Berean Standard Bible
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
.
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
.
And I
saw
in a
vision ;
and
it
came
to
pass,
when
I saw ,
that
I
was
at
Shushan
in the palace
, which
is
in the province of Elam ;
and
I saw in a
vision ,
and
I was by
the river
of
Ulai.
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
.
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
.
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
.
I saw the ram pushing
westward,
and northward,
and southward;
so
that
no beasts
might
stand before
him, neither
was
there any
that
could
deliver
out
of
his hand;
but
he did according
to
his
will,
and became great.
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.
And
as I was considering,
behold
, an
he
goat came from
the west on
the face
of the whole
earth ,
and
touched
not
the ground :
and
the
goat
had
a
notable
horn
between
his
eyes
.
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
he came to
the ram
that
had
two horns,
which
I had seen standing before
the river,
and ran
unto
him in
the
fury
of
his
power.
He came toward
the two -horned
ram
I had seen standing beside
the canal
and rushed
at
him with
furious
power.
And
I saw him come
close
unto
the ram ,
and
he
was
moved
with
choler
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 stamped
upon
him :
and there
was
none
that
could deliver the ram out
of
his hand
.
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
.
Therefore
the he
goat waxed
very great :
and
when
he
was
strong
, the great
horn was broken ;
and for
it
came up four
notable
ones
toward the four winds of heaven.
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
out
of
one of them
came
forth
a little horn ,
which
waxed
exceeding
great,
toward the south ,
and toward
the east ,
and toward the pleasant
land.
From
one of these
horns
a little horn emerged
and
grew
extensively
toward the south and the east and toward the Beautiful
Land.
And
it waxed
great,
even
to
the host of heaven ;
and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground
, and stamped
upon
them.
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,
he
magnified himself
even to the prince of the host ,
and
by
him
the
daily sacrifice was
taken
away,
and the place of the
sanctuary was
cast
down
.
It
magnified itself,
even to the Prince of the host ;
it
removed
His
daily sacrifice and overthrew
the place of His
sanctuary.
And an
host was
given
him
against
the daily sacrifice by
reason
of
transgression
, and it cast
down
the
truth to the ground ;
and it
practised,
and
prospered.
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
.
Then I heard one saint
speaking, and another saint
said unto
that
certain
saint
which
spake
, How long shall
be
the vision concerning
the daily sacrifice, and
the transgression
of
desolation, to
give
both
the sanctuary and the host to be trodden
under
foot
?
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
he said unto
me, Unto
two
thousand
and three
hundred
days
; then shall
the sanctuary be cleansed
.
He said to
me, “It
will
take
2,300
evenings
and mornings
; then the sanctuary will
be properly
restored
. ”
And
it
came
to
pass,
when
I, even
I
Daniel, had
seen
the vision ,
and sought
for
the
meaning,
then,
behold
, there stood before me as
the appearance of a man.
While
I, Daniel, was
watching
the vision and trying
to
understand
it
, there stood before me one
having
the appearance of a man.
And I heard a
man's
voice between the banks of Ulai ,
which
called,
and
said,
Gabriel, make
this
man
to
understand
the vision.
And I heard the
voice of
a
man
calling
from
between the banks of the
Ulai :
“
Gabriel, explain
the vision to
this
man
. ”
So
he came near where I stood :
and
when
he
came
, I was afraid,
and fell upon
my
face:
but
he said unto
me, Understand ,
O
son
of
man:
for
at
the time of the end shall
be
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. ”
Now
as
he was speaking with me, I was
in
a deep sleep on
my face toward
the ground :
but
he touched me, and
set
me upright.
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 he
said, Behold, I will make thee
know
what shall
be
in the last
end
of the
indignation:
for
at
the time
appointed the end shall
be
.
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.
The ram
which
thou
sawest
having
two horns
are
the kings of Media and Persia.
The two -horned
ram
that
you
saw
represents
the kings of Media and Persia.
And
the rough
goat is
the king of Grecia:
and the great
horn that
is
between his eyes is the first king.
The shaggy
goat represents
the king of Greece,
and the large
horn between his eyes is the first king.
Now
that being
broken ,
whereas
four
stood
up
for
it,
four kingdoms shall
stand
up
out
of
the
nation, but not in
his
power.
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
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
.
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
his power shall
be mighty
, but not by
his own power:
and
he shall
destroy
wonderfully,
and
shall
prosper,
and
practise,
and shall
destroy the mighty and
the holy people.
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
through his policy
also
he shall
cause craft
to prosper in his hand;
and
he shall
magnify
himself in his
heart,
and
by
peace shall
destroy many :
he shall
also
stand up
against the Prince of princes ;
but
he shall
be broken without
hand
.
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
the vision of the evening
and the morning
which
was
told
is true :
wherefore
shut
thou
up the vision ;
for it shall
be
for
many
days
.
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
I Daniel fainted
, and
was sick
certain
days ;
afterward
I rose
up ,
and did
the king's
business ;
and
I was astonished
at
the vision ,
but
none
understood
it.
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
.
