Daniel 8

Jubilee Bible 2000 JUB

1 In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, Daniel, after that <em>vision</em> which had appeared unto me before.

2 And I saw in <em>the</em> vision; (and it came to pass, when I saw it, that I <em>was</em> at Shushan, which is <em>the</em> head of the kingdom in the province of Persia); so that I saw in that vision, being by the river of Ulai,

3 and I lifted up my eyes and saw, and, behold, a ram was standing before the river, which had two horns; and even though they were high, the one <em>was</em> higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

4 I saw that the ram smote with the horns to the west, to the north, and to the south and that no beast could stand before him, nor could anyone escape from his hand; but he did according to his will and made himself great.

5 And as I was considering, behold, a he goat came from the west upon the face of the whole earth and did not touch the earth: and the goat <em>had</em> a notable horn between his eyes.

6 And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which <em>I</em> had seen standing before the river and ran against him in the fury of his power.

7 And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he rose up against him and smote him, and broke his two horns: because the ram did not have the strength to stand before him; therefore he cast him down to the ground and trod him under; and there was no one to deliver the ram out of his hand.

8 And the he goat made himself very great, and when he was at his greatest strength, that great horn was broken; and in its place came up another four marvellous ones toward the four winds of heaven.

9 And out of the first of them came forth a little horn, which grew much toward the south and toward the east and toward the desirable <em>land</em>.

10 And it magnified itself unto the host of heaven, and it cast down <em>part</em> of the host and of the stars to the ground and trod them under.

11 Even <em>against</em> the prince of the host did he magnify himself, and by him the daily <em>sacrifice</em> was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast to <em>the</em> earth.

12 And the host was given over by reason of the prevarication upon the daily <em>sacrifice</em>; and he cast the truth to the ground; and he did <em>whatever he would</em> and prospered.

13 Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto the one which spoke, How long <em>shall</em> the vision of the daily <em>sacrifice last</em> and the prevarication of desolation that places <em>both</em> the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred <em>days of</em> evening and morning; then shall the sanctuary be justified.

15 And it came to pass, as I, Daniel, was considering the vision and seeking to understand it, behold, there stood before me the likeness of a man.

16 And I heard a man’s voice between <em>the banks of the</em> Ulai, which called and said, Gabriel, teach this <em>man</em> the vision.

17 So he came near where I stood, and with his coming, I was afraid and fell upon my face; and he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the time appointed <em>by God</em> the vision shall be fulfilled.

18 Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a <em>deep</em> sleep on the ground upon my face; and he touched me and changed my state.

19 And he said, Behold, I will show thee that <em>which</em> is to come in the last end of the wrath; for at the time appointed <em>this</em> shall be fulfilled.

20 The ram which thou didst see having <em>two</em> horns <em>are</em> the kings of Media and Persia.

21 And the he goat <em>is</em> the king of Grecia, and the great horn that he <em>had</em> between his eyes <em>is</em> the first king.

22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up in its place, <em>means that</em> four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his strength.

23 And at the end of their empire, when the prevaricators are come to the full, a king of arrogant countenance and expert in enigmas shall raise <em>himself</em> up.

24 And his power shall be strengthened, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy marvellously and shall prosper and do <em>according to his will</em> and shall destroy the mighty and the people of the saints.

25 And with his understanding he shall cause the deceit in his hand to prosper, and he shall magnify <em>himself</em> in his heart, and by peace he shall destroy many; he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes, and without hand he shall be broken.

26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told <em>is</em> true; therefore shut thou up the vision; for it <em>shall be</em> for many days.

27 And I Daniel was broken and was sick <em>certain</em> days; and after I rose up, I did the king’s business; but I was astonished at the vision, and there was no one who could understand it.

New International Version NIV

1 In the third year of King Belshazzar’s reign, I, Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me.

2 In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam; in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal.

3 I looked up, and there before me was a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the horns were long. One of the horns was longer than the other but grew up later.

4 I watched the ram as it charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against it, and none could rescue from its power. It did as it pleased and became great.

5 As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between its eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground.

6 It came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at it in great rage.

7 I saw it attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering its two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against it; the goat knocked it to the ground and trampled on it, and none could rescue the ram from its power.

8 The goat became very great, but at the height of its power the large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.

9 Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.

10 It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them.

11 It set itself up to be as great as the commander of the army of the LORD; it took away the daily sacrifice from the LORD, and his sanctuary was thrown down.

12 Because of rebellion, the LORD’s people and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground.

13 Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot of the LORD’s people?”

14 He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”

15 While I, Daniel, was watching the vision and trying to understand it, there before me stood one who looked like a man.

16 And I heard a man’s voice from the Ulai calling, “Gabriel, tell this man the meaning of the vision.”

17 As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate. “Son of man,” he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”

18 While he was speaking to me, I was in a deep sleep, with my face to the ground. Then he touched me and raised me to my feet.

19 He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath, because the vision concerns the appointed time of the end.

20 The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.

21 The shaggy goat is the king of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is the first king.

22 The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.

23 “In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.

24 He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.

25 He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.

26 “The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.”

27 I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
