Daniel 8:15-26
15When 1I, DanielH1840, had seenH7200 the visionH2377, I soughtH1245 2to understandH998 it; and beholdH2009, standingH5975 beforeH5048 me was one 3whoH4758 lookedH4758 like a 4manH1397. 16And I heardH8085 the voiceH6963 of a manH120 betweenH996 the banks of UlaiH195, and he calledH7121 outH7121 and saidH559, “5GabrielH1403, explainH995 the visionH4758 to thisH1975 man.” 17So he cameH935 nearH681 to whereH5977 I was standingH5977, and when he cameH935 I was frightenedH1204 and 6fellH5307 on my faceH6440; and he saidH559 to me, “SonH1121 of manH120, understandH995 that the visionH2377 pertains to the 7timeH6256 of the endH7093.”
18Now while he was talkingH1696 with me, I wasH7290 8dazedH7290 with my faceH6440 to the groundH776; but he 9touchedH5060 me and made me standH5975 at my placeH5977. 19And he saidH559, “BeholdH2009, I am going to 10informH3045 you of whatH834 will occurH1961 at the finalH319 periodH319 of the indignationH2195, becauseH3588 it pertains to the appointedH4150 timeH4150 of the endH7093. 20The 11ramH352 whichH834 you sawH7200 with the two hornsH7161 represents the kingsH4428 of MediaH4074 and PersiaH6539. 21The shaggyH8163 12goatH5795 represents the 13kingdomH4428 of GreeceH3120, and the largeH1419 hornH7161 that is betweenH996 his eyesH5869 is the firstH7223 kingH4428. 22The 14brokenH7665 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 15dominionH4438, When the wrongdoersH6586 have 16runH8552 their course, A kingH4428 will ariseH5975, 17InsolentH5794H6440 and skilledH995 in 18intrigueH2420.24And his powerH3581 will beH6105 mightyH6105, but not by his own powerH3581, And he will 1920destroyH7843 toH6381 anH6381 extraordinaryH6381 degreeH6381 And beH6743 successfulH6743 and doH6213 as he pleases; He will 21destroyH7843 mightyH6099 menH6099 and 22the holyH6918 peopleH5971.25And throughH5921 his shrewdnessH7922 He will makeH6743 deceitH4820 aH6743 successH6743 by his 23influenceH3027; And he will makeH1431 himself greatH1431 in his 24own mindH3824, And he will 25destroyH7843 manyH7227 while they are 26at easeH7962. He will even 2728opposeH5975H5921 the PrinceH8269 of princesH8269, But he will be brokenH7665 29withoutH657 30humanH3027 agencyH3027.26And the visionH4758 of the eveningsH6153 and morningsH1242 WhichH834 has been toldH559 is 31trueH571; But as for you, 32keepH5640 the visionH2377 secretH5640, BecauseH3588 it pertains to manyH7227 33daysH3117 in the future.”
