Daniel 8 Cross References - Thomson

¹ In the third year of Baltasar the king a vision appeared to me. After the first vision which appeared to me, ² I Daniel was at Susoi the palace which is in the province of Ailam; and being on the bank of the Oubal, ³ I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo a ram stood before the Oubal and it had lofty horns and one was higher than the other; and the highest sprang up last. ⁴ And I saw the ram butting westward and northward and southward, and of all the beasts none could stand before him nor was there any to deliver out of his hand. So he acted according to his pleasure and became great. ⁵ And while I was considering, behold a he goat came from the south west over the face of the whole earth and he did not seem to touch the ground. And the goat had a horn between his eyes. ⁶ And he came to the ram which had two horns and which I saw standing before the Oubal and ran up to him with all his might. ⁷ I saw him indeed coming up to the ram and he was exasperated against him, and he smote the ram and broke his two horns and the ram had not power to stand before him. So he threw him on the ground and trampled him, and there was none to deliver the ram out of his hand. ⁸ And the goat of the goats became very great and when he was in full strength, that great horn of his was broken; and four others sprang up from under it towards the four winds of heaven. ⁹ And out from the first of them there came forth one strong horn which became very great towards the south and towards the host, ¹⁰ and its greatness reached even to the host of heaven. And there fell on the earth some of the host of heaven and some of the stars, and these were trodden down. ¹¹ And until the captain general should deliver the captivity, even by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed; and he was prospered; and the sanctuary is to be desolated; ¹² and sin was permitted against the sacrifice; and this righteousness was cast on the ground; so he acted and was prospered. ¹³ And I heard a holy one speaking; and a holy one said to the Phelmoni who spoke, "How long shall this vision last, respecting the sacrifice which is taken away, and the sin of desolation which is permitted; and the sanctuary and the host be trodden down?" ¹⁴ And he said to him, Even till there shall be of an evening and a morning two thousand four hundred days. Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. ¹⁵ And when I Daniel had seen the vision and sought the meaning, then lo! there stood before me an appearance like that of a man. ¹⁶ And I heard a voice of a man amidst the Oubal and it called and said, "Gabriel, instruct him respecting the vision." ¹⁷ So he came and stood near where I was standing. And when he came, I was struck with terror and fell on my face. And he said to me, Son of man, understand; for this vision also is for the end of a time. ¹⁸ And while he was speaking to me, I fell flat with my face on the ground. Then he touched me and set me on my feet, ¹⁹ and said, Behold I make known to thee the things which shall be in the last days of the indignation; for this vision also is for the end of a time. ²⁰ The ram which thou sawest which had the horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians. ²¹ The goat of the goats, is the king of the Grecians; and the great horn which was between his eyes is the first king. ²² Now as upon this being broken, four horns shot up from under it, four kings of that nation of his will be raised up, but not by their own might. ²³ And in the last days of their kingdom, their sins being come to the full, a king will be raised up of an unblushing countenance, skilled in problems, ²⁴ and his power will be great, and he will destroy things which are objects of admiration and will prosper and act and destroy mighty men, and a holy people. ²⁵ And the yoke of his chain will prosper; and by his hand and by his heart, deceit will be magnified, and with deceit he will destroy many and for the destruction of many he will be raised up and will break them like eggs with his hands. ²⁶ Now the vision of the evening and the morning, which was mentioned is true. Seal thou therefore the vision, for it is for many days. ²⁷ Upon this I Daniel was confined to my bed and sick. And when I arose I did the king's business. And I was astonished at the vision; but none understood it.

