nkjv Daniel:8:15-27 SEEK
Seeker Overlay ON
*
Then it happened ,
when I ,
Daniel ,
had seen the vision and was seeking the meaning ,
that suddenly there stood before me one having the appearance of a man .
*
And I heard a man '
s voice between the banks of the Ulai ,
who called ,
and said , "
Gabriel ,
make this man understand the vision ."
*
So he came near where I stood ,
and when he came I was afraid and fell on my face ;
but he said to me , "
Understand ,
son of man ,
that the vision refers to the time of the end ."
*
Now ,
as he was speaking with me ,
I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground ;
but he touched me ,
and stood me upright .
*
And he said , "
Look ,
I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation ;
for at the appointed time the end shall be .
*
The ram which you saw ,
having the two horns--they are the kings of Media and Persia .
*
And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece .
The large horn that is between its eyes is the first king .
*
As for the broken horn and the four that stood up in its place ,
four kingdoms shall arise out of that nation ,
but not with its power .
* "
And in the latter time of their kingdom ,
When the transgressors have reached their fullness ,
A king shall arise ,
Having fierce features ,
Who understands sinister schemes .
*
His power shall be mighty ,
but not by his own power ;
He shall destroy fearfully ,
And shall prosper and thrive ;
He shall destroy the mighty ,
and also the holy people .
* "
Through his cunning He shall cause deceit to prosper under his rule ;
And he shall exalt himself in his heart .
He shall destroy many in their prosperity .
He shall even rise against the Prince of princes ;
But he shall be broken without human means .
* "
And the vision of the evenings and mornings Which was told is true ;
Therefore seal up the vision ,
For it refers to many days in the future ."
*
And I ,
Daniel ,
fainted and was sick for days ;
afterward I arose and went about the king '
s business .
I was astonished by the vision ,
but no one understood it .
