Daniel 8:22
not in his power—not with the power which Alexander possessed [MAURER]. An empire united, as under Alexander, is more powerful than one divided, as under the four Diadochi.
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.
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.
He shall destroy1 fearfully,
bAnd shall prosper and thrive;
cHe shall destroy the mighty, and also the holy people.
25 “Througha his cunning
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his1 rule;
bAnd he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
cHe shall even rise against the Prince of princes;
But he shall be dbroken without human means.
He shall cause deceit to prosper under his1 rule;
bAnd he shall exalt himself in his heart.
He shall destroy many in their prosperity.
cHe shall even rise against the Prince of princes;
But he shall be dbroken without human means.