¹ A word of the Lord which he spake against Babylon. ² Proclaim among the nations, publish and conceal not; say, Babylon is taken; Bel is confounded; the fearless, the luxurious Mairodach is delivered up. ³ For a nation is gone up against her from the north, which will make her land a desolation, so that none shall dwell therein, neither man nor beast. ⁴ In those days, even at that time, shall come up the children of Israel, they and the children of Juda together: walking slow and weeping they will march on seeking the Lord their God. ⁵ They will ask the way to Zion; for thitherward they will set their face; and they will come and flee to the Lord their God; for the everlasting covenant shall not be forgotten. ⁶ My people have been lost sheep. Their shepherds caused them to stray. On the mountains they caused them to wander. From mountain to hill they roamed. They forgot their place of rest. ⁷ All that found them devoured them. Their enemies said, "Let us not spare them because they sinned against the Lord." He who gathered their fathers hath a pasture of righteousness: ⁸ remove out of Babylon and from the country of the Chaldeans, and go out and be like dragons before sheep. ⁹ For Lo! I am raising up against Babylon assemblies of nations from the north; and they shall be drawn up in array against her. Thence one shall be taken like the dart of a skilful warrior which shall not rebound in vain. ¹⁰ So Chaldea shall be for a prey. All that plunder it shall be satisfied. ¹¹ Because you rejoiced and triumphed when you were plundering my heritage; because you frisked about like calves in a pasture, and brandished your horns like bulls; ¹² your mother shall be greatly ashamed: she who brought you forth for prosperity shall be confounded. Being the hindmost of nations, ¹³ a desert because of the wrath of the Lord, she shall not be inhabited; but shall be entirely a desolation. Sorrow will cover the countenance of all who travel through Babylon; and at all their calamity they will express pity. ¹⁴ Set yourselves in array all around against Babylon. All ye who bend the bow shoot at her: spare not your arrows, ¹⁵ you must needs subdue her. Her hands are weakened; her bulwarks have fallen, and her wall is undermined. Because it is a vengeance from the Lord; execute vengeance on her. As she hath done, do ye to her. ¹⁶ Destroy utterly the seed of Babylon, him who handleth the sickle in harvest. Let them return from the face of the Grecian sword, every one to his own people; and let every one flee to his own land. ¹⁷ Israel was a wandering sheep. Lions scared him away. The first who devoured him was the king of Assur, and this last, the king of Babylon gnawed his bones. ¹⁸ Therefore thus saith the Lord, Behold I will execute vengeance on the king of Babylon and his land as I executed vengeance on the king of Assyria. ¹⁹ And I will bring back Israel to his pasture, and he shall feed on Carmel, and on mount Ephraim, and on Galaad; and his soul shall be satisfied. ²⁰ In those days and at that time, search shall be made for the iniquity of Israel; but none shall remain: and for the sins of Juda; but none shall be found. For I will be merciful to them who are left. ²¹ With respect to this land, saith the Lord. Go up with bitterness against it and against them who dwell in it; take vengeance, sword, and destroy utterly; saith the Lord, and do according to all that I command thee. ²² A sound of battle and great distress in the land of the Chaldeans! ²³ How the hammer of the whole earth is broken and dashed to pieces! How Babylon is become a desolation among the nations! ²⁴ They will come upon thee and thou shalt not know; like Babylon itself and thou shalt be taken. Thou art found out and taken, because thou didst set thyself against the Lord. ²⁵ The Lord hath opened his arsenal and brought out the instruments of his wrath; because the Lord God hath a work to perform in the land of the Chaldeans. ²⁶ Because her time is come; open ye her treasuries, search her like a cave; and destroy her utterly. Let not a remnant of her be left. ²⁷ Lay waste all her fruits and let them go down to destruction. [p] Alas for them; for their day is come and the time of their visitation! ²⁸ Hark! a sound of men fleeing and escaping out of the land of Babylon to inform Sion of the vengeance of the Lord our God. ²⁹ [J] Issue these orders to many against Babylon; to every one bending a bow;" Encamp against her round about; let none escape out of her." Render to her according to her works; according to all that she hath done, do ye to her. Because she set herself against the Lord, the holy God of Israel, ³⁰ therefore her young men shall fall in her streets and all her mighty warriors shall be laid low, saith the Lord. ³¹ Behold I am against thee, thou essence of haughtiness, saith the Lord. Because thy day is come and the time of thy punishment; ³² therefore thy haughtiness shall be abated and fall, and none shall continue to support it. For I will kindle a fire in her forest, which shall devour all around her. ³³ Thus saith the Lord, The children of Israel and the children of Juda have both been oppressed; all who captivated them tyrannised over them. Because they refused to let them go; ³⁴ therefore their Redeemer; the Mighty One, whose name is The Lord Almighty will plead their cause with their adversaries. In order that he may remove this land out of the way he will sharpen for the inhabitants of Babylon ³⁵ a sword against the Chaldeans and against the inhabitants of Babylon; and against her grandees and against her counsellors; ³⁶ a sword against her warriors and they shall be destroyed; ³⁷ a sword against their horses and against their chariots; a sword against their warriors and the mixed multitude in the midst of her and they shall be like women; a sword against her treasures; and they shall be rifled; ³⁸ against them who are on her waters and they shall be exposed to shame. Because it is a land of the graven images and it was in these islands where they boasted; ³⁹ therefore imageries shall dwell in those islands and in her shall dwell the daughters of Sirens and she shall never more be inhabited. ⁴⁰ As God overthrew Sodom and Gomorra and the neighbouring cities, said the Lord, no man shall dwell there, nor shall a son of man make his abode there. ⁴¹ Behold a people is coming from the north, even a mighty nation, and many kings shall be roused up from the extremity of the earth ⁴² handling the bow and sword. They are haughty and will shew no mercy: their voice will roar like the sea. On horses they will come prancing, in array like fire, for battle against thee, daughter of Babylon. ⁴³ The king of Babylon heard the report of them and his hands were enfeebled; anguish seized him like the pangs of a woman in travail. ⁴⁴ Behold he will be like the lion which must go up from the swelling of Jordan to Gaitham, for I will speedily drive men from her, and set every youth against her: for who is like me and who can withstand me? And who is the shepherd who can stand before me? ⁴⁵ Therefore hear the counsel which the Lord hath taken against Babylon; and the determination he is come to against the Chaldean inhabitants, let all but the lambs of the flock to destroyed; let all but a pasture for them be made a desolation. ⁴⁶ For at the sound of the capture of Babylon the earth shall be shaken, and a scream shall be heard among the nations.

