And a god whom his fathers did not know, he will honor with gold and silver and with precious stones and desirable things. ³⁹ And he will deal with the strongest fortresses by the help of a foreign god. Whoever acknowledges him he will increase with glory and he will cause them to rule over many and will divide the land for a price.
⁴⁰ And at the time of the end, the king of the south will contend with him and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships and he will enter into the countries and will overflow and pass through.
⁴¹ He will also enter into the glorious land and many countries will be overthrown. But these will be delivered out of his hand: Edom and Moab and the chief of the sons of Ammon.
⁴² He will stretch forth his hand also upon the countries and the land of Egypt will not escape. ⁴³ But he will have power over the treasures of gold and of silver and over all the desirable things of Egypt. And the Libyans and the Ethiopians will be at his steps.
⁴⁴ But news out of the east and out of the north will trouble him and he will go forth with great fury to destroy and to utterly sweep away many. ⁴⁵ And he will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain, yet he will come to his end and none will help him.

¹⁴ But I will scatter them with a whirlwind among all the nations which they have not known. Thus the land was desolate after them, so that no man passed through nor returned. For they laid the desirable land desolate.

¹³ And you said in your heart, I will ascend into heaven. I will exalt my throne above the stars of God and I will sit upon the mountain of congregation, in the outermost parts of the north.

²⁴ And his power will be mighty, but not by his own power and he will destroy amazingly and will prosper and do his pleasure. And he will destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
²⁵ And through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand and he will magnify himself in his heart. And he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without a hand.

²⁸ Then he will return into his land with great substance. And his heart will be against the holy covenant and he will do his pleasure and return to his own land.

³⁰ For ships of Kittim will come against him. Therefore he will be grieved and will return and have indignation against the holy covenant and will do his pleasure. He will even return and have regard to those who forsake the holy covenant.

³³ And those who are wise among the people will instruct many, yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.
³⁴ Now when they will fall, they will be helped with a little help, but many will join themselves to them with flatteries. ³⁵ And some of those who are wise will fall, to refine them and to purify and to make them white, even to the time of the end, because it is yet for the time appointed.
³⁶ And the king will do according to his will. And he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. And he will prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for what is determined will be done.

⁴ And his tail drags the third of the stars of heaven and he cast them to the earth and the dragon is standing in the sight of the woman who is about to bear, in order that whenever she has bore, he may devour her child.

³⁸ Now this is what you will offer upon the altar: two lambs a year old day by day continually. ³⁹ The one lamb you will offer in the morning and the other lamb you will offer at evening. ⁴⁰ And with the one lamb a tenth part of an ephah of fine flour mingled with the fourth part of a hin of beaten oil and the fourth part of a hin of wine for a drink offering. ⁴¹ And the other lamb you will offer at evening and will do to it according to the meal offering of the morning and according to the drink offering of it, for a sweet aroma, an offering made by fire to Jehovah. ⁴² It will be a continual burnt offering throughout your* genealogy at the door of the tent of meeting before Jehovah, where I will meet with you*, to speak to you there.

³ And you will say to them, This is the offering made by fire which you* will offer to Jehovah: male-lambs a year old without blemish, two day by day, for a continual burnt offering.

¹⁴ And he said, No, but as captain of the army of Jehovah I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant? ¹⁵ And the captain of Jehovah's army said to Joshua, Put off your shoe from your foot, for the place on which you stand is holy. And Joshua did so.

²² Whom have you defied and blasphemed? And against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.
²³ By your messengers you have defied the Lord and have said, With the multitude of my chariots I have come up to the height of the mountains, to the innermost parts of Lebanon. And I will cut down the tall cedars of it and the choice fir trees of it. And I will enter into his farthest lodging-place, the forest of his fruitful field.

¹⁵ Now therefore do not let Hezekiah deceive you*, nor persuade you* after this manner, neither believe him. For no god of any nation or kingdom was able to deliver his people out of my hand and out of the hand of my fathers. How much less will your* God deliver you* out of my hand?
¹⁶ And his servants spoke yet more against Jehovah God and against his servant Hezekiah. ¹⁷ He also wrote letters, to rail on Jehovah, the God of Israel and to speak against him, saying, As the gods of the nations of the lands, which have not delivered their people out of my hand, so will the God of Hezekiah not deliver his people out of my hand.
¹⁸ And they cried with a loud voice in the Jews' language to the people of Jerusalem who were on the wall, to frighten them and to trouble them, that they might take the city. ¹⁹ And they spoke of the God of Jerusalem, as of the gods of the peoples of the earth, which are the work of men's hands.
²⁰ And Hezekiah the king and Isaiah the prophet the son of Amoz, prayed because of this and cried out to heaven. ²¹ And Jehovah sent a messenger who cut off all the mighty men of valor and the leaders and captains, in the camp of the king of Assyria. So he returned with shame of face to his own land. And when he came into the house of his god, those who came out from his own guts killed him there with the sword.
²² Thus Jehovah saved Hezekiah and the inhabitants of Jerusalem from the hand of Sennacherib the king of Assyria and from the hand of all others and guided them on every side.

