lesserot@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar the king of Babylon, Daniel saw a dream and the visions of his head while on his couch: afterward he wrote down the dream, relating the principal things.

lesserot@Daniel:7:2 @ Daniel commenced and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of heaven blew fiercely on the great sea.

lesserot@Daniel:7:3 @ And four great beasts came up from the sea, differing one from another.

lesserot@Daniel:7:4 @ the first was like a lion, and had eagles wings: I looked till its wings were plucked out, and it was lifted up from the earth, and was placed upon its feet as a man, and a human heart was given to it.

lesserot@Daniel:7:5 @ And behold there was another, a second beast, like a bear, and on one side was it placed, with three ribs in its mouth between its teeth: and thus they said unto it, Arise, eat much flesh.

lesserot@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I looked, and lo there was another, like a leopard; and it had four wings of a bird on its back: the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given unto it.

lesserot@Daniel:7:7 @ After this I looked in the night visions, and behold there was a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth: it devoured and ground up, and what was left it stamped with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.

lesserot@Daniel:7:8 @ I looked carefully at the horns, and, behold, another little horn came up between them, and three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots before the same; and, behold, there were eyes like the eyes of man in this horn, with a mouth speaking presumptuous things.

lesserot@Daniel:7:9 @ I was looking until chairs were set down, and an Ancient of days seated himself, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of whose head was like clean wool; his chair was like flames of fire, and his wheels like fire that burnt;

lesserot@Daniel:7:10 @ A stream of fire issued and came forth from before him; thousand times thousands ministered unto him, and myriad times myriads stood before him: they sat down to hold judgment, and the books were opened.

lesserot@Daniel:7:11 @ I looked then, because of the sound of the presumptuous words which the horn had spoken,I looked till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and given over to the burning fire.

lesserot@Daniel:7:12 @ But concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away: yet a longer duration of life was given unto them until the time and period.

lesserot@Daniel:7:13 @ I looked in the nightly visions, and, behold, with the clouds of heaven came one like a son of man, and he attained as far as the Ancient of days, and they brought him near before him.

lesserot@Daniel:7:14 @ And there were given him dominion, and dignity, and government, and all people, nations, and languages had to serve him: his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom is one which shall never be destroyed.

lesserot@Daniel:7:15 @ My spirit was deeply shaken within me, Daniel, in the midst of its tenement, and the visions of my head troubled me.

lesserot@Daniel:7:16 @ I came near unto one of those that stood by, and asked him something certain concerning all this: and he spoke to me, and made known unto me the interpretation of the things.

lesserot@Daniel:7:17 @ These great beasts, of which there are four, are four kings, who are to arise on the earth.

lesserot@Daniel:7:18 @ But the saints of the Most High will obtain the kingdom, and possess the kingdom to eternity, even to all eternity for ever.

lesserot@Daniel:7:19 @ Then I desired what is certain concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all these others, exceedingly dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and whose nails of copper; which devoured, ground up, and stamped with its feet what was left;

lesserot@Daniel:7:20 @ And concerning the ten horns that were in its head, and concerning the other which came up, and before which three fell down, even concerning that horn which had eyes, and a mouth which spoke presumptuous things, and whose appearance was greater than that of its companions.

lesserot@Daniel:7:21 @ I had seen how the same horn had made war with the saints, and had prevailed against them:

lesserot@Daniel:7:22 @ Until the Ancient of days came, and procured justice unto the saints of the Most High; and the time came and the saints took possession of the kingdom.

lesserot@Daniel:7:23 @ Thus said he, The fourth beast a fourth kingdom will be upon earth, which is to be different from all kingdoms, and will devour all the earth, and will tread it down, and grind it up.

lesserot@Daniel:7:24 @ And the ten horns out of this kingdom that ten kings will arise; and another will rise after them, and he will be different from the first, and three kings will he bring low.

lesserot@Daniel:7:25 @ And he will speak words against the Most High, and the saints of the Most High will he oppress, and think to change the festivals and the law: and they will be given up into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

lesserot@Daniel:7:26 @ But they will sit down to hold judgment, and they will take away his dominion, to destroy and to annihilate it unto the end.

lesserot@Daniel:7:27 @ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the power over the kingdoms under the whole heaven, will be given to the people of the saints of the Most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all governments are to worship and obey him.

lesserot@Daniel:7:28 @ Thus far is the end of the speech. As for me Daniel, my reflections troubled me greatly, and my color was changed on me; but I kept the speech in my heart.

