Daniel:8:1-14
Seeker Overlay ON
*
In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision appeared unto me ,
even unto me Daniel ,
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 ,
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 ;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed .
