And there will be a btime of distress csuch as never occurred since there was a nation until that time; and at that time your people, everyone who is found written in the dbook, will be rescued."aMany of those who sleep in the dust of the ground will awake, bthese to everlasting life, but the others to disgrace and everlasting contempt."Those who have ainsight will bshine brightly like the brightness of the expanse of heaven, and those who clead the many to righteousness, like the stars forever and ever."But as for you, Daniel, aconceal these words and bseal up the book until the cend of time; dmany will go back and forth, and knowledge will increase."Then I, Daniel, looked and behold, two others were standing, one on this bank of the river and the other on that bank of the river.And aone said to the man bdressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, "cHow long will it be until the end of these wonders?"I heard the man dressed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, as he araised his right hand and his left toward heaven, and swore by bHim who lives forever that it would be for a ctime, times, and half a time; and as soon as they finish dshattering the power of the holy people, all these events will be completed.As for me, I heard but could not understand; so I said, "My lord, what will be the outcome of these events?"He said, "Go your way, Daniel, for these words are concealed and asealed up until the end time.

But she will not take a stand for him or be on his side."Then he will turn his face to the acoastlands and capture many. But a commander will put a stop to his scorn against him; moreover, he will brepay him for his scorn."So he will turn his face toward the fortresses of his own land, but he will astumble and fall and be bfound no more."Then in his place one will arise who will asend an oppressor through the Jewel of his kingdom; yet within a few days he will be shattered, though not in anger nor in battle."In his place a despicable person will arise, on whom the honor of kingship has not been conferred, but he will come in a time of tranquility and aseize the kingdom by intrigue."The overflowing aforces will be flooded away before him and shattered, and also the prince of the covenant."After an alliance is made with him he will practice deception, and he will go up and gain power with a small force of people."In a time of tranquility he will enter the arichest parts of the realm, and he will accomplish what his fathers never did, nor his ancestors; he will distribute plunder, booty and possessions among them, and he will devise his schemes against strongholds, but only for a time.

As for me, there remains just now bno strength in me, nor has any breath been left in me."Then this one with human appearance touched me again and astrengthened me.He said, "O man of high esteem, ado not be afraid.

For Your own sake, O my God, ado not delay, because Your city and Your people are called by Your name."Now while I was aspeaking and praying, and bconfessing my sin and the sin of my people Israel, and presenting my supplication before the Lord my God in behalf of the holy mountain of my God,while I was still speaking in prayer, then the man aGabriel, whom I had seen in the vision previously, came to me in my extreme weariness about the time of the bevening offering.He gave me instruction and talked with me and said, "O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you insight with aunderstanding."At the abeginning of your supplications the command was issued, and I have come to tell you, for you are bhighly esteemed; so give heed to the message and gain cunderstanding of the vision."Seventy aweeks have been decreed for your people and your holy city, to finish the transgression, to make an end of sin, to bmake atonement for iniquity, to bring in ceverlasting righteousness, to seal up vision and prophecy and to anoint the most holy place."So you are to know and discern that from the issuing of a adecree to restore and rebuild Jerusalem until bMessiah the cPrince there will be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks; it will be built again, with plaza and moat, even in times of distress.

He will even aoppose the Prince of princes, But he will be broken bwithout human agency."The vision of the evenings and mornings Which has been told is atrue; But bkeep the vision secret, For it pertains to many cdays in the future."Then I, Daniel, was aexhausted and sick for days.

It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and some of the astars to fall to the earth, and it btrampled them down.It even amagnified itself to be equal with the Commander of the host; and it removed the bregular sacrifice from Him, and the place of His sanctuary was thrown down.Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a aram which had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the longer one coming up last.I saw the ram abutting westward, northward, and southward, and no other beasts could stand before him nor was there anyone to rescue from his power, but bhe did as he pleased and magnified himself.While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground; and the goat had a aconspicuous horn between his eyes.He came up to the ram that had the two horns, which I had seen standing in front of the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty wrath.I saw him come beside the ram, and he was enraged at him; and he struck the ram and shattered his two horns, and the ram had no strength to withstand him. So he hurled him to the ground and trampled on him, and there was none to rescue the ram from his power.Then the male goat magnified himself exceedingly. But as soon as ahe was mighty, the blarge horn was broken; and in its place there came up four conspicuous horns toward the cfour winds of heaven.Out of one of them came forth a rather asmall horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the bBeautiful Land.

So he btold me and made known to me the interpretation of these things:'These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth.'But the asaints of the Highest One will breceive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, for all ages to come.'"Then I desired to know the exact meaning of the afourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet,and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and which was larger in appearance than its associates."I kept looking, and that horn was awaging war with the saints and overpowering themuntil the Ancient of Days came and ajudgment was passed in favor of the saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the saints took possession of the kingdom."Thus he said: 'The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it.'As for the aten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings.'He will aspeak out against the bMost High and cwear down the saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make dalterations in times and in law; and they will be given into his hand for a etime, times, and half a time.'But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be ataken away, annihilated and destroyed forever.'Then the asovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an beverlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will cserve and obey Him.'"At this point the revelation ended.
