from the first, and he shall subdue three kings.
25
And he shall speak
great
words against the most
High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they
shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time.
26
But the judgment
shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy
it
unto the end.
27
And
the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be
given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom
is
an everlasting kingdom, and
all dominions shall serve and obey him.
28
Hitherto
is
the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my
cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my
heart.
CHAPTER 8
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.
2
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.
3
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.
4
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.
5
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.
6
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.
7
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.
8
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.
9
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.
10
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.
11
Yea, he magnified
himself
even to the prince of
the host, and by him the daily
sacrifice
was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast
down.
12
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.
13
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?
14
And he said unto me, Unto two
thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
