8 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me, Daniel, following the former vision. 2 What I saw in the vision was this. I was in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam, and in my vision I saw myself beside the river Ulai. 3 When I looked up, there in front of the river stood a ram with two horns, two high horns, but one of them was higher than the other, and the higher came up last! 4 I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward; no animal could hold its own against him, and none could be rescued from him; he did as he pleased, and he magnified himself. 5 As I was brooding over this, a he-goat from the west pushed over the whole world, scouring the earth swiftly without touching it. The goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes. 6 When he reached the ram with the two horns, which I saw standing in front of the river, the goat ran at him in the fury of his might; 7 I saw him reach the ram and then, in a fit of mad rage, he charged the ram and broke his two horns; the ram had not the power to oppose him but was flung to the ground and trampled down, with none to rescue him. 8 Then the he-goat magnified himself mightily. But, at the height of his power, his large horn was broken, and in its place four other horns emerged, pointing to the four winds of heaven. 9 From one of these emerged a small horn which grew to a great size in the direction of the south, the east, and the fair land of Palestine. 10 It swelled high as the starry host; indeed, it flung some of the stars on high down to the ground and trampled on them. 11 It even magnified itself to match the Prince of the starry host, and deprived him of the daily sacrifice, demolishing the 12 place of his sanctuary. Thus was the daily sacrifice profanely treated, the true religion was beaten down, and the horn prospered in its career.
13 Then I overheard an angel speaking, and another angel said to the speaker, “How long is this to last, this that we see, the daily sacrifice stopped, the appalling sacrilege, the trampling down of the sanctuary and the starry host?” 14 The answer was, “For two thousand three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be restored.”
15 Now when I Daniel saw the vision, I tried to understand it. Suddenly a human-like figure appeared in front of me, 16 and I heard a human voice over the water of the Ulai calling to it, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.” 17 So he came forward to where I was standing; as he came near, I was terrified and dropped on my face. He said to me, “Understand the vision, O son of man, for it relates to the crisis at the close.”
18 I fell into a dead faint, with my face upon the ground, as he spoke to me; but he touched me and set me erect, 19 saying to me, “Come, I will let you know what is to happen during the closing days of the wrath divine, for the vision relates to the crisis at the close. 20 The two horns of the ram you saw are the kingdoms of Media and Persia; 21 the he-goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king of Greece. 22 As for the four horns which rose in place of the broken horn, four kingdoms shall rise out of the Greek nation, but with less power. 23 In the later period of their power, when guilt is at the full, there shall arise a king who is defiant, 24 a master of craft (by no force of arms shall he gain his great power); he shall make monstrous claims and prosper in his policy, destroying his powerful foes. 25 His designs shall be directed against the sacred people, and he shall ply his intrigues successfully; he shall plot proud plans and ruin many when they are off their guard; he shall even challenge the Prince of the angel-princes, but by a stroke from no human hand shall he be shattered. 26 The vision of the evenings and the mornings which has been told is true. But keep the vision a secret, for it relates to the far future,”
27 At this I Daniel was for some days ill; after which I rose and went about the king’s business. I was appalled at the vision; I could not understand it.