²³ Whom have you defied and blasphemed? And against whom have you exalted your voice and lifted up your eyes on high? Even against the Holy One of Israel.

²⁹ Because of your raging against me and because your arrogance has come up into my ears, therefore I will put my hook in your nose and my bridle in your lips and I will turn you back by the way by which you came.

²⁶ You* make him drunken, for he magnified himself against Jehovah. And Moab will wallow in his vomit and he also will be a laughing-stock.

⁴² And Moab will be destroyed from being a people, because he has magnified himself against Jehovah.

¹⁴ And you will prepare a meal offering with it morning by morning, the sixth part of an ephah and the third part of a hin of oil, to moisten the fine flour, a meal offering to Jehovah continually by a everlasting ordinance.

²³ but have lifted up yourself against the Lord of heaven. And they have brought the vessels of his house before you, and you and your lords, your wives and your concubines, have drunk wine from them. And you have praised the gods of silver and gold, of brass, iron, wood and stone, which neither see, nor hear, nor know. And the God in whose hand your breath is and whose are all your ways, you have not glorified.

²⁵ And he will speak words against the Most High and will wear out the holy ones of the Most High. And he will think to change the times and the law and they will be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.

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.

²⁵ And through his policy he will cause deceit to prosper in his hand and he will magnify himself in his heart. And he will destroy many in their security. He will also stand up against the Prince of princes, but he will be broken without a hand.

²⁶ And after the sixty-two weeks the anointed one will be cut off and will have nothing. And the people of the prince who will come will destroy the city and the sanctuary and the end of it will be with a flood. And even to the end will be war; desolations are determined. ²⁷ And he will make a firm covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And upon the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate. And even to the full end and that determined, wrath will be poured out upon the desolate.

³¹ And forces will stand on his part and they will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress and will take away the continual burnt offering and they will set up the abomination that makes desolate.

³⁶ And the king will do according to his will. And he will exalt himself and magnify himself above every god and will speak marvelous things against the God of gods. And he will prosper till the indignation be accomplished, for what is determined will be done. ³⁷ Neither will he regard the gods of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god, for he will magnify himself above all.

¹¹ And from the time that the continual burnt offering will be taken away and the abomination that makes desolate is set up, there will be a thousand and two hundred and ninety days.

⁵ And while some are speaking about the temple, how it has been adorned with beautiful stones and votive-offerings, he said, ⁶ As for these things which you are viewing, the days will be coming in which one stone will not be left here upon another stone, that will not be torn-down.

²⁴ And they will be falling by the edge of the sword and will be captured into all the nations, and Jerusalem will be trampled on by the Gentiles, until the times of the Gentiles should be fulfilled.

⁴ The one who lays in opposition to us and promotes himself against everyone being called a god or worshiped objects; so-that he sits in the temple of God as a god, showing himself–that he is a god.

¹⁰ For it was suitable for him, because of whom are all things and through whom are all things, having led many sons to glory, to complete the author of their salvation through sufferings.

⁵ And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him, and authority to make war forty-two months was given to him. ⁶ And he opened his mouth to blaspheme toward God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and blaspheme those who are residing in the heaven. ⁷ And it was given to him to make a war with the holy-ones and to overcome them and authority over every tribe and people and language and nation was given to him.

¹⁴ These will make war with the Lamb and the Lamb will overcome them because he is Lord of lords and King of kings, and those called and chosen and faithful with him.

¹³ And he has been dressed in a garment, having been dipped in blood and his name is called The Word of God. ¹⁴ And the armies which are in heaven were following him upon white horses, having clothed themselves in fine-linen, white and clean. ¹⁵ And a sharp two edged long-sword travels out from his mouth, in order that he might strike the nations with it and he will shepherd them with an iron rod and he tramples on the winepress of the fury of the wrath of God, the Almighty. ¹⁶ And he has upon his garment and upon his thigh a name has been written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

⁹ And David knew that Saul was devising mischief against him and he said to Abiathar the priest, Bring here the ephod.

⁶ The tents of robbers prosper and those who provoke God are secure. Into whose hand God brings abundantly.

⁴³ And take not the word of truth utterly out of my mouth, because I have hoped in your ordinances.

