Daniel 8:20

Compare all

18 ^aNow, as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep with my face to the ground; ^bbut he touched me, and stood me upright.

19 And he said, “Look, I am making known to you what shall happen in the latter time of the indignation; ^afor at the appointed time the end shall be.

20 The ram which you saw, having the two horns—they are the kings of Media and Persia.

21 And the male goat is the kingdom of Greece. The large horn that is between its eyes ^ais the first king.

22 ^aAs 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.

23 “And in the latter time of their kingdom,
When the transgressors have reached their fullness,
A king shall arise,
^aHaving fierce¹ features,
Who understands sinister schemes.

24 His power shall be mighty, ^abut not by his own power;
He shall destroy¹ fearfully,
^bAnd shall prosper and thrive;
^cHe shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.
