Daniel:7-9
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed :
then he wrote k @
the dream ,
and told the sum of the matters .
*
Daniel spake and said ,
I saw in my vision by night ,
and ,
behold ,
the four winds of the heaven strove upon the great sea .
*
And four great beasts came up c @
from the sea ,
diverse sh @
one from another .
*
The first was like a lion ,
and had eagles wings :
I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked m @,
and it was lifted up n @
from the earth ,
and made stand upon the feet as a man ,
and a mans heart was given y @
to it .
*
And behold another beast ,
a second ,
like d @
to a bear ,
and it raised up itself on one side ,
and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between the teeth of it :
and they said thus unto it ,
Arise ,
devour much flesh .
*
After this I beheld ,
and lo another ,
like a leopard ,
which had upon the back of it four wings of a fowl ;
the beast had also four heads re #
sh #;
and dominion was given y @
to it .
*
After this I saw in the night visions ,
and behold a fourth beast ,
dreadful d @
and terrible ,
and strong exceedingly ;
and it had great iron teeth :
it devoured and brake in pieces d @,
and stamped r @
the residue with the feet of it :
and it was diverse sh @
from all the beasts that were before it ;
and it had ten horns .
*
I considered s @
the horns ,
and ,
behold ,
there came up c @
among them another little horn ,
before qodam #
whom there were three of the first horns plucked up by the roots :
and ,
behold ,
in this horn were eyes like the eyes of man ,
and a mouth speaking m @
great things .
*
I beheld till the thrones were cast down r @,
and the Ancient of days did sit y @,
whose garment was white as snow ,
and the hair of his head like the pure wool :
his throne was like the fiery flame ,
and his wheels as burning d @
fire .
*
A fiery stream issued n @
and came forth n @
from before him :
thousand thousands ministered sh @
unto him ,
and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him :
the judgment was set y @,
and the books were opened p @.
*
I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn spake m @:
I beheld even till the beast was slain q @,
and his body destroyed ,
and given y @
to the burning flame .
*
As concerning the rest of the beasts ,
they had their dominion taken away :
yet their lives were prolonged y @
for a season and time .
*
I saw in the night visions ,
and ,
behold ,
one like the Son of man came with the clouds of heaven ,
and came m @
to the Ancient of days ,
and they brought him near q @
before him .
*
And there was given y @
him dominion ,
and glory ,
and a kingdom ,
that all people ,
nations ,
and languages ,
should serve p @
him :
his dominion is an everlasting dominion ,
which shall not pass away ,
and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed .
*
I Daniel was grieved K in my spirit in the midst of my body ,
and the visions of my head troubled b @
me .
*
I came near q @
unto one of them that stood by ,
and asked him the truth of all this .
So he told me ,
and made me know y @
the interpretation of the things .
*
These great beasts ,
which are four ,
are four kings ,
which shall arise out of the earth .
*
But the saints of the most High shall take q @
the kingdom ,
and possess the kingdom for ever ,
even for ever and ever .
*
Then I would ts @
know the truth y @
of the fourth beast ,
which was diverse sh @
from all the others ,
exceeding dreadful d @,
whose teeth were of iron ,
and his nails of brass ;
which devoured ,
brake in pieces d @,
and stamped r @
the residue with his feet ;
*
And of the ten horns that were in his head re #
sh #,
and of the other which came up c @,
and before min #
whom three fell n @;
even of that horn that had eyes ,
and a mouth that spake m @
very great things ,
whose look was more #
stout than his fellows .
*
I beheld ,
and the same horn made war with the saints ,
and prevailed y @
against them ;
*
Until the Ancient of days came #,
and judgment was given y @
to the saints of the most High ;
and the time came m @
that the saints possessed the kingdom .
*
Thus he said ,
The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth ,
which shall be diverse sh @
from all kingdoms ,
and shall devour the whole earth ,
and shall tread it down ,
and break it in pieces d @.
*
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise :
and another shall rise after them ;
and he shall be diverse sh @
from the first ,
and he shall subdue sh @
three kings .
*
And he shall speak m @
great words against the most High ,
and shall wear out b @
the saints of the most High ,
and think c @
to change sh @
times and laws :
and they shall be given y @
into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time .