¹⁴² Your righteousness is an everlasting righteousness and your law is truth.

¹⁴ And justice is turned away backward and righteousness stands afar off. For truth has fallen in the street and uprightness cannot enter.

¹ You are righteous, O Jehovah, when I contend with you. Yet I would reason the case with you. Why does the way of the wicked prosper? Why are all those at ease who deal very treacherously?

⁴ I saw the ram pushing westward and northward and southward and no beasts could stand before him, nor was there any that could deliver out of his hand, but he did according to his will and magnified himself.

³¹ And forces will stand on his part and they will profane the sanctuary, even the fortress and will take away the continual burnt offering and they will set up the abomination that makes desolate. ³² And he will pervert by flatteries such as do wickedly against the covenant. But the people who know their God will be strong and do exploits.

¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, because they did not accept the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And because of this, God will be sending them a working of error, that they may believe in the lie; ¹² in order that they all might be judged who did not believe the truth, but were delighted in unrighteousness.

⁷ And it was given to him to make a war with the holy-ones and to overcome them and authority over every tribe and people and language and nation was given to him.

¹¹ And I saw another beast ascending out of the earth, and he was holding two horns similar to a lamb and he was speaking like a dragon. ¹² And he practiced all the authority of the first beast in his sight and was making the earth and those who are dwelling in it in order that they should worship the first beast, whose wound of death was healed. ¹³ And he does great signs, even makes fire in order that it might come down from heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And the one who is misleading those of mine who are dwelling upon the earth because of the signs which was given to him to do in the sight of the beast, saying to those who dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, who was holding the wound of death from the sword and lived. ¹⁵ And it was given to it to give breath to the image of the beast, in order that the image of the beast should speak and in order that it should make as many as would not worship to the image of the beast in order that they should be killed. ¹⁶ And he makes all, the little and the great, and the rich and the poor, and the free and the bond, in order that there may be marks given to them upon their right hand or upon their foreheads; ¹⁷ and in order that no one should be able to buy or to sell, except he who has the mark, which is the name of the beast or the number of its name.

² And he said, Jehovah came from Sinai and rose from Seir to them. He shined forth from Mount Paran and he came from the ten thousands of holy ones. At his right hand was a fiery law for them.

¹⁸ And the messenger of Jehovah said to him, Why do you ask after my name, seeing it is wonderful?

⁹ We do not see our signs. There is no more any prophet, nor any among us who knows how long.

⁵ How long, O Jehovah? Will you be angry forever? Shall your jealousy burn like fire?

¹¹ Then I said, Lord, how long? And he answered, Until cities be waste without inhabitant and houses without man and the land become utterly waste,

⁶ For to us a child is born, to us a son is given. And the government will be upon his shoulder. And his name will be called Wonderful, Counselor, Mighty God, Father of Eternity, Prince of Peace.

¹⁸ Your holy people possessed it but a little while. Our adversaries have trodden down your sanctuary.

¹³ I saw in the visions of my head upon my bed, and behold, a watcher and a holy one came down from heaven.

²³ And in what the king saw a watcher and a holy one coming down from heaven and saying, Hew down the tree and destroy it. Nevertheless leave the stump of the roots of it in the earth, even with a band of iron and brass, in the tender grass of the field. And let it be wet with the dew of heaven and let his portion be with the beasts of the field, till seven times pass over him.

¹⁶ I came near to one of those who stood by and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made me know the interpretation of the things.

²³ Thus he said, The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which will be different from all the kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and will tread it down and break it in pieces.

¹¹ Yes, 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. 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.

²⁷ And he will make a firm covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week he will cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease. And upon the wing of abominations will come one who makes desolate. And even to the full end and that determined, wrath will be poured out upon the desolate.

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, another two stood, the one on the brink of the river on this side and the other on the brink of the river on that side. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long will it be to the end of these wonders?

⁹ Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the messenger who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these are. ¹⁰ And the man who stood among the myrtle trees answered and said, These are they whom Jehovah has sent to walk to and fro through the earth. ¹¹ And they answered the messenger of Jehovah who stood among the myrtle trees and said, We have walked to and fro through the earth, and behold, all the earth sits still and is at rest.
¹² Then the messenger of Jehovah answered and said, O Jehovah of hosts, how long will you not have mercy on Jerusalem and on the cities of Judah, against which you have had indignation these seventy years?

¹⁹ And I said to the messenger who talked with me, What are these? And he answered me, These are the horns which have scattered Judah, Israel and Jerusalem.

³ And behold, the messenger who talked with me went forth. And another messenger went out to meet him, ⁴ and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it.

