Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:1 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:2 - And I saw in the vision; now it was so, that when I saw, I was in Shushan the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision, and I was by the river Ulai.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:3 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:4 - I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; and no beasts could stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and magnified himself.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:5 - And as I was considering, behold, a he-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:6 - And he came to the ram that had the two horns, which I saw standing before the river, and ran upon him in the fury of his power.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:7 - And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with anger 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 trampled upon him; and there was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:8 - And the he-goat magnified himself exceedingly: and when he was strong, the great horn was broken; and instead of it there came up four notable horns toward the four winds of heaven.

The Little Horn

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:9 - 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 glorious land.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:10 - And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and some of the host and of the stars it cast down to the ground, and trampled upon them.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:11 - Yea, it magnified itself, even to the prince of the host; and it took away from him the continual burnt-offering, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:12 - And the host was given over to it together with the continual burnt-offering through transgression; and it cast down truth to the ground, and it did its pleasure and prospered.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:13 - Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said unto that certain one who spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the continual burnt-offering, and the transgression that maketh desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot?
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:14 - And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.

Interpretation of the Vision

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:15 - And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it; and, behold, there stood before me as the appearance of a man.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:16 - And I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:17 - So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was affrighted, and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man; for the vision belongeth to the time of the end.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:18 - Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:19 - And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongeth to the appointed time of the end.

The Ram's Identity

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:20 - The ram which thou sawest, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

The Goat

Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:21 - And the rough he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:22 - And as for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:23 - 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.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:24 - And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do his pleasure; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:25 - And through his policy he shall cause craft to prosper in his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and in their security shall he destroy many: he shall also stand up against the prince of princes; but he shall be broken without hand.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:26 - And the vision of the evenings and mornings which hath been told is true: but shut thou up the vision; for it belongeth to many days to come.
Unchecked Copy BoxDan 8:27 - And I, Daniel, fainted, and was sick certain days; then I rose up, and did the king’s business: and I wondered at the vision, but none understood it.
