Daniel 8:17

Verse 17 of 27. The 8th of 12 chapters in Daniel, in The Major Prophets.

13Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, “How long will the vision about the continual burnt offering, and the disobedience that makes desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the army to be trodden under foot be?”

14He said to me, “To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.”

15When I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, I sought to understand it. Then behold, there stood before me someone with the appearance of a man.

16I heard a man’s voice between the banks of the Ulai, which called and said, “Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.”

17So he came near where I stood; and when he came, I was frightened, and fell on my face; but he said to me, “Understand, son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.”

18Now 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.

19He said, “Behold, I will make you know what will be in the latter time of the indignation, for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.

20The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.

21The rough male goat is the king of Greece. The great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