⁵ And you* will flee by the valley of my mountains, for the valley of the mountains will reach to Azel. Yes, you* will flee, just as you* fled from before the earthquake in the days of Uzziah king of Judah. And Jehovah my God will come and all the holy ones with you.

²⁷ All things have been given to me by my Father and no one fully knows the Son, except the Father; nor does anyone know the Father fully, except the Son and he to whomever the Son wills to reveal him. \ulnone\nosupersub

¹⁵ Therefore, whenever you behold the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of through Daniel the prophet, standing in the holy place, (let the one who is reading perceive),

¹⁴ But whenever you behold the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet standing where it ought not to be (let the one who is reading perceive), then let those who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

²² And having turned to the disciples, he said, All things have been given to me by my Father, and no one knows who the Son is, except the Father, and who the Father is, except the Son and he to whomever the Son wills to reveal him.

²⁰ But whenever you behold Jerusalem surrounded by encamped armies, then know that her desolation has drawn near.

¹⁸ No one has seen God at anytime; the only begotten Son, who is in the bosom of the Father, that one has described him.

¹³ that he might establish your hearts, blameless in holiness before our God and Father, in the presence of our Lord Jesus Christ, with all his holy-ones.

²⁹ How much worse punishment, do you think he will be deemed worthy of, after having trampled under foot the Son of God, and having deemed the blood of the covenant in which he was made holy as common, and having insulted the Spirit of the grace?

¹² To whom it was revealed, that they were serving these things not to themselves, but to you; which things now have been reported to you through those who proclaimed the good-news to you in the Holy Spirit, when he was sent forth from heaven; into which things messengers desire to peer into.

¹⁴ Now Enoch, seventh from Adam, also prophesied about these people, saying, Behold, the Lord came in among tens of thousands of his holy-ones,

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, Until when, O holy and true Master, do you not judge and avenge our blood from those who dwell upon the earth?

² And the courtyard outside the temple cast away outside and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations and they will be trampling on the holy city forty-two months.

⁵ And God called the light Day and the darkness he called Night. And there was evening and there was morning, one day.

²⁷ Zion will be redeemed with justice and her converts with righteousness.

²⁵ In Jehovah all the seed of Israel will be justified and will glory.

²⁶ And the vision of the evenings and mornings which has been told is true. But shut up the vision, for it belongs to many days to come.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by him who lives everlasting that it will be for a time, times and a half. And when they have made an end of smashing the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.

²⁶ and thus all spiritual Israel will be saved, just-as it has been written, ‘There will come out of Zion, he who rescues and he will turn away ungodliness from Jacob. ²⁷ And this is my covenant with them, whenever I take away their sins.’

⁸ Now the Scripture foreseeing that God would make righteous the Gentiles from faith, proclaimed the good-news beforehand to Abraham, saying, ‘All the nations will be blessed in you.’

² And the courtyard outside the temple cast away outside and do not measure it, because it has been given to the nations and they will be trampling on the holy city forty-two months.
³ And I will be giving to my two witnesses and they will be prophesying one thousand two hundred and sixty days, having been dressed in sackcloth.

¹⁵ And the seventh messenger sounded, and there became loud voices in heaven saying, The kingdom of the world has become the kingdom of our Lord and of his Christ and he will be reigning forevermore.

¹⁴ And the two wings of the great eagle were given to the woman, in order that she may fly into the wilderness to her place, that she may be nourished there for a time and times and half a time, from the face of the serpent.

⁵ And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him, and authority to make war forty-two months was given to him.

¹⁴ And he said, No, but as captain of the army of Jehovah I have now come. And Joshua fell on his face to the earth and worshiped and said to him, What does my lord say to his servant?

²⁶ And above the expanse that was over their heads was the likeness of a throne, as the appearance of a sapphire stone. And upon the likeness of the throne was a likeness as the appearance of a man upon it above.
²⁷ And I saw as it were glowing metal, as the appearance of fire within it all around, from the appearance of his loins and upward. And from the appearance of his loins and downward I saw as it were the appearance of fire. And there was brightness all around him.
²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face and I heard a voice speaking.

¹³ I saw in the night visions, and behold, there came with the clouds of heaven someone like a son of man. And he came even to the ancient of days and they brought him near before him.

¹⁶ I came near to one of those who stood by and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me and made me know the interpretation of the things.
¹⁷ These great beasts, which are four, are four kings who will arise out of the earth. ¹⁸ But the holy ones of the Most High will receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and forever.
¹⁹ Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all of them, exceedingly fearful, whose teeth were of iron and its nails of brass, which devoured, broke in pieces and stamped the residue with its feet,

²⁸ Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me much and my countenance was changed in me, but I kept the matter in my heart.

