Daniel 8:10-26

Daniel 8:10-26

[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  [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.  [15] 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.  [16] And I heard  a man's  voice  between the banks of Ulai,  which called,  and said,  Gabriel,  make this  man to understand  the vision.  [17] So he came  near  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.  [18] 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  [19] 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  [20] The ram  which thou sawest  having  two horns  are the kings  of Media  and Persia.  [21] And the rough  goat  is the king  of Grecia:  and the great  horn  that is between his eyes  is the first  king.  [22] Now that being broken,  whereas four  stood up  for it, four  kingdoms  shall stand up  out of the nation,  but not in his power.  [23] 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.  [24] 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.  [25] 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  but he shall be broken  without  hand.  [26] 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.
