In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar ,
a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent
to
the
one
that had
appeared to me earlier
.
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, even
to
me,
Daniel, after
that which
appeared to me at
the
first
.
And
in the vision I saw myself
in the citadel
of
Susa
, in the province of Elam .
I saw in the vision that
I was beside
the Ulai Canal
.
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.
Then I lifted up my eyes and saw a ram with
two horns standing
beside
the
canal.
The horns were long,
but one was longer
than the other, and the longer
one
grew
up later
.
Then I lifted up my 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
.
I saw the ram charging
toward
the
west
and the
north
and the
south.
No animal
could stand against
him, and
there
was no
deliverance
from
his power.
He did as
he
pleased
and became
great
.
I saw the ram pushing
westward,
and northward,
and southward;
and
no animals
could stand before
him, neither
was there
any
who
could
deliver
out
of
his hand;
but
he did according
to
his
will,
and magnified
himself
.
As I was contemplating
all
this
, suddenly
a goat with
a
prominent
horn
between
his
eyes
came out
of
the west ,
crossing
the surface of the entire
earth without
touching
the ground.
As I was considering
, behold,
a male
goat came from
the west over
the surface of the whole
earth ,
and
didn't
touch
the ground :
and
the
goat
had
a
notable
horn
between
his
eyes
.
He came toward
the two-horned
ram I
had seen
standing beside
the canal
and rushed
at
him with
furious
power.
He came to
the ram that
had the
two
horns,
which
I
saw
standing before
the river,
and ran
on
him in
the
fury
of
his
power.
I saw him approach
the ram in
a
rage
against him, and he
struck the ram and shattered
his two horns .
The ram was
powerless
to stand against
him ,
and
the
goat
threw
him to the ground and trampled him ,
and no
one
could deliver the ram from
his power
.
I saw him come
close
to
the ram ,
and
he
was
moved
with
anger
against him, and struck the ram ,
and broke
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 on
him ;
and there
was
none
who
could deliver the ram out
of
his hand
.
Thus
the goat became
very
great
, but
at
the height
of
his
power,
his
large
horn was broken off,
and four
prominent
horns
came up in
its
place,
pointing
toward the four winds of heaven
.
The male
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 the
sky
.
From
one of these
horns
a little horn emerged
and
grew extensively
toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful
Land.
Out
of
one of them
came
forth
a little horn ,
which
grew exceeding
great,
toward the south ,
and toward
the east ,
and toward the glorious
[
land ]
.
It grew as
high
as
the host of heaven,
and it
cast
down
some of the host and some
of the stars to the earth
, and trampled them.
It grew great,
even
to
the host of the
sky;
and some of the host and of the stars it
cast
down
to the ground
, and trampled on
them.
It magnified itself, even to the Prince of the host; it removed
His
daily
sacrifice
and overthrew
the place of His sanctuary.
Yes,
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
.
And
in
the rebellion,
the
host and
the
daily
sacrifice
were
given over to the horn,
and it flung
truth to the ground and prospered
in
whatever
it did.
The host was
given over [
to it]
together
with
the continual
[burnt
offering]
through
disobedience;
and it cast
down
truth to the ground ,
and it did [its
pleasure]
and
prospered
.
Then I heard a holy one speaking ,
and another holy one said to him
, “
How long until
the
fulfillment
of
the vision of
the daily
sacrifice
, the rebellion
that causes
desolation
, and
the
surrender
of
the sanctuary and of
the host to be trampled
? ”
Then I heard a holy one speaking ;
and another holy one said to that
certain
one
who
spoke
, How long shall
be
the vision [concerning]
the continual
[burnt-offering]
, and
the disobedience
that makes
desolate
, to
give
both
the sanctuary and the host to be trodden
under
foot
?
He said to me, “It
will
take
2,300
evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will
be properly
restored
. ”
He said to me, To
two
thousand
and
three
hundred
evenings [
and ]
mornings; then shall
the sanctuary be cleansed
.
While
I, Daniel, was
watching
the vision and
trying
to understand it, there stood before me one
having
the appearance of a man.
It
happened,
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.
And
I heard the
voice
of
a man
calling
from
between the banks of the Ulai :
“
Gabriel, explain
the
vision
to
this man. ”
I heard a man's
voice
between [
the banks of ]
the Ulai ,
which
called,
and
said,
Gabriel, make
this man to
understand
the
vision
.
As
he came near to
where I stood, I was terrified
and fell facedown.
“Son
of
man,”
he said to me, “
understand that
the vision concerns
the time of the end. ”
So
he came near where I stood ;
and
when
he
came
, I was frightened,
and fell on
my
face:
but
he said to me, Understand ,
son
of
man;
for
the vision belongs
to
the time of the end.
While
he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep ,
with my face to
the ground .
Then
he touched me, helped
me to
my
feet,
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.
and
said, “
Behold, I will make known
to
you what will
happen
in the latter time of wrath,
because
it concerns
the appointed time of the end.
He
said, Behold, I will make you know
what shall
be
in the latter time of the
indignation;
for
it belongs
to
the appointed time of the end.
The two-horned
ram that
you saw represents
the kings of Media and Persia.
The ram which
you saw ,
that
had
the two
horns,
they
are
the
kings of Media and Persia.
The shaggy
goat represents
the king of Greece ,
and the large
horn between his eyes is the first king.
The rough
male
goat is
the king of Greece :
and the great
horn that
is
between his eyes is the first king.
The
four
horns
that replaced
the
broken one
represent
four kingdoms that
will
rise
from
that
nation, but will
not have
the
same
power.
As
for
that which
was
broken ,
in
the
place
where
four stood
up,
four
kingdoms shall
stand
up
out
of
the
nation, but not with
his
power.
In the latter part
of their reign
, when the rebellion
has
reached
its
full measure
, an
insolent
king, skilled
in
intrigue
, will
come
to
the
throne
.
In the latter time
of their kingdom
, when the transgressors
are
come
to
the
full, a
king of
fierce
face
, and
understanding
dark
sentences
, shall
stand
up
.
His power will
be great
, but it
will
not be
his own .
He
will
cause
terrible
destruction
and succeed
in
whatever
he does.
He will
destroy the mighty men
along
with
the holy people.
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.
Through his craft
and
by
his
hand,
he will
cause deceit
to prosper ,
and
in his own
mind
he will
make
himself great.
In a
time
of
peace
he will
destroy many ,
and
he will
even
stand against the Prince of princes .
Yet
he will
be broken off,
but
not
by
human
hands
.
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
.
The vision of the evenings and the
mornings that
has been spoken
is true .
Now
you
must
seal up the vision ,
for it concerns
the
distant
future
. ”
The vision of the evenings and mornings which
has been told
is true :
but
seal up the vision ;
for it belongs
to
many
days
[to
come]
.
I, Daniel, was
exhausted
and lay
ill
for
days .
Then I got
up and went
about
the king’s
business .
I was
confounded
by
the vision ;
it was
beyond
understanding
.
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.