¹⁶ And behold, someone in the likeness of the sons of men touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth and spoke and said to him who stood before me, O my lord, because of the vision my pains have turned upon me and I retain no strength.

¹⁸ Then someone like the appearance of a man touched me again and he strengthened me.

⁸ And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what will be the outcome of these things?

³⁶ Then Jesus, having left the crowds, went into the house and his disciples came to him, saying, Explain to us the parable of the darnels of the field.

³⁰ and then the sign of the Son of Man will be appearing in heaven, and then all the tribes of the earth will be grieving, and they will be seeing the Son of Man coming upon the clouds of heaven with power and with much glory.

¹² in order that seeing, they may see and yet may not know, and hearing, they may hear and yet may not understand; lest they should turn again and their sins might be forgiven them.

¹⁰ Concerning which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning the favor that would come to you, sought out and utterly searched out; ¹¹ searching what time or what sort of time the Spirit of Christ in them was indicating, when testifying beforehand of the sufferings for Christ and the glories following after these things.

¹³ And one similar to a son of man was in the middle of the seven lamp-stands. He has clothed himself with a long-robe and the breasts are girded around with a golden belt.

¹⁸ Here is wisdom. He who has perception, let him calculate the number of the beast; for it is the number of man and his number is six hundred and sixty-six.

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.

²¹ yes, while I was speaking in prayer, 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.
²² And he instructed me and talked with me and said, O Daniel, I have now come out to give you wisdom and understanding.

¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, you man are a great delight, understand the words that I speak to you and stand upright, for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling.
¹² Then he said to me, Do not fear, Daniel, for from the first day that you set your heart to understand and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come for your words' sake.

¹⁴ I have come now to make you understand what will befall your people in the latter days, for the vision is yet for many days.

²¹ But I will tell you what is inscribed in the writing of truth. And there is none who holds with me against these, but Michael your* prince.

⁵ Then I, Daniel, looked, and behold, another two stood, the one on the brink of the river on this side and the other on the brink of the river on that side. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, How long will it be to the end of these wonders?
⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by him who lives everlasting that it will be for a time, times and a half. And when they have made an end of smashing the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.

⁹ Then I said, O my lord, what are these? And the messenger who talked with me said to me, I will show you what these are.

⁴ and said to him, Run, speak to this young man, saying, Jerusalem will be inhabited as villages without walls, because of the multitude of men and cattle in it.

¹⁹ And the messenger answered and said to him, I am Gabriel, who stands in God’s sight, and I was sent to speak to you and to proclaim to you this good-news.

²⁶ Now in the sixth month Gabriel the messenger was sent by God to a city of Galilee, whose name was Nazareth,

⁷ But the men traveling together with him stood speechless, indeed hearing the voice, but viewing no one.

¹³ And there came a voice to him, Sacrifice and eat when you stand up Peter.

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits, being sent forth into service because of those who are about to inherit salvation?

¹² And I turned there to see the voice which was speaking with me and having turned, I saw seven golden lamp-stands.

¹⁶ I, Jesus, have sent my messenger to testify to you these things in the congregations. I am the root and the offspring of David, the bright morning star.

³ And Abram fell on his face. And God talked with him, saying,

²⁸ As the appearance of the bow that is in the cloud in the day of rain, so was the appearance of the brightness all around. This was the appearance of the likeness of the glory of Jehovah. And when I saw it, I fell upon my face and I heard a voice speaking.

² Son of man, set your face toward the mountains of Israel and prophesy to them,

⁴⁶ Then the king Nebuchadnezzar fell upon his face and worshiped Daniel and commanded that they should offer an oblation and sweet odors to him.

¹⁹ And he 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

²³ At the beginning of your supplications the commandment went forth and I have come to tell you, for you are a great delight. Therefore consider the matter and understand the vision.

⁷ And I, Daniel, alone saw the vision, for the men who were with me did not see the vision, but a great quaking fell upon them and they fled to hide themselves.
⁸ So I was left alone and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility and I retained no strength.

¹¹ And he said to me, O Daniel, you man are a great delight, understand the words that I speak to you and stand upright, for I am now sent to you. And when he had spoken this word to me, I stood, trembling.

⁴⁰ And at the time of the end, the king of the south will contend with him and the king of the north will come against him like a whirlwind, with chariots and with horsemen and with many ships and he will enter into the countries and will overflow and pass through.

⁴ But you, O Daniel, shut up the words and seal the book, even to the time of the end. Many will run to and fro and knowledge will be increased.

¹³ But go your way till the end is. For you will rest and will stand in your lot at the end of the days

³ For the vision is yet for the appointed time and it breathes-out toward the end and will not lie. Though it abide, wait for it, because it will surely come. It will not delay.