¹¹ [p] Prepare the arrows. Fill the quivers. The Lord hath stirred up the spirit of the king of the Medes. For his wrath is against Babylon to destroy her utterly. For it is the vengeance of the Lord; the avengement of his people.

⁶ The transgression of the daughter of my people was greater than that of Sodom which was overthrown suddenly, without tiring hands with it.

²⁶ this being over their heads, there was an appearance like that of a sapphire stone and a resemblance of a throne upon it. And upon the resemblance of the throne a resemblance like the appearance of a man above. ²⁷ And I saw a resemblance of amber from the appearance of the loins and upwards; and from the appearance of the loins and downwards, I saw an appearance of fire: and the splendor thereof round about ²⁸ was like the bow which is in the clouds in a showery day. Such was the state of the splendor round about.

²⁸ was like the bow which is in the clouds in a showery day. Such was the state of the splendor round about.

² Whereupon a blast of wind came upon me and took me and lifted me up and set me on my feet and I heard him speaking to me and he said to me,

² Son of man set thy face against the mountains of Israel and prophesy against them

²⁷ Son of man, behold the house of Israel, that rebellious house, speak saying, The vision which this man seeth is for many days; and for times far distant he prophesieth;

⁷ Be multiplied like the grass of the field; I have betrothed thee. So thou didst increase and grow great and enter the class of chief cities. Thy breasts were fashioned and thy locks flowing. But thou wast naked and exposed to shame.

⁶ on the very day when I took hold of them with my hand to bring them out of the land of Egypt into the land which I had prepared for them; a land flowing with milk and honey; it is the honeycomb of the whole earth;

¹⁵ and I lifted up my hand against them in the wilderness thus far; that I would not bring them into the land which I had given them, [a land flowing with milk and honey: it is the honey comb of the whole earth]

⁹ Wilt thou say, "I am a God," in the presence of them who are slaying thee? Thou indeed art but a man and not a God.

²⁴ There lieth Ailam with all his host around his tomb; all the slain who fell by the sword, and went down uncircumcised to the depth of the earth:

²¹ You have pushed with your sides and your shoulders, and have butted with your horns and bruised all the weak:

⁸ After many days he will be in a state of preparation, and in the last of years he will begin his march, and come into the land which is withdrawn from the sword; the land of them who have been collected from many nations, to the land of Israel, which had been made an entire desert. When he from nations hath begun his march, they will be all dwelling in peace.

¹⁶ will indeed come up against my people Israel, as a cloud to cover the land: in the latter days I will bring thee up against my land, that all the nations may know me when I am hallowed by thee in their sight,

¹⁴ and every morning he shall prepare the libation for it, the sixth of the measure and the third of an hin of oil to mix up the offering of fine flour for the Lord.

³² It was an image, the head of which was of pure gold; the hands and the breast and the arms of it were of silver; the belly and the thighs of brass;

³⁴ With wonder thou didst view it, till from a mountain there was rent without hands a stone, which smote the image on the feet, which were of iron and potters clay, and at last broke them to pieces. ³⁵ Then were broken to pieces at once, the clay, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold. And they became like the dust of a threshing floor in summer: and a great wind swept them away, and there was no place found for them. And the stone which smote the image became a great mountain and filled all the earth.

