"And as soon as there will have been a finishing of
the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces,
all these things will come to their finish". (Daniel 12:7 NWT)

"ALL THESE THINGS WILL COME TO THEIR FINISH"? -- WHAT THINGS?
Immediately following the "time" of the end, the last year of the 3½ years of the dashing of the power of the holy people to pieces on earth (a period which terminated January 19^th 1979), is when "all these things" now seen are progressively being brought to their finish. "These things" being brought to their end are the last of the earthly kingdoms and rulerships opposed to the heavenly Kingdom of God. The main elements of these earthly kingdoms are described as the "king of the North" and the "king of the South". These "kings" are the "iron" and "clay" that cannot mix, and are the two dominant powers over people on earth. (Dan 11:40-45. 2:41-45).

Concerning the period immediately after the dashing of the holy power of anointed sons of God, it is said to those still spiritually alive on earth: "Happy is the one who is keeping in expectation and who arrives at the one thousand three hundred and thirty-five days! And as for you yourself, go toward the end; and you will rest, but you will stand up for your lot at the end of the days". (Dan 12:12,13 NWT). Or as Moffatt's Translation expresses it: "[[Blessed is he who waits till he reaches the thirteen hundred and thirty-five days.]] Go and wait for the end; you shall rest in the grave and then rise to enjoy your share at the end of the days." (Dan 12:12,13 Moffatt).

This means that although they have a period of waiting (for the annihilation of gog and all his hordes that oppose the Will of God and are involved in "these things"), happy are those approved by God that have not carried on (promoted) such a "disgusting thing" (Rev 21:27) that stood in a holy place during 2,300 evenings and mornings of desolating the holy place on earth, which ended January 1979. We are now in that rest or waiting period of Daniel 12:13, a period that will be cut short on account of saving the chosen ones. (Matt 24:22). Then, "immediately after the tribulation of those days", "the sun will be darkened, and the moon will not give its light". "And then the sign of the Son of man will appear in heaven… with power and great glory". "And he will send forth his angels with a great trumpet sound, and they will gather his chosen ones together from the four winds, from one extremity of the heavens to their other extremity." (Matt 24:29-31).

All these pages (777-865C) have been to expose and denounce profanations against God by those who have been apostatising themselves with "intense lovers". They are the "disgusting thing" standing in a (once) holy place, clear outside of the sanctuary of God. (Rev 11:1-3).

DANIEL 12:12,13.
Daniel himself has had centuries to wait for the time of the end of man-made kingdoms, and for the Kingdom of God that will crush the "iron" and "clay"-like powers of kingdoms today. (Dan 2:41-45). Because the vision was for the "time of the end", Daniel was not among those described as "blessed" for faithfully keeping in expectation of God and refusing to accept the teachings of the "disgusting thing" standing in authority in a holy place (until the very end of the 1,335 days and the 2,300 evenings and mornings). Daniel was, of course, no longer on earth during this time. But he will, it says, stand up for his lot (his reward) of heavenly spirit life under Christ's Kingdom at the end of the days (of this "darkness").