⁸ Now they saw no one, having lifting up their eyes, except Jesus only.

⁴ And Elijah, together with Moses, appeared to them, and they were speaking together with Jesus.
⁵ And Peter answered and says to Jesus, Rabbi, it is good for us to be here, and we should make three tabernacles; one for you and one for Moses and one for Elijah.

¹⁷ And when I saw him, I fell like one dead at his feet. And he placed his right hand upon me, saying, Do not fear; I am the first and the last,

⁹ And he says to me, Write, the fortunate ones have been invited to the marriage supper of the Lamb. And he says to me, These are true words of God. ¹⁰ And I fell down before his feet to worship him. And he says to me, See that you do not do that. I am a fellow bondservant of you and of your brethren who are holding the testimony of Jesus. Worship God; for the testimony of Jesus is the spirit of prophecy.

⁸ And I, John, am the one hearing and seeing these things. And when I heard and saw, I fell down to worship before the feet of the messenger who shows these things to me.

¹² And when the sun was going down, a deep sleep fell upon Abram. And behold, a horror of great darkness fell upon him.

¹³ In thoughts from the visions of the night, when deep sleep falls on men,

² And the Spirit entered into me when he spoke to me and set me upon my feet. And I heard he who spoke to me.

¹⁷ So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.

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.

⁸ So I was left alone and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility and I retained no strength. ⁹ Yet I heard the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, then I fell into a deep sleep on my face, with my face toward the ground.
¹⁰ And behold, a hand touched me, which set me upon my knees and upon the palms of my hands.

¹ And the messenger who talked with me came again and awoke me, as a man who is awakened out of his sleep.

³² Now Peter and those who were together with him were heavy with sleep; but then having thoroughly awaken, they saw his glory and the two men standing together with him.

⁴⁵ And having stood up from his prayer, he came to the disciples and found them, falling-asleep from sorrow,

⁶ And now I am standing here, being judged against the hope of the promise which came by God to the fathers;

¹⁵ And it happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and behold, there stood before me someone as the appearance of a man. 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.
¹⁷ So he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was frightened and fell upon my face. But he said to me, Understand, O son of man, for the vision belongs to the time of the end.

²³ And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors have come to the full, a king of fierce countenance and understanding hidden things, will stand up.

²⁷ And as for both these kings, their hearts will be to do mischief and they will speak lies at one table. But it will not prosper, for yet the end will be at the time appointed.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the river, when he held up his right hand and his left hand to heaven and swore by him who lives everlasting that it will be for a time, times and a half. And when they have made an end of smashing the power of the holy people, all these things will be finished.
⁸ And I heard, but I did not understand. Then I said, O my lord, what will be the outcome of these things?

¹ The Revelation of Jesus Christ, which God gave him to show to his bondservants; the things which are essential to happen shortly and he signified it, having sent it through his messenger to his bondservant John;

⁷ But in the days of the voice of the seventh messenger, whenever he is about to sound, and the mystery of God had completed, as he proclaimed the good-news to his bondservants, the prophets.

¹⁸ And the nations were angry and your wrath came and the time of the dead to be judged and the time to give the reward to your bondservants, the prophets, and to the holy-ones, and to those who fear your name, to the little and to the great, and to have decay for those who are corrupting the earth.

¹ And I saw another great and marvelous sign in heaven, seven messengers having seven wounds, which are the last, because the fury of God was completed in them.

¹⁷ For God gave to their hearts to do his intention and to do it with one intention and to give their kingdom to the beast, till the words of God should be completed.

¹ And as for me, in the first year of Darius the Mede, I stood up to confirm and strengthen him.
² And now I will show you the truth. Behold, there will stand up yet three kings in Persia and the fourth will be far richer than them all. And when he has grown strong through his riches, he will stir up all against the realm of Greece.

⁵ And as I was considering, behold, a male-goat came from the west over the face of the whole earth and did not touch the ground. And the goat had a notable horn between his eyes. 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.
⁷ And I saw him come close to the ram. And he was moved with anger against him and killed* the ram and broke 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.
⁸ And the male-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.

²⁰ Then he said, Do you know why I have come to you? And now I will return to fight with the ruler of Persia. And when I go forth behold, the ruler of Greece will come.

¹⁶ And they will come here again in the fourth generation, because the iniquity of the Amorite is not yet full.

²⁴ But ships will come from the coast of Kittim and they will afflict Asshur and will afflict Eber and he also will come to destruction.

