27:008:014 And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the sanctuary be cleansed.
27:008:015 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.
27:008:016 And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which
called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the
vision.
27:008:017 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.
27:008:018 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.
27:008:019 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.
27:008:020 The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of
Media and Persia.
27:008:021 And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn
that is between his eyes is the first king.
27:008:022 Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four
kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his
power.
27:008:023 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.
27:008:024 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.
27:008:025 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.
27:008:026 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.
27:008:027 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.
27:009:001 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;
27:009:002 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.
27:009:003 And I set my face unto the Lord God, to seek by prayer and
supplications, with fasting, and sackcloth, and ashes:
27:009:004 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;
27:009:005 We have sinned, and have committed iniquity, and have done
wickedly, and have rebelled, even by departing from thy
precepts and from thy judgments:
27:009:006 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.
27:009:007 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.
27:009:008 O Lord, to us belongeth confusion of face, to our kings, to
our princes, and to our fathers, because we have sinned
against thee.
27:009:009 To the Lord our God belong mercies and forgivenesses, though
we have rebelled against him;
27:009:010 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.
27:009:011 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.
27:009:012 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.
27:009:013 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.
27:009:014 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.
27:009:015 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.
27:009:016 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.
27:009:017 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.
27:009:018 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.
27:009:019 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.
27:009:020 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;
27:009:021 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.
27:009:022 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, O Daniel, I
am now come forth to give thee skill and understanding.
27:009:023 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.
27:009:024 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.
27:009:025 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.
27:009:026 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.
27:009:027 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.
27:010:001 In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed
unto Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar; and the thing
was true, but the time appointed was long: and he understood
the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
27:010:002 In those days I Daniel was mourning three full weeks.
27:010:003 I ate no pleasant bread, neither came flesh nor wine in my
mouth, neither did I anoint myself at all, till three whole
weeks were fulfilled.
27:010:004 And in the four and twentieth day of the first month, as I was
by the side of the great river, which is Hiddekel;
27:010:005 Then I lifted up mine eyes, and looked, and behold a certain
man clothed in linen, whose loins were girded with fine gold
of Uphaz:
27:010:006 His body also was like the beryl, and his face as the
appearance of lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire, and
his arms and his feet like in colour to polished brass, and
the voice of his words like the voice of a multitude.
27:010:007 And I Daniel alone saw the vision: for the men that were with
me saw not the vision; but a great quaking fell upon them, so
that they fled to hide themselves.
27:010:008 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision, and
there remained no strength in me: for my comeliness was turned
in me into corruption, and I retained no strength.
27:010:009 Yet heard I the voice of his words: and when I heard the voice
of his words, then was I in a deep sleep on my face, and my
face toward the ground.
27:010:010 And, behold, an hand touched me, which set me upon my knees
and upon the palms of my hands.
27:010:011 And he said unto me, O Daniel, a man greatly beloved,
understand the words that I speak unto thee, and stand
upright: for unto thee am I now sent. And when he had spoken
this word unto me, I stood trembling.
27:010:012 Then said he unto me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day
that thou didst set thine heart to understand, and to chasten
thyself before thy God, thy words were heard, and I am come
for thy words.
27:010:013 But the prince of the kingdom of Persia withstood me one and
twenty days: but, lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came
to help me; and I remained there with the kings of Persia.
27:010:014 Now I am come to make thee understand what shall befall thy
people in the latter days: for yet the vision is for many
days.
27:010:015 And when he had spoken such words unto me, I set my face
toward the ground, and I became dumb.
27:010:016 And, behold, one like the similitude of the sons of men
touched my lips: then I opened my mouth, and spake, and said
unto him that stood before me, O my lord, by the vision my
sorrows are turned upon me, and I have retained no strength.
27:010:017 For how can the servant of this my lord talk with this my
lord? for as for me, straightway there remained no strength in
me, neither is there breath left in me.
27:010:018 Then there came again and touched me one like the appearance
of a man, and he strengthened me,
27:010:019 And said, O man greatly beloved, fear not: peace be unto thee,
be strong, yea, be strong. And when he had spoken unto me, I
was strengthened, and said, Let my lord speak; for thou hast
strengthened me.
27:010:020 Then said he, Knowest thou wherefore I come unto thee? and now
will I return to fight with the prince of Persia: and when I
am gone forth, lo, the prince of Grecia shall come.
27:010:021 But I will shew thee that which is noted in the scripture of
truth: and there is none that holdeth with me in these things,
but Michael your prince.
27:011:001 Also I in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I, stood to
confirm and to strengthen him.
27:011:002 And now will I shew thee the truth. Behold, there shall stand
up yet three kings in Persia; and the fourth shall be far
richer than they all: and by his strength through his riches
he shall stir up all against the realm of Grecia.
27:011:003 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great
dominion, and do according to his will.
27:011:004 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and
shall be divided toward the four winds of heaven; and not to
his posterity, nor according to his dominion which he ruled:
for his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside
those.
27:011:005 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his
princes; and he shall be strong above him, and have dominion;
his dominion shall be a great dominion.
27:011:006 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together;
for the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of
the north to make an agreement: but she shall not retain the
power of the arm; neither shall he stand, nor his arm: but she
shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that
begat her, and he that strengthened her in these times.
27:011:007 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his
estate, which shall come with an army, and shall enter into
the fortress of the king of the north, and shall deal against
them, and shall prevail:
27:011:008 And shall also carry captives into Egypt their gods, with
their princes, and with their precious vessels of silver and
of gold; and he shall continue more years than the king of the
north.
27:011:009 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and
shall return into his own land.
