Daniel 8:19-27

19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be at the end of the indignation: for at the set time the end shall be.
20 The ram that thou sawest having the two horns: they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21 And the rough goat is the king of Greece; and the great horn that was between his eyes is the first king.
22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up in its stead, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23 And at the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors shall have come to the full, a king of bold countenance, and understanding riddles, shall stand up.
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy marvellously, and shall prosper, and shall practise, and shall destroy the mighty ones, and the people of the saints.
25 And through his cunning shall he cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he will magnify [himself] in his heart, and by prosperity will corrupt many; and he will stand up against the Prince of princes: but he shall be broken without hand.
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which hath been told is true; but close thou up the vision, for it is for many days [to come].
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick [certain] days: then I rose up, and did the king's business. And I was astonished at the vision, but none understood [it].
