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 Belshazzar the
king
, a vision hath
appeared unto
me --
I
Daniel --
after
that which
had appeared unto
me at
the
beginning
.
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
.
And I
see
in a
vision ,
and
it
cometh
to
pass,
in
my
seeing,
and
I `am'
in Shushan
the palace
that
`is'
in Elam
the province ,
and
I see
in a
vision ,
and
I have
been
by
the stream
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
.
And
I lift
up mine
eyes ,
and look,
and
lo,
a certain
ram is
standing before
the stream,
and
it
hath
two
horns, and
the
two
horns
`are'
high;
and
the
one `is'
higher
than the other, and the high
one is
coming
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 have
seen
the ram pushing
westward,
and northward,
and southward,
and
no living
creatures
do
stand before
it
, and there is
none
delivering
out
of
its
hand,
and it
hath
done
according
to
its
pleasure,
and
hath
exerted
itself
.
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
.
`And
I have
been
considering
, and
lo,
a young
he-
goat hath
come
from
the west, over
the face
of the whole
earth ,
whom
none
is
touching in
the earth;
as
to
the
young
he-goat,
a
conspicuous
horn
`is'
between
its
eyes
.
He
came
toward
the two-horned
ram I had seen standing beside
the canal
and rushed
at
him
with
furious
power.
And
it
cometh
unto
the ram possessing
the
two
horns,
that
I had seen standing before
the stream,
and runneth
unto
it
in
the
fury
of
its
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.
And
I have
seen
it
coming
near
the ram, and it
becometh
embittered
at
it,
and
smiteth
the ram ,
and breaketh
its
two horns ,
and
there
hath
been
no
power
in
the ram to stand before
it
, and it
casteth
it
to the earth,
and trampleth
it
down
, and there
hath
been
no deliverer
to
the ram out
of
its
power.
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
.
`And
the young
he-
goat hath
exerted
itself
very much
, and
when
it
is
strong
, broken hath
been
the
great
horn;
and come
up doth
a
vision
of
four
in its place, at
the four winds of the
heavens
.
From one of these
horns
a little horn emerged
and grew
extensively
toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful
Land .
And
from the
one of them
come
forth
hath
a little horn ,
and it
exerteth
itself
greatly
toward the south ,
and toward
the east ,
and toward the beauteous
`
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.
yea,
it exerteth
unto
the host of the
heavens
, and causeth
to
fall
to
the
earth
of the host ,
and of the stars, and trampleth
them down
.
It
magnified
itself,
even
to
the Prince of the host ;
it removed
His
daily
sacrifice and overthrew
the place
of His sanctuary.
And
unto
the prince of the host it exerteth
itself,
and
by
it
taken
away
hath
been
the
continual
`
sacrifice ',
and thrown
down
the base
of his sanctuary.
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
.
And the host is
given up,
with
the continual
`sacrifice'
, through
transgression,
and it throweth
down
truth to the earth,
and it hath
worked,
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
? ”
`And
I hear
a certain
holy one speaking, and a
certain
holy one saith
to the wonderful
numberer
who
is
speaking:
Till
when
`is'
the vision of the continual
`
sacrifice '
, and of the transgression,
an
astonishment,
to
make
both
sanctuary and host a
treading
down
?
He said
to
me, “It
will
take
2,300
evenings
and mornings;
then the sanctuary
will
be
properly
restored
. ”
And
he saith
unto
me, Till
evening
--
morning
two
thousand
and three
hundred,
then is
the holy
place
declared
right
.
While
I, Daniel ,
was
watching
the vision and trying
to
understand
it
, there
stood
before
me one
having
the appearance of a man
.
`And
it
cometh
to
pass
in
my
seeing
--
I, Daniel --
the vision ,
that
I
require
understanding,
and lo
, standing
over-against
me `is'
as
the appearance of a mighty
one
.
And I heard
the
voice of a
man calling
from
between the banks of the
Ulai: “
Gabriel, explain
the
vision
to
this man
. ”
And I hear
a
voice of man between `
the banks of '
Ulai ,
and
he
calleth
and
saith
: Gabriel, cause
this `one'
to
understand
the
appearance
.
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. ”
And
he cometh
in
near my
station,
and
at
his
coming
in
I have
been
afraid
, and
I fall
on
my
face,
and he
saith
unto
me:
Understand,
son of man, for
at
the time of the end `is'
the
vision
.
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
,
And
in
his
speaking with me, I have
been
in
a trance
on
my face ,
on
the earth;
and
he cometh
against
me, and
causeth
me to stand
on
my station
,
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.
and saith:
Lo
, I --
I
am
causing
thee
to know
that
which
is
in the latter end
of the
indignation;
for
, at
the appointed time `is'
the end.
The two-horned
ram that you
saw
represents
the kings of Media and Persia.
`
The ram that thou
hast
seen
possessing
two
horns,
`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 .
And
the young
he-
goat ,
the hairy
one,
`is'
the
king of Javan;
and the great
horn that
`is'
between its
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.
and
that being
broken ,
stand
up
do
four in
its
place,
four
kingdoms from the
nation do
stand
up
, and
not in
its
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.
`And
in the latter end
of their kingdom
, about
the perfecting
of
the
transgressors
, stand
up
doth
a
king, fierce
of
face
, and
understanding
hidden
things;
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.
and
his power hath
been
mighty
, and
not by
his own power;
and wonderful
things
he destroyeth,
and
he hath
prospered,
and
wrought,
and
destroyed
mighty ones,
and
the people of
the
Holy
Ones
.
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
.
`
And by his understanding
he hath
also
caused
deceit to prosper in
his
hand
, and in his heart
he exerteth
himself, and by
ease
he destroyeth
many;
and
against the prince of princes he standeth
--
and
without
hand
he
is
broken.
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
. ”
And
the appearance
of the evening
and of
the morning,
that is told,
is
true ;
and
thou,
hide
thou
the vision, for `
it is'
after
many
days
. '
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.
And
I, Daniel, have
been,
yea,
I
became
sick
`
for '
days ,
and
I rise,
and do
the king's
work,
and
am
astonished
at
the appearance,
and
there
is
none
understanding.
