty-two ‘sevens.’ It will be rebuilt with streets and a trench, but in times of trouble.^(G) ²⁶After the sixty-two ‘sevens,’ the Anointed One will be put to death^(H) and will have nothing.^[e] The people of the ruler who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary. The end will come like a flood:^(I) War will continue until the end, and desolations^(J) have been decreed.^(K) ²⁷He will confirm a covenant with many for one ‘seven.’^[f] In the middle of the ‘seven’^[g] he will put an end to sacrifice and offering. And at the temple^[h] he will set up an abomination that causes desolation, until the end that is decreed^(L) is poured out on him.^[i]”^[j]

The End Times

12 “At that time Michael,^(A) the great prince who protects your people, will arise. There will be a time of distress^(B) such as has not happened from the beginning of nations until then.