³⁹ And after thee there shall be raised up another kingdom inferior to thee; then a third kingdom which is the brass, which shall rule over the whole earth;

⁴⁴ And in the days of those kings, the God of heaven will set up a kingdom which shall never be destroyed; and this kingdom of his shall not be left to another people. It shall break in pieces, and blow away all those kingdoms and shall itself stand forever. ⁴⁵ As thou sawest that without hands there was cut from a mountain a stone, which broke in pieces the clay, the iron, the brass, the silver, the gold; the God who is great, hath made known to the king what must come to pass hereafter. The dream indeed is true and the interpretation thereof is faithful. ⁴⁶ Then king Nabuchodonosar fell on his face, and made obeisance to Daniel and ordered holy gifts, and sweet odours to be offered to him.

⁴⁸ Then the king raised Daniel to high rank and gave him many great gifts, and set him over the whole region of Babylon, and a chief satrap over all the wise men of Babylon. ⁴⁹ And Daniel requested of the king, and he set Sedrach, Misach and Abdenago, over the works of the region of Babylon. And Daniel was in the court of the king.

¹³ I beheld in a vision of the night on my bed; and lo an Eir, even a holy one, came down from heaven

²³ And inasmuch as the king saw an Eir, even a holy one descending from heaven who said, Cut down that tree and destroy it, but leave the stump of its roots in the earth; and in a band of iron and brass and in the green grass abroad and in the dew of heaven let it abide; and let its portion be with the wild beasts of the field until seven seasons revolve over it;

³¹ While the word was yet in the king's mouth, there came a voice from heaven, To thee Nabuchodonosar it is said, the regal power is gone from thee

¹⁴ I have heard of thee that there is in thee a spirit of a god, and that light and knowledge and extraordinary wisdom have been found in thee.

¹⁹ And because of the majesty which he gave him, all the peoples, tribes and languages trembled and were struck with awe at his presence. Whom he would he slew, and whom he would he smote, and whom he would he set up, and whom he would he put down. ²⁰ But when his heart became elated and his spirit emboldened to shew its arrogance, he was deposed from the throne of his kingdom and his glory was taken from him;

²³ Yet thou hast exalted thyself against the Lord God of heaven. And the vessels of his house have been brought before thee, and thou and thy nobles and thy concubines and thy wives have drunk wine out of them, and thou hast praised the gods of gold and silver and brass and iron and wood and stone which neither see nor hear, nor understand: but the God in whose hand is thy breath and all thy ways; him thou hast not glorified.

³⁰ And that very night Baltasar the Chaldean king was slain, ³¹ and Darius the Mede assumed the kingdom, being sixty two years of age.

² and over these he appointed three ministers of whom Daniel was one; that the governors might render an account to them, so that the king might not be oppressed with business. ³ And Daniel was at the head of these. Because there was in him an extraordinary spirit and the king had set him over his whole kingdom,

²⁸ So Daniel prospered in the reign of Darius and in the reign of Cyrus the Persian.

¹ In the first year of Baltasar king of the Chaldeans, Daniel had a dream and these were the visions of his head on his bed and he wrote down this dream of his. ² I Daniel beheld, and lo! the four winds of heaven blew violently on the great sea;

⁵ And behold the second beast was like a bear; and it stood half erect and there were three ribs in its mouth between its teeth, and they said to it thus, "Arise, devour much flesh." ⁶ After this I looked, and lo! another beast like a leopard; and it had four wings of a bird on it; and this beast had four heads and to it dominion was given. ⁷ After this I beheld, and lo! a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong and its teeth of iron! It devoured and brake in pieces! and the residue it trampled with its feet. Now this was far different from all the beasts which were before it and it had ten horns. ⁸ I attended to its horns, and behold another little horn sprouted up in the midst of them; and three of the horns which were before it were rooted out from before it. And behold in this horn there were eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth speaking great things.

¹¹ I looked then because of the sound of the great words which that horn had spoken, until the beast was slain and destroyed and its body given to be burned with fire.

¹³ And I beheld in the vision of the night, and lo! with the clouds of heaven one like a son of man coming! And he advanced to the Ancient of days and was introduced to him.

¹⁵ As for me, Daniel, my spirit quivered in my whole frame and the vision of my head troubled me. ¹⁶ And I went to one of them in waiting and made diligent inquiry to learn of him concerning all these things and he gave me exact information and explained to me the meaning of these things.