⁵⁰ a nation of fierce countenance, that will not regard the person of the old, nor show favor to the young,

⁸ After many days you will be visited. In the latter years you will come into the land that is brought back from the sword, that is gathered out of many peoples, upon the mountains of Israel, which have been a continual waste, but it is brought forth out of the peoples and they will dwell securely, all of them.

¹⁶ And you will come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land. It will happen in the latter days, that I will bring you against my land, that the nations may know me, when I will be made holy in you, O Gog, before their eyes.

¹¹ I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke. I beheld even till the beast was slain and its body destroyed and it was given to be burned with fire.

²⁰ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up and before which three fell, even that horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, whose look was greater than its fellows.

⁹ And out of one of them came out a little horn, which grew exceedingly great, toward the south and toward the east and toward the glorious land. ¹⁰ And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground and trampled upon them.

²⁴ He will come in time of security even upon the fattest places of the province and he will do what his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers. He will scatter among them prey and spoil and substance. Yes, he will devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.

³² And you, fill up the measure of your fathers.

¹⁶ forbidding us to speak to the Gentiles in order that they might be saved; that they should always fill up their sins, but the wrath has arrived-unexpectedly upon them–to the end.

⁹ even he, whose presence is according to the working of the Adversary in every power and in signs and in lying wonders, ¹⁰ and in all deception of unrighteousness in those who are perishing, because they did not accept the love of the truth, that they might be saved. ¹¹ And because of this, God will be sending them a working of error, that they may believe in the lie;

¹ But the Spirit expressly says, In later times some will be withdrawing from the faith, taking-heed to misleading spirits and teachings of demons,

¹¹ And I saw another beast ascending out of the earth, and he was holding two horns similar to a lamb and he was speaking like a dragon. ¹² And he practiced all the authority of the first beast in his sight and was making the earth and those who are dwelling in it in order that they should worship the first beast, whose wound of death was healed. ¹³ And he does great signs, even makes fire in order that it might come down from heaven upon the earth in the sight of men. ¹⁴ And the one who is misleading those of mine who are dwelling upon the earth because of the signs which was given to him to do in the sight of the beast, saying to those who dwell upon the earth to make an image to the beast, who was holding the wound of death from the sword and lived.

²⁰ And the beast was clutched and with him the false prophet who made the signs in his sight, in which he misled those who had received the mark of the beast and those who are worshiping his image. The two were cast while living into the lake of fire which is burning in brimstone.

¹⁰ And it grew great, even to the host of heaven. And it cast down some of the host and of the stars to the ground and trampled upon them.

³ And I saw one of his heads, like what has been slaughtered to death, and his deadly wound was healed and the whole earth marveled after the beast; ⁴ and they worshiped the dragon who has given his authority to the beast, and they worshiped the beast, saying, Who is similar to the beast? And who is mighty to make war with him? ⁵ And a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies was given to him, and authority to make war forty-two months was given to him. ⁶ And he opened his mouth to blaspheme toward God, to blaspheme his name and his tabernacle, and blaspheme those who are residing in the heaven. ⁷ And it was given to him to make a war with the holy-ones and to overcome them and authority over every tribe and people and language and nation was given to him. ⁸ And all who are dwelling upon the earth will be worshiping him, everyone whose name has not been written in the Book of Life of the lamb, who has been slaughtered from the conception of the world. ⁹ If anyone has an ear, let him hear. ¹⁰ If anyone holds those in captivity, he is going into captivity; if anyone kills with the sword, it is essential for him to be killed with the sword. Here is the endurance and the faith of the holy-ones.

⁶ because they poured out the blood of holy-ones and prophets and you gave blood to them to drink because they are worthy.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunken from the blood of the holy-ones and from the blood of the witnesses of Jesus. And I marveled when I saw her– with great marvel!

¹² And the ten horns that you saw are ten kings, who did not yet receive a kingdom, but they receive authority like kings, with the beast, for one hour. ¹³ These have one intention and they are giving their power and authority to the beast.

² because true and righteous are his judgments, because he has judged the great prostitute, she who was corrupting the earth in her fornication and he has avenged the blood of his bondservants from her hand.

²⁰ In a moment they die, even at midnight. The people are shaken and pass away and the mighty are taken away without hand.

⁶ For the iniquity of the daughter of my people is greater than the sin of Sodom, that was overthrown as in a moment and no hands were laid upon her.

³⁴ You looked until a stone was cut out without hands, which killed* the image upon its feet that were of iron and clay and broke them in pieces. ³⁵ Then the iron, the clay, the brass, the silver and the gold, was broken in pieces together and became like the chaff of the summer threshing floors. And the wind carried them away, so that no place was found for them. And the stone that killed* the image became a great mountain and filled the whole earth.

