Daniel 8:14-26

14And he saidH559 to me, “For 12,300H505H7969H3967 eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242; then the sanctuaryH6944 will be 2properlyH6663 restoredH6663.”

15When 3I, DanielH1840, had seenH7200 the visionH2377, I soughtH1245 4to understandH998 it; and beholdH2009, standingH5975 beforeH5048 me was one 5whoH4758 lookedH4758 like a 6manH1397. 16And I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of a manH120 betweenH996 the banks of UlaiH195, and he calledH7121 outH7121 and saidH559, “7GabrielH1403, explainH995 the visionH4758 to thisH1975 man.” 17So he cameH935 nearH681 to whereH5977 I was standingH5977, and when he cameH935 I was frightenedH1204 and 8fellH5307 on my faceH6440; and he saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, understandH995 that the visionH2377 pertains to the 9timeH6256 of the endH7093.”

18Now while he was talkingH1696 with me, I wasH7290 10dazedH7290 with my faceH6440 to the groundH776; but he 11touchedH5060 me and made me standH5975 at my placeH5977. 19And he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I am going to 12informH3045 you of whatH834 will occurH1961 at the finalH319 periodH319 of the indignationH2195, becauseH3588 it pertains to the appointedH4150 timeH4150 of the endH7093. 20The 13ramH352 whichH834 you sawH7200 with the two hornsH7161 represents the kingsH4428 of MediaH4074 and PersiaH6539. 21The shaggyH8163 14goatH5795 represents the 15kingdomH4428 of GreeceH3120, and the largeH1419 hornH7161 that is betweenH996 his eyesH5869 is the firstH7223 kingH4428. 22The 16brokenH7665 horn and the fourH702 horns that cameH5975 upH5975 inH8478 its placeH8478 represent fourH702 kingdomsH4438 which will ariseH5975 from his nationH1471, although not with his powerH3581.23And in the latterH319 periodH319 of their 17dominionH4438, When the wrongdoersH6586 have 18runH8552 their course, A kingH4428 will ariseH5975, 19InsolentH5794H6440 and skilledH995 in 20intrigueH2420.24And his powerH3581 will beH6105 mightyH6105, but not by his own powerH3581, And he will 2122destroyH7843 toH6381 anH6381 extraordinaryH6381 degreeH6381 And beH6743 successfulH6743 and doH6213 as he pleases; He will 23destroyH7843 mightyH6099 menH6099 and 24the holyH6918 peopleH5971.25And throughH5921 his shrewdnessH7922 He will makeH6743 deceitH4820 aH6743 successH6743 by his 25influenceH3027; And he will makeH1431 himself greatH1431 in his 26own mindH3824, And he will 27destroyH7843 manyH7227 while they are 28at easeH7962. He will even 2930opposeH5975H5921 the PrinceH8269 of princesH8269, But he will be brokenH7665 31withoutH657 32humanH3027 agencyH3027.26And the visionH4758 of the eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242 WhichH834 has been toldH559 is 33trueH571; But as for you, 34keepH5640 the visionH2377 secretH5640, BecauseH3588 it pertains to manyH7227 35daysH3117 in the future.”
