CHAPTER 7
Daniel 7:1
1 In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and
visions of his head upon his bed: then  he wrote  the dream,  and told  the
sum  of the matters.
Daniel 7:2
2 Daniel spake and said, I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four
winds of the heaven strove upon the great  sea. Daniel 7:3
3 And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another. Daniel 7:4
4 The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings: I beheld till the wings
thereof were plucked, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand
upon  the feet  as a man,  and a man's  heart  was given  to it. Daniel 7:5
5 And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up
itself on one side, and it had three ribs in the mouth of it between  the
teeth  of it: and they said  thus  unto it, Arise,  devour  much  flesh.
Daniel 7:6
6 After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the
back of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four  heads;  and
dominion  was given  to it.
Daniel 7:7
7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast,
dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great  iron 
teeth:  it devoured  and brake in pieces,  and stamped  the residue  with
the feet  of it: and it  was diverse  from  all  the beasts  that were
before  it; and it had ten  horns.
Daniel 7:8
8 I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another
little horn, before whom there were three of the first horns  plucked up by
the roots:  and, behold,  in this  horn  were eyes  like the eyes  of man,
and a mouth  speaking  great things. Daniel 7:9
9 I beheld till the thrones were cast down, and the Ancient of days did
sit, whose garment was white as snow, and the hair of his head like the
pure wool:  his throne  was like the fiery  flame,  and his wheels  as
burning fire.
Daniel 7:10
10 A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him: thousand thousands
ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before  him:
the judgment  was set,  and the books  were opened. Daniel 7:11
11 I beheld then because of the voice of the great words which the horn
spake: I beheld even till the beast was slain, and his body  destroyed, 
and given  to the burning  flame.
Daniel 7:12
12 As concerning the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken
away: yet their lives were prolonged for a season and time. Daniel 7:13
13 I saw in the night visions, and, behold, one like the Son of man came
with the clouds of heaven, and came to the Ancient  of days,  and they
brought him near  before  him.
Daniel 7:14
14 And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all
people, nations, and languages, should serve him: his dominion is an
everlasting dominion, which shall not  pass away,  and his kingdom  that
which shall not  be destroyed.
Daniel 7:15
15 I Daniel was grieved in my spirit in the midst of my body, and the
visions of my head troubled me.
Daniel 7:16
16 I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth of
all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation  of the
things. Daniel 7:17
17 These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise
out of the earth.
Daniel 7:18
18 But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the
kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Daniel 7:19
19 Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from
all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth  were of iron,  and his
nails  of brass;  which devoured,  brake in pieces,  and stamped  the
residue  with his feet;
Daniel 7:20
20 And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came
up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes,  and a
mouth  that spake  very great things,  whose look  was more  stout  than
his fellows.
Daniel 7:21
21 I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
Daniel 7:22
22 Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of
the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom.
Daniel 7:23
23 Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour  the whole
earth,  and shall tread it down,  and break it in pieces. Daniel 7:24
24 And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise:
and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, 
and he shall subdue  three  kings.
Daniel 7:25
25 And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out
the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they
shall be given into his hand  until  a time  and times  and the dividing 
of time.
Daniel 7:26
26 But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to
consume and to destroy it unto the end. Daniel 7:27
27 And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the
whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High,
whose kingdom is an everlasting  kingdom,  and all  dominions  shall serve
and obey  him.
Daniel 7:28
28 Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much
troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter  in my
heart.
CHAPTER 8
Daniel 8:1
1 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.
Daniel 8:2
2 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. Daniel 8:3
3 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. Daniel 8:4
4 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. Daniel
8:5
5 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.
Daniel 8:6
6 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. Daniel 8:7
7 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.
Daniel 8:8
8 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.
Daniel 8:9
9 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.
Daniel 8:10
10 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. Daniel 8:11
11 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.
Daniel 8:12
12 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.
Daniel 8:13
13 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? Daniel 8:14
14 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then
shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
Daniel 8:15
15 And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, and
sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the
appearance of a man.
Daniel 8:16
16 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which called, and
said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision. Daniel 8:17
17 So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid, and fell
upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at the
time of the end  shall be the vision.
Daniel 8:18
18 Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my face toward
the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright. Daniel 8:19
19 And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the last end
of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be. Daniel 8:20
20 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
Daniel 8:21
21 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is
between his eyes is the first king. Daniel 8:22
22 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall
stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. Daniel 8:23
23 And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come
to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall stand up.
Daniel 8:24
24 And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he shall
destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the
mighty and the holy people.
Daniel 8:25
25 And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand;
and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy many:
he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be
broken without  hand.
Daniel 8:26
26 And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is true:
wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days. Daniel
8:27
27 And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I rose up,
and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but none
understood it.