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings the God of heaven will set up a kingdom that will never be destroyed, nor will the sovereignty of it be left to another people, but it will break in pieces and consume all these kingdoms and it will stand forever.
⁴⁵ Inasmuch as you saw that a stone was cut out of the mountain without hands and that it broke in pieces the iron, the brass, the clay, the silver and the gold, the great God has made known to the king what will happen hereafter. And the dream is certain and the interpretation of it sure.

²⁶ But the judgment will be set and they will take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it to the end.

¹¹ Yes, 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.

²¹ And in his place he who is contemptible will stand up, to whom they had not given the honor of the kingdom. But he will come in time of security and will obtain the kingdom by flatteries. ²² And the overwhelming forces will be overwhelmed from before him and will be broken, yes, also the ruler of the covenant.
²³ And after the league made with him, he will work deceitfully, for he will come up and will become strong, with a small people. ²⁴ He will come in time of security even upon the fattest places of the province and he will do what his fathers have not done, nor his fathers' fathers. He will scatter among them prey and spoil and substance. Yes, he will devise his devices against the strongholds, even for a time.
²⁵ And he will stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with a great army. And the king of the south will war in battle with a very great and mighty army, but he will not stand, for they will devise devices against him.

³² And he will pervert by flatteries such as do wickedly against the covenant. But the people who know their God will be strong and do exploits. ³³ And those who are wise among the people will instruct many, yet they will fall by the sword and by flame, by captivity and by spoil, many days.

⁴⁵ And he will plant the tents of his palace between the sea and the glorious holy mountain, yet he will come to his end and none will help him.

²³ But instantly a messenger of the Lord struck him, because he did not give God the glory and he expired, having become maggot-eaten.

¹⁶ And he has upon his garment and upon his thigh a name has been written, King of Kings and Lord of Lords.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies, have been gathered together to make a war with the one who sits upon the horse and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was clutched and with him the false prophet who made the signs in his sight, in which he misled those who had received the mark of the beast and those who are worshiping his image. The two were cast while living into the lake of fire which is burning in brimstone. ²¹ And the rest were killed with the long-sword of the one who sits upon the horse, which came forth out of his mouth and all the birds were fed from their flesh.

²² And they will be gathered together as prisoners are gathered in the pit and will be shut up in the prison. And after many days they will be visited.

²⁷ Son of man, behold, those of the house of Israel say, The vision that he sees is for many day to come and he prophesies of times that are far off.

¹¹ Yes, 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. 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.
¹³ Then I heard a holy one speaking and another holy one said to that certain one who spoke, How long will be the vision of the continual burnt offering and the transgression that make desolate, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? ¹⁴ And he said to me, To two thousand and three hundred evenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary will be cleansed.
¹⁵ And it happened, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the vision, that I sought to understand it, and behold, there stood before me someone as the appearance of a man.

¹ In the third year of Cyrus king of Persia a thing was revealed to Daniel, whose name was called Belteshazzar and the thing was true, even a great warfare. And he understood the thing and had understanding of the vision.

⁹ And he said, Go your way, Daniel, for the words are shut up and sealed till the time of the end.

³ And I said to her, You will abide for me many days. You will not play the prostitute and you will not be any man's wife. So I will also be toward you.
⁴ For the sons of Israel will abide many days without king and without ruler and without sacrifice and without pillar and without ephod or household-idol.

⁴ And when the seven thunders spoke their voices, I was about to write and I heard a voice from heaven saying, Seal up the things which the seven thunders spoke and do not write them.

¹⁰ And he says to me, Do not seal up the words of the prophecy of this book, because the time is near.

¹⁵ And Samuel lay until the morning and opened the doors of the house of Jehovah. And Samuel was afraid to show Eli the vision.

⁴⁸ Then the king made Daniel great and gave him many great gifts and made him to rule over the whole province of Babylon and to be chief governor over all the wise men of Babylon.
⁴⁹ And Daniel requested of the king and he appointed Shadrach, Meshach and Abed-nego, over the affairs of the province of Babylon, but Daniel was in the gate of the king.

¹⁴ I have heard of you, that the spirit of the gods is in you and that light and understanding and excellent wisdom are found in you.

² and over them three presidents, of whom Daniel was one, that these satraps might give account to them and that the king should have no damage.
³ Then this Daniel was distinguished above the presidents and the satraps, because an excellent spirit was in him and the king thought to set him over the whole realm.

⁸ So I was left alone and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me, for my fitness was turned in me into debility and I retained no strength.

¹⁶ I heard and my body trembled. My lips quivered at the voice. Rottenness enters into my bones and I tremble in my place, because I must wait quietly for the day of trouble, for the coming up of the people who invade us.
