Book of Daniel

Daniel 7:19
19 "Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws - the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left.

Daniel 7:20
20 I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell - the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

Daniel 7:21
21 As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them,

Daniel 7:22
22 until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.

Daniel 7:23
23 "He gave me this explanation: 'The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.

Daniel 7:24
24 The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings.

Daniel 7:25
25 He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.

Daniel 7:26
26 "'But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.

Daniel 7:27
27 Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.'

Daniel 7:28
28 "This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself."

Daniel 8:1
1 In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, I, Daniel, had a vision after the one that had already appeared to me.

Daniel 8:2
2 In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa in he province of Elam; in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal.

Daniel 8:3
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.

Daniel 8:4
4 I watched the ram as he charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and none could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.

Daniel 8:5
5 As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground.

Daniel 8:6
6 He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at him in great rage.

Daniel 8:7
7 I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him; the goat knocked him to the ground and trampled on him, and none could rescue the ram from his power.

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

Daniel 8:9
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.

Daniel 8:10
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.