CHAPTER 9
Daniel 9:1
1 In the first year of Darius the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the
Medes, which was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans; Daniel 9:2
2 In the first year of his reign I Daniel understood by books the number of
the years, whereof the word of the LORD came to Jeremiah the prophet, that
he would accomplish  seventy  years  in the desolations  of Jerusalem.
Daniel 9:3
3 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and supplications,
with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes: Daniel 9:4
4 And I prayed unto the LORD my God, and made my confession, and said, O
Lord, the great and dreadful God, keeping the covenant and mercy  to them
that love  him, and to them that keep  his commandments; Daniel 9:5
5 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly, and
have rebelled, even by departing from thy precepts and from thy judgments:
Daniel 9:6
6 Neither have we hearkened unto thy servants the prophets, which spake in
thy name to our kings, our princes, and our fathers, and to all the people
of the land.
Daniel 9:7
7 O Lord, righteousness belongeth unto thee, but unto us confusion of
faces, as at this day; to the men of Judah, and to the inhabitants of
Jerusalem, and unto all Israel, that are near, and that are far off, 
through all the countries  whither thou hast driven  them, because of their
trespass  that they have trespassed  against thee. Daniel 9:8
8 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to our princes,
and to our fathers, because we have sinned against thee. Daniel 9:9
9 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though we have
rebelled against him;
Daniel 9:10
10 Neither have we obeyed the voice of the LORD our God, to walk in his
laws, which he set before us by his servants the prophets. Daniel 9:11
11 Yea, all Israel have transgressed thy law, even by departing, that they
might not obey thy voice; therefore the curse is poured upon us, and the
oath that is written in the law of Moses the servant  of God,  because we
have sinned  against him.
Daniel 9:12
12 And he hath confirmed his words, which he spake against us, and against
our judges that judged us, by bringing upon us a great evil: for under the
whole heaven hath not been done as hath been done upon Jerusalem. Daniel
9:13
13 As it is written in the law of Moses, all this evil is come upon us: yet
made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our
iniquities, and understand thy truth. Daniel 9:14
14 Therefore hath the LORD watched upon the evil, and brought it upon us:
for the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he doeth: for we
obeyed not his voice.
Daniel 9:15
15 And now, O Lord our God, that hast brought thy people forth out of the
land of Egypt with a mighty hand, and hast gotten thee renown, as at this
day; we have sinned,  we have done wickedly. Daniel 9:16
16 O Lord, according to all thy righteousness, I beseech thee, let thine
anger and thy fury be turned away from thy city Jerusalem, thy holy
mountain: because for our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers,
Jerusalem  and thy people  are become a reproach  to all that are about 
us. Daniel 9:17
17 Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of thy servant, and his
supplications, and cause thy face to shine upon thy sanctuary that is
desolate, for the Lord's sake.
Daniel 9:18
18 O my God, incline thine ear, and hear; open thine eyes, and behold our
desolations, and the city which is called by thy name: for we do not
present our supplications  before  thee for our righteousnesses,  but for
thy great mercies.
Daniel 9:19
19 O Lord, hear; O Lord, forgive; O Lord, hearken and do; defer not, for
thine own sake, O my God: for thy city and thy people are called  by thy
name.
Daniel 9:20
20 And whiles I was speaking, and praying, and confessing my sin and the
sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the LORD my
God for the holy  mountain  of my God;
Daniel 9:21
21 Yea, whiles I was speaking in prayer, even the man Gabriel, whom I had
seen in the vision at the beginning, being caused to fly swiftly, touched
me about the time of the evening oblation. Daniel 9:22
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I am now
come forth to give thee skill and understanding. Daniel 9:23
23 At the beginning of thy supplications the commandment came forth, and I
am come to shew thee; for thou art greatly beloved: therefore understand
the matter, and consider the vision.
Daniel 9:24
24 Seventy weeks are determined upon thy people and upon thy holy city, to
finish the transgression, and to make an end of sins, and to make
reconciliation for iniquity, and to bring in  everlasting  righteousness,
and to seal up  the vision  and prophecy,  and to anoint  the most  Holy.
Daniel 9:25
25 Know therefore and understand, that from the going forth of the
commandment to restore and to build Jerusalem unto the Messiah the Prince
shall be seven weeks, and threescore and two  weeks:  the street  shall be
built  again,  and the wall,  even in troublous  times. Daniel 9:26
26 And after threescore and two weeks shall Messiah be cut off, but not for
himself: and the people of the prince that shall come shall destroy the
city and the sanctuary; and the end  thereof shall be with a flood,  and
unto the end  of the war  desolations  are determined. Daniel 9:27
27 And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and in the
midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease,
and for the overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate,  even
until the consummation,  and that determined  shall be poured  upon the
desolate.