*
But the judgment shall sit y @,
and they shall take away his dominion ,
to consume sh @
and to destroy it unto the end .
*
And the kingdom and dominion ,
and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven ,
shall be given y @
to the people of the saints of the most High ,
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom ,
and all dominions shall serve p @
and obey sh @
him .
*
Hitherto #
H3542is the end of the matter .
As for me Daniel Daniye #
l #,
my cogitations much troubled b @
me ,
and my countenance changed sh @
in me :
but I kept n @
the matter in my heart .
*
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me ,
even unto me Daniel Daniye #
l #,
after that which appeared unto me at the first .
*
And I saw in a vision ;
and it came to pass ,
when I saw ,
that I was at Shushan in the palace ,
which is in the province of Elam ;
and I saw in a vision ,
and I was by the river of Ulai .
*
Then I lifted up mine eyes ,
and saw ,
and ,
behold ,
there stood before the river a ram which had two horns :
and the two horns were high ;
but one was higher than the other ,
and the higher came up last .
*
I saw the ram pushing westward ,
and northward ,
and southward ;
so that no beasts might stand before him ,
neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand ;
but he did according to his will ,
and became great .
*
And as I was considering ,
behold ,
an he goat came from the west on the face of the whole earth ,
and touched not the ground :
and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes .
*
And he came to the ram that had two horns ,
which I had seen standing before the river ,
and ran unto him in the fury of his power .
*
And I saw him come close unto the ram ,
and he was moved with choler against him ,
and smote the ram ,
and brake his two horns :
and there was no power in the ram to stand before him ,
but he cast him down to the ground ,
and stamped upon him :
and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand .
*
Therefore the he goat waxed very great :
and when he was strong ,
the great horn was broken ;
and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of heaven .
*
And out of one of them came forth a little horn ,
which waxed exceeding great ,
toward the south ,
and toward the east ,
and toward the pleasant land .
*
And it waxed great ,
even to the host of heaven ;
and it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground ,
and stamped upon them .
*
Yea ,
he magnified himself even to the prince of the host ,
and by him the daily sacrifice was taken away (
8675 ),
and the place of his sanctuary was cast down .
*
And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason of transgression ,
and it cast down the truth to the ground ;
and it practised ,
and prospered .
*
Then I heard one saint speaking ,
and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake ,
How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice ,
and the transgression of desolation ,
to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot ?
*
And he said unto me ,
Unto two thousand and three hundred days #
H1242 ;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed .
*
And it came to pass ,
when I ,
even I Daniel Daniye #
l #,
had seen the vision ,
and sought for the meaning ,
then ,
behold ,
there stood before me as the appearance of a man .
*
And I heard a mans voice between the banks of Ulai ,
which called ,
and said ,
Gabriel Gabriy #
el #,
make this man to understand the vision mar #
eh #.
*
So he came near where I stood :
and when he came ,
I was afraid ,
and fell upon my face :
but he said unto me ,
Understand ,
O son of man :
for at the time of the end shall be the vision .
*
Now as he was speaking with me ,
I was in a deep sleep on my face toward the ground :
but he touched me ,
and set me upright .
*
And he said ,
Behold ,
I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation za #
am #:
for at the time appointed the end shall be .
*
The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia .
*
And the rough goat is the king of Grecia :
and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king .
*
Now that being broken ,
whereas four stood up for it ,
four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation ,
but not in his power .
*
And in the latter time of their kingdom ,
when the transgressors are come to the full ,
a king of fierce countenance ,
and understanding dark sentences ,
shall stand up .
*
And his power shall be mighty ,
but not by his own power :
and he shall destroy wonderfully ,
and shall prosper ,
and practise ,
and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people .
*
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 .
*
And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true :
wherefore shut thou up the vision ;
for it shall be for many days .
*
And I Daniel fainted ,
and was sick certain days ;
afterward I rose up ,
and did the kings business m @
la #
kah #;
and I was astonished at the vision mar #
eh #,
but none understood it .
*
In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus ,
of the seed of the Medes ,
which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans ;
*
In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of the years ,
whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet ,
that he would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem .
