Daniel 8:1
|
|
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar
a vision appeared unto me, even unto me, Daniel, after that which appeared unto
me at the first. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:2
|
|
And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that
when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and
I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:3
|
|
Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold,
there stood before the river a ram which had two horns: and the two horns were
high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher came up last. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:4
|
|
I
saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could
stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but
he did according to his will, and magnified himself. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:5
|
|
And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat
came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground:
and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:6
|
|
And he came to the ram that had the two horns,
which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.
|
|
|
|
Daniel 8:7
|
|
And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he
was moved with anger against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns;
and there was no power in the ram to stand before him; but he cast him down to
the ground, and trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram
out of his hand. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:8
|
|
And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly:
and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came
up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:9
|
|
And out of one of them came forth a little horn,
which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward
the glorious land. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:10
|
|
And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven;
and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled
upon them. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:11
|
|
Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince
of the host; and it took away from him the continual burnt-offering, and the place
of his sanctuary was cast down. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:12
|
|
And the host was given over to it together with
the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to
the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:13
|
|
Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another
holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision concerning
the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give
both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:14
|
|
And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three
hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:15
|
|
And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel,
had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood
before me as the appearance of a man. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:16
|
|
And I heard a man's voice between the banks
of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the
vision. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:17
|
|
So he came near where I stood; and when he came,
I was affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son
of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:18
|
|
Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into
a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:19
|
|
And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what
shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed
time of the end. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:20
|
|
The ram which thou sawest, that had the two
horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:21
|
|
And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece:
and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:22
|
|
And as for that which was broken, in the place
whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not
with his power. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:23
|
|
And in the latter time of their kingdom, when
the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding
dark sentences, shall stand up. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:24
|
|
And his power shall be mighty, but not by his
own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do his pleasure;
and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:25
|
|
And through his policy he shall cause craft
to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in their
security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes;
but he shall be broken without hand. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:26
|
|
And the vision of the evenings and mornings
which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to
many days to come. |
|
|
|
Daniel 8:27
|
|
And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain
days; then I rose up, and did the king's business: and I wondered at the vision,
but none understood it. |