27:011:010 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a
multitude of great forces: and one shall certainly come, and
overflow, and pass through: then shall he return, and be
stirred up, even to his fortress.
27:011:011 And the king of the south shall be moved with choler, and
shall come forth and fight with him, even with the king of the
north: and he shall set forth a great multitude; but the
multitude shall be given into his hand.
27:011:012 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be
lifted up; and he shall cast down many ten thousands: but he
shall not be strengthened by it.
27:011:013 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a
multitude greater than the former, and shall certainly come
after certain years with a great army and with much riches.
27:011:014 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king
of the south: also the robbers of thy people shall exalt
themselves to establish the vision; but they shall fall.
27:011:015 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and
take the most fenced cities: and the arms of the south shall
not withstand, neither his chosen people, neither shall there
be any strength to withstand.
27:011:016 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own
will, and none shall stand before him: and he shall stand in
the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed.
27:011:017 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his
whole kingdom, and upright ones with him; thus shall he do:
and he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her:
but she shall not stand on his side, neither be for him.
27:011:018 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall
take many: but a prince for his own behalf shall cause the
reproach offered by him to cease; without his own reproach he
shall cause it to turn upon him.
27:011:019 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land:
but he shall stumble and fall, and not be found.
27:011:020 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the
glory of the kingdom: but within few days he shall be
destroyed, neither in anger, nor in battle.
27:011:021 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they
shall not give the honour of the kingdom: but he shall come in
peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries.
27:011:022 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from
before him, and shall be broken; yea, also the prince of the
covenant.
27:011:023 And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully:
for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small
people.
27:011:024 He shall enter peaceably even upon the fattest places of the
province; and he shall do that which his fathers have not
done, nor his fathers' fathers; he shall scatter among them
the prey, and spoil, and riches: yea, and he shall forecast
his devices against the strong holds, even for a time.
27:011:025 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the
king of the south with a great army; and the king of the south
shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty
army; but he shall not stand: for they shall forecast devices
against him.
27:011:026 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy
him, and his army shall overflow: and many shall fall down
slain.
27:011:027 And both of these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and
they shall speak lies at one table; but it shall not prosper:
for yet the end shall be at the time appointed.
27:011:028 Then shall he return into his land with great riches; and his
heart shall be against the holy covenant; and he shall do
exploits, and return to his own land.
27:011:029 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the
south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter.
27:011:030 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him: therefore he
shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against the
holy covenant: so shall he do; he shall even return, and have
intelligence with them that forsake the holy covenant.
27:011:031 And arms shall stand on his part, and they shall pollute the
sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily
sacrifice, and they shall place the abomination that maketh
desolate.
27:011:032 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt
by flatteries: but the people that do know their God shall be
strong, and do exploits.
27:011:033 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many:
yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity,
and by spoil, many days.
27:011:034 Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little
help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries.
27:011:035 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and
to purge, and to make them white, even to the time of the end:
because it is yet for a time appointed.
27:011:036 And the king shall do according to his will; and he shall
exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god, and shall
speak marvellous things against the God of gods, and shall
prosper till the indignation be accomplished: for that that is
determined shall be done.
27:011:037 Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire
of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself
above all.
27:011:038 But in his estate shall he honour the God of forces: and a god
whom his fathers knew not shall he honour with gold, and
silver, and with precious stones, and pleasant things.
27:011:039 Thus shall he do in the most strong holds with a strange god,
whom he shall acknowledge and increase with glory: and he
shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land
for gain.
27:011:040 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at
him: and the king of the north shall come against him like a
whirlwind, with chariots, and with horsemen, and with many
ships; and he shall enter into the countries, and shall
overflow and pass over.
27:011:041 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries
shall be overthrown: but these shall escape out of his hand,
even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the children of Ammon.
27:011:042 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries: and
the land of Egypt shall not escape.
27:011:043 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold and of
silver, and over all the precious things of Egypt: and the
Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps.
27:011:044 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble
him: therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy,
and utterly to make away many.
27:011:045 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the
seas in the glorious holy mountain; yet he shall come to his
end, and none shall help him.
27:012:001 And at that time shall Michael stand up, the great prince
which standeth for the children of thy people: and there shall
be a time of trouble, such as never was since there was a
nation even to that same time: and at that time thy people
shall be delivered, every one that shall be found written in
the book.
27:012:002 And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall
awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and
everlasting contempt.
27:012:003 And they that be wise shall shine as the brightness of the
firmament; and they that turn many to righteousness as the
stars for ever and ever.
27:012:004 But thou, O Daniel, shut up the words, and seal the book, even
to the time of the end: many shall run to and fro, and
knowledge shall be increased.
27:012:005 Then I Daniel looked, and, behold, there stood other two, the
one on this side of the bank of the river, and the other on
that side of the bank of the river.
27:012:006 And one said to the man clothed in linen, which was upon the
waters of the river, How long shall it be to the end of these
wonders?
27:012:007 And I heard the man clothed in linen, which was upon the
waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his
left hand unto heaven, and sware by him that liveth for ever
that it shall be for a time, times, and an half; and when he
shall have accomplished to scatter the power of the holy
people, all these things shall be finished.
27:012:008 And I heard, but I understood not: then said I, O my Lord,
what shall be the end of these things?
27:012:009 And he said, Go thy way, Daniel: for the words are closed up
and sealed till the time of the end.
27:012:010 Many shall be purified, and made white, and tried; but the
wicked shall do wickedly: and none of the wicked shall
understand; but the wise shall understand.
27:012:011 And from the time that the daily sacrifice shall be taken
away, and the abomination that maketh desolate set up, there
shall be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.
27:012:012 Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three
hundred and five and thirty days.