*
And I set my face unto the Lord God ,
to seek by prayer and supplications ,
with fasting ,
and sackcloth ,
and ashes :
*
And I prayed unto the LORD my God ,
and made my confession ,
and said ,
O Lord ,
the great and dreadful God ,
keeping the covenant and mercy to them that love him ,
and to them that keep his commandments ;
*
We have sinned ,
and have committed iniquity ,
and have done wickedly ,
and have rebelled ,
even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments :
*
Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets ,
which spake in thy name to our kings ,
our princes ,
and our fathers ,
and to all the people of the land .
*
O Lord ,
righteousness belongeth unto thee ,
but unto us confusion of faces ,
as at this day ;
to the men of Judah ,
and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem ,
and unto all Israel Yisra #
el #,
that are near ,
and that are far off ,
through all the countries whither thou hast driven them ,
because of their trespass that they have trespassed against thee .
*
O Lord ,
to us belongeth confusion of face ,
to our kings ,
to our princes ,
and to our fathers ,
because we have sinned against thee .
*
To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses ,
though we have rebelled against him ;
*
Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God ,
to walk in his laws ,
which he set before us by his servants the prophets .
*
Yea ,
all Israel have transgressed thy law ,
even by departing ,
that they might not obey thy voice ;
therefore the curse is poured upon us ,
and the oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant of God ,
because we have sinned against him .
*
And he hath confirmed his words ,
which he spake against us ,
and against our judges that judged us ,
by bringing upon us a great evil :
for under the whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem .
*
As it is written in the law of Moses ,
all this evil is come upon us :
yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God ,
that we might turn from our iniquities ,
and understand thy truth .
*
Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil ,
and brought it upon us :
for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth :
for we obeyed not his voice .
*
And now ,
O Lord our God ,
that hast brought #
thy people forth out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand ,
and hast gotten thee renown ,
as at this day ;
we have sinned ,
we have done wickedly .
*
O Lord ,
according to all thy righteousness ,
I beseech thee ,
let thine anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem ,
thy holy mountain :
because for our sins ,
and for the iniquities of our fathers ,
Jerusalem and thy people are become a reproach to all that are about us .
*
Now therefore ,
O our God ,
hear the prayer of thy servant ,
and his supplications ,
and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is desolate ,
for the Lords sake .
*
O my God ,
incline thine ear ,
and hear ;
open thine eyes ,
and behold our desolations ,
and the city which is called by thy name :
for we do not present our supplications before thee for our righteousnesses ,
but for thy great mercies .
*
O Lord ,
hear ;
O Lord ,
forgive ;
O Lord ,
hearken and do ;
defer not ,
for thine own sake ,
O my God :
for thy city and thy people are called by thy name .
*
And whiles I was speaking ,
and praying ,
and confessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel Yisra #
el #,
and presenting my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy mountain of my God ;
*
Yea ,
whiles I was speaking in prayer ,
even the man Gabriel Gabriy #
el #,
whom I had seen in the vision at the beginning ,
being caused to fly swiftly ,
touched me about the time of the evening oblation .
*
And he informed me ,
and talked with me ,
and said ,
O Daniel Daniye #
l #,
I am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding .
*
At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth ,
and I am come to shew thee ;
for thou art greatly beloved :
therefore understand the matter ,
and consider the vision mar #
eh #.
*
Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city ,
to finish the transgression ,
and to make an end (
8675 )
of sins chatta #
ah #,
and to make reconciliation for iniquity ,
and to bring in everlasting righteousness ,
and to seal up the vision and prophecy ,
and to anoint the most Holy .
*
Know therefore and understand ,
that from the going forth of the commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince shall be seven weeks ,
and threescore and two weeks :
the street shall be built again ,
and the wall ,
even in troublous times .
*
And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off ,
but not for himself :
and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the city and the sanctuary ;
and the end thereof shall be with a flood ,
and unto the end of the war desolations are determined .
*
And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week :
and in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease ,
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate ,
even until the consummation ,
and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate .
*
In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed unto Daniel Daniye #
l #,
whose name was called Belteshazzar Belt @
sha #
tstsar #;
and the thing was true ,
but the time appointed was long :
and he understood the thing ,
and had understanding of the vision mar #
eh #.