¹⁶ And I went to one of them in waiting and made diligent inquiry to learn of him concerning all these things and he gave me exact information and explained to me the meaning of these things. ¹⁷ These beasts, which are four, denote that four kingdoms shall be raised up on the earth. ¹⁸ These shall be removed, and the holy ones of the Most High shall take the kingdom and hold it to an age of the ages. ¹⁹ Then I inquired particularly concerning the fourth beast, because it was different from every beast, exceedingly dreadful. Its teeth were of iron and its claws of brass. It devoured and brake in pieces and the residue it trampled with its feet. ²⁰ And concerning the ten horns, which were on its head, and that other, which sprouted up and shook off some of the first; and which had eyes and a mouth speaking great things and the appearance of which was greater than the rest,

²⁰ And concerning the ten horns, which were on its head, and that other, which sprouted up and shook off some of the first; and which had eyes and a mouth speaking great things and the appearance of which was greater than the rest, ²¹ I beheld and that horn made war on the holy ones and prevailed against them ²² until the Ancient of days came and gave judgment for the holy ones of the Most High, and the time came and the holy ones possessed the kingdom. ²³ And he said, With regard to the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on the earth which shall surpass all the kingdoms and devour all the earth and trample down and cut to pieces.

²³ And he said, With regard to the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on the earth which shall surpass all the kingdoms and devour all the earth and trample down and cut to pieces. ²⁴ And its ten horns denote that ten kingdoms shall be raised up; and after them another shall be raised up which shall exceed in evils all those before and shall humble three kings ²⁵ and shall speak words against the Most High and wear out the holy ones of the Most High and think of changing times and law, and his shall be put in its power for a time and times and the half of a time.

²⁵ and shall speak words against the Most High and wear out the holy ones of the Most High and think of changing times and law, and his shall be put in its power for a time and times and the half of a time. ²⁶ When the court hath sat they will change this government to abolish and destroy it utterly.

²⁶ When the court hath sat they will change this government to abolish and destroy it utterly.

²⁸ To this is the end of this word. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me much and my countenance was changed. But I kept the matter in mine own heart.

²⁸ To this is the end of this word. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts troubled me much and my countenance was changed. But I kept the matter in mine own heart.

² I Daniel was at Susoi the palace which is in the province of Ailam; and being on the bank of the Oubal, ³ I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo a ram stood before the Oubal and it had lofty horns and one was higher than the other; and the highest sprang up last. ⁴ And I saw the ram butting westward and northward and southward, and of all the beasts none could stand before him nor was there any to deliver out of his hand. So he acted according to his pleasure and became great. ⁵ And while I was considering, behold a he goat came from the south west over the face of the whole earth and he did not seem to touch the ground. And the goat had a horn between his eyes.

⁵ And while I was considering, behold a he goat came from the south west over the face of the whole earth and he did not seem to touch the ground. And the goat had a horn between his eyes. ⁶ And he came to the ram which had two horns and which I saw standing before the Oubal and ran up to him with all his might. ⁷ I saw him indeed coming up to the ram and he was exasperated against him, and he smote the ram and broke his two horns and the ram had not power to stand before him. So he threw him on the ground and trampled him, and there was none to deliver the ram out of his hand.

⁷ I saw him indeed coming up to the ram and he was exasperated against him, and he smote the ram and broke his two horns and the ram had not power to stand before him. So he threw him on the ground and trampled him, and there was none to deliver the ram out of his hand. ⁸ And the goat of the goats became very great and when he was in full strength, that great horn of his was broken; and four others sprang up from under it towards the four winds of heaven.

⁸ And the goat of the goats became very great and when he was in full strength, that great horn of his was broken; and four others sprang up from under it towards the four winds of heaven. ⁹ And out from the first of them there came forth one strong horn which became very great towards the south and towards the host, ¹⁰ and its greatness reached even to the host of heaven. And there fell on the earth some of the host of heaven and some of the stars, and these were trodden down.

¹⁰ and its greatness reached even to the host of heaven. And there fell on the earth some of the host of heaven and some of the stars, and these were trodden down. ¹¹ And until the captain general should deliver the captivity, even by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed; and he was prospered; and the sanctuary is to be desolated;

¹¹ And until the captain general should deliver the captivity, even by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed; and he was prospered; and the sanctuary is to be desolated;

¹¹ And until the captain general should deliver the captivity, even by reason of him the sacrifice was disturbed; and he was prospered; and the sanctuary is to be desolated; ¹² and sin was permitted against the sacrifice; and this righteousness was cast on the ground; so he acted and was prospered.

