Daniel 8:8. Therefore the male goat
became very great: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken;
and in it's place came up four notable ones toward the four winds of
heaven. 9. And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which grew
exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the
pleasant land. 10. And it grew great, even to the army of heaven; and it
cast down some of the army and of the stars to the ground, and stamped
upon them. 11. Yes, he magnified himself even to the ruler of the army,
and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his
sanctuary was cast down. 12. And an army was given him against the daily
sacrifice by reason of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the
ground; and it practiced, and prospered. ......15. And it
came to pass, when I, Daniel, had seen the vision, and sought for
the meaning, then, look, 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 understand the vision.
..... but he said to me, Understand, O son of man: for
at
the time of the end shall the vision be. .....
19. And he said, look, I will make you
understand what shall be in the final period of wrath: for at the
time appointed the end shall be...... 21. And the rough goat is
the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the
first king. 22. Now that being broken, whereas four stood in its place,
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 expression, skilled in intrigues,
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
accomplish, 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 of princes; but he shall be
broken without hand. 26. And the vision of the evening and the morning
which was told is true: wherefore shut up the vision; for it shall be
for many days. 27. And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days;
afterward I rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished
at the vision, but none understood it.