lesserot@Daniel:8:1 @ In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me, to me Daniel, after that which had appeared unto me at the first.

lesserot@Daniel:8:2 @ And I saw in the visionand it came to pass, in my seeing, that I was at Shushan the capital, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, as though I was by the river Ulai.

lesserot@Daniel:8:3 @ And I lifted up my eyes, and saw, and, behold, there was a ram standing before the river, and he had two horns; and the horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

lesserot@Daniel:8:4 @ I saw the ram butting westward, and northward, and southward; so that all the beasts could not stand before him, and no one was there to deliver out of his hand: and he did according to his will, and became great.

lesserot@Daniel:8:5 @ And as I was looking attentively, behold, there came a shaggy, hegoat from the west over the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a sightly large horn between his eyes.

lesserot@Daniel:8:6 @ And he came as far as the ram that had two horns, that I had seen standing before the river, and ran at him with his furious power.

lesserot@Daniel:8:7 @ And I saw him coming close unto the ram, and he became bitterly enraged against him, and he struck the ram, and broke his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand forward before him: and he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him; and there was no one to deliver the ram out of his hand.

lesserot@Daniel:8:8 @ And the shaggy hegoat became very great: but when he was grown strong, the great horn was broken; and there came up four slightly large ones in its place toward the four winds of heaven.

lesserot@Daniel:8:9 @ And out of them came forth a little horn, which became exceedingly great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the glorious land.

lesserot@Daniel:8:10 @ And it became great, even up to the host of the heavens; and it cast down to the ground some of the host and of the stars, and trod them under foot.

lesserot@Daniel:8:11 @ Yea, it magnified itself even up to the prince of the host, and by it the continual sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.

lesserot@Daniel:8:12 @ And the host is given up together with the continual sacrifice, by reason of transgression: and it casteth down the truth to the ground, and it doth, and is prosperous.

lesserot@Daniel:8:13 @ Then did I hear a certain holy one speaking, and a holy one said unto the unknown one who was speaking, For how long is the vision concerning the continual sacrifice, and the wasting transgression, to give up both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?

lesserot@Daniel:8:14 @ And he said unto me, Until two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings, when the sanctuary shall be justified.

lesserot@Daniel:8:15 @ And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, saw the vision, and sought for understanding, that, behold, there was standing opposite to me something like the appearance of a man.

lesserot@Daniel:8:16 @ And I heard the voice of a man between the Ulai, and it called, and said, Gabriel, cause this one to understand this appearance.

lesserot@Daniel:8:17 @ So he came close to where I stood: and when he came, I was terrified, and I fell upon my face; but he said unto me, Mark it well, O son of man; because for the time of the end is the vision.

lesserot@Daniel:8:18 @ Now as he was speaking with me, I fell down in amazement on my face to the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright where I had been standing.

lesserot@Daniel:8:19 @ And he said, Behold, I will make known unto thee what is to be at the last end of the indignation; for it is for the appointed time of the end.

lesserot@Daniel:8:20 @ The ram that thou hast seen, him with the two horns, the kings of Media and Persia.

lesserot@Daniel:8:21 @ And the shaggy hegoat is the king of Javan; and the great horn which is between his eyes is the first king.

lesserot@Daniel:8:22 @ But that it was broken, and that four sprung up in its stead, four kingdoms will spring up out of the nation, but not with his power.

lesserot@Daniel:8:23 @ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have filled their measure of guilt, there will arise a king of an impudent face, and understanding deep schemes.

lesserot@Daniel:8:24 @ And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power; and he will destroy wonderfully, and will prosper while he doth; and he will destroy very many and the people of the saints.

lesserot@Daniel:8:25 @ And through his intelligence, and because he prospereth, is craftiness in his hand; and in his heart will he magnify himself, and in peace will he destroy many: he will also stand up against the Prince of princes; but without a human hand will he be broken.

lesserot@Daniel:8:26 @ And the appearance of the evening and the morning which was spoken of is true: but do thou keep the vision closed up;

lesserot@Daniel:8:27 @ And I Daniel grieved, and was sick several days; afterward I rose up, and did the kings business; and I was depressed because of the appearance; but no one observed it.

lesserot@Daniel:9:1 @ In the first year of Darius the son of Achashverosh, of the seed of the Medes, who was made king over the kingdom of the Chaldeans,
