| 1 | 17These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, which shall arise out of the earth. 4 Kingdoms of Babylon | 19And 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. 20The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia. 21And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king. 22Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power. Time appointed, 4th kingdom will stand | 1And 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. 2And many of them that sleep in the dust of the earth shall awake, some to everlasting life, and some to shame and everlasting contempt. 3And 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. 4But 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. 5Then 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. 6And 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? Michael stands in time of trouble, those written in book of life delivered | ||||||||
| 2 | 19Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast, which was diverse from all the others, exceeding dreadful, whose teeth were of iron, and his nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with his feet; 20And of the ten horns that were in his head, and of the other which came up, and before whom three fell; even of that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spake very great things, whose look was more stout than his fellows. 4th beast, 10 kings, plus 1, subdues 3, speaks great things, stout in stature | 23Thus he said, The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise: and another shall rise after them; and he shall be diverse from the first, and he shall subdue three kings. 4th beast is 4th kingdom, devour earth, 10 kings, plus 1 diverse king, 3 subdued | 23And 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. End of kingdom, king of dark sentences stands | 21And 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. King not given honor so comes in peaceably obtaining kingdom with flatteries | 24He 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. king rises peacefully on wealth of others and scatters spoils, works against strong holds | ||||||
| 3 | 23And after the league made with him he shall work deceitfully: for he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. King rises from a small people group and works deceitfully | 27And both 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. 28Then 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. kings in covenant lie, time appointed not yet, heart against covenant, does exploits | 27And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week: and king makes covenant for 1 week, 7 years | ||||||||
| 4 | 29At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south; but it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. King changes form | ||||||||||
| 5 | 30For 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. King has indignation against covenant and knows others against it too | in the midst of the week he shall cause the sacrifice and the oblation to cease, and for the king breaks covenant half way through, ceasing oblation, worship of God | |||||||||
| 6 | 31And 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. Arms (armies) of king stand, pollute sanctuary, place abomination | overspreading of abominations he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, and that determined shall be poured upon the desolate. King spreads abominations | |||||||||
| 7 | 21I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22Until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given to the saints of the most High; and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom. King wars against saints Ancient of days returns judgment given to saints saints posess kingdom | 25And he shall speak great words against the most High, and shall wear out the saints of the most High, and think to change times and laws: and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time. King speaks against Most High wear out saints of Most High wants to change times and laws saints given into king’s hand until “a time and times and the dividing of time” | 13Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? 14And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. daily sacrifice and time of transgression of desolation trodden for 2,300 days, then sanctuary cleansed | 24And 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. King has mighty power, but not of his own (devil gives him his power) destroys holy people | 32And 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. 33And 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. king corrupts with flatteries God’s people strong God’s people do exploits those understanding teach many, yet fall by sword, flame, captivity, and spoil fall for many days | 36And 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. 37Neither shall he regard the God of his fathers, nor the desire of women, nor regard any god: for he shall magnify himself above all. 38But 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. 39Thus 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. king does according to his will exalts self above all gods speaks against God Almighty prospers until determined time done disregards God of his fathers does not desire women honors “God of forces” does in strong holds with “strange god” increases glory of strange god causes strange god to rule over many divides land for gain | 7And 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. king scatters power of holy people for “a time, times, and an half” then all things finished | 11And 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. Time after sacrifice taken away and abomination shall be 1,290 days | |||
| 8 | 34Now when they shall fall, they shall be holpen with a little help: but many shall cleave to them with flatteries. | ||||||||||
| 9 | 18But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever. Saints of Most High Possess Kingdom for ever | 26But the judgment shall sit, and they shall take away his dominion, to consume and to destroy it unto the end. 27And the kingdom and dominion, and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High, whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey him. Saints of the Most High sit in judgment over kingdom under heaven | 25And 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. King magnified himself and destroyed many Prince of princes (Jesus Christ) will break him | 35And 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. Those who fall under power of king will be made white, leading up to the time appointed. | 10Many 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. Wise purified and made white wicked will not understand and continue to do wicked acts (betrayal) | 12Blessed is he that waiteth, and cometh to the thousand three hundred and five and thirty days. Blessed are they who wait until the 1,335th day | |||||
| 10 | 28Hitherto is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my cogitations much troubled me, and my countenance changed in me: but I kept the matter in my heart. | 27And 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. | |||||||||
