Daniel 8:19

Compare all

17 So he came near where I stood, and when he came I was afraid and ^afell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, that the vision refers to the time of the end.”

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.

Daniel 8:20 >>

Daniel 8:19

And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end of the indignation - In the future time when the Divine indignation shall be manifest toward the Hebrew people; to wit, by suffering the evils to come upon them which Antiochus would inflict. It is everywhere represented that these calamities would occur as a proof of the Divine displeasure on account of their sins. Compare Daniel 9:24; Daniel 11:35; 2 Macc. 7:33.

For at the time appointed the end shall be - It shall not always continue. There is a definite period marked out in the Divine purpose, and when that period shall arrive, the end of all this will take place. See the notes at Daniel 8:17.