¹² and sin was permitted against the sacrifice; and this righteousness was cast on the ground; so he acted and was prospered.

¹² and sin was permitted against the sacrifice; and this righteousness was cast on the ground; so he acted and was prospered. ¹³ And I heard a holy one speaking; and a holy one said to the Phelmoni who spoke, "How long shall this vision last, respecting the sacrifice which is taken away, and the sin of desolation which is permitted; and the sanctuary and the host be trodden down?" ¹⁴ And he said to him, Even till there shall be of an evening and a morning two thousand four hundred days. Then shall the sanctuary be cleansed. ¹⁵ And when I Daniel had seen the vision and sought the meaning, then lo! there stood before me an appearance like that of a man.

¹⁵ And when I Daniel had seen the vision and sought the meaning, then lo! there stood before me an appearance like that of a man.

¹⁵ And when I Daniel had seen the vision and sought the meaning, then lo! there stood before me an appearance like that of a man. ¹⁶ And I heard a voice of a man amidst the Oubal and it called and said, "Gabriel, instruct him respecting the vision." ¹⁷ So he came and stood near where I was standing. And when he came, I was struck with terror and fell on my face. And he said to me, Son of man, understand; for this vision also is for the end of a time.

¹⁷ So he came and stood near where I was standing. And when he came, I was struck with terror and fell on my face. And he said to me, Son of man, understand; for this vision also is for the end of a time.

¹⁹ and said, Behold I make known to thee the things which shall be in the last days of the indignation; for this vision also is for the end of a time. ²⁰ The ram which thou sawest which had the horns, is the king of the Medes and Persians. ²¹ The goat of the goats, is the king of the Grecians; and the great horn which was between his eyes is the first king. ²² Now as upon this being broken, four horns shot up from under it, four kings of that nation of his will be raised up, but not by their own might. ²³ And in the last days of their kingdom, their sins being come to the full, a king will be raised up of an unblushing countenance, skilled in problems,

²³ And in the last days of their kingdom, their sins being come to the full, a king will be raised up of an unblushing countenance, skilled in problems, ²⁴ and his power will be great, and he will destroy things which are objects of admiration and will prosper and act and destroy mighty men, and a holy people.

²⁴ and his power will be great, and he will destroy things which are objects of admiration and will prosper and act and destroy mighty men, and a holy people. ²⁵ And the yoke of his chain will prosper; and by his hand and by his heart, deceit will be magnified, and with deceit he will destroy many and for the destruction of many he will be raised up and will break them like eggs with his hands.

²⁵ And the yoke of his chain will prosper; and by his hand and by his heart, deceit will be magnified, and with deceit he will destroy many and for the destruction of many he will be raised up and will break them like eggs with his hands. ²⁶ Now the vision of the evening and the morning, which was mentioned is true. Seal thou therefore the vision, for it is for many days. ²⁷ Upon this I Daniel was confined to my bed and sick. And when I arose I did the king's business. And I was astonished at the vision; but none understood it.

² I Daniel understood by the books that the number of the years, which was a word of the Lord to Jeremias the prophet, for the accomplishment of the desolation of Jerusalem, was seventy years.

²¹ even whilst I was uttering this prayer, behold a man, Gabriel, whom I saw in the former vision, came flying and touched me about the hour of the evening sacrifice ²² and instructed me and conversed with me and said, Daniel, I am now come to teach thee knowledge. ²³ At the beginning of thy supplication a word went forth, and I am come to tell thee; for thou art a man greatly beloved. Be instructed therefore by the decree, and understand by the vision.

²⁶ and after the sixty two weeks, the Messiah shall be cut off, though there is no crime in him; and he, with the ruler who is coming, will destroy the city and the sanctuary. They shall be destroyed with a deluge, and even to the end of the war determined on in course, with desolations. ²⁷ Now one week shall confirm a covenant for many and in the half of that week my sacrifice and libation shall be taken away. And upon the temple shall be an abomination of the desolations, and at the end of a time, an end shall be put to that desolation.

²⁷ Now one week shall confirm a covenant for many and in the half of that week my sacrifice and libation shall be taken away. And upon the temple shall be an abomination of the desolations, and at the end of a time, an end shall be put to that desolation.

¹ In the third year of Cyrus, king of the Persians, a word was revealed to Daniel, surnamed Baltasar. And the word is true and great power and knowledge was given him by the vision. ² In those days, I Daniel, had been mourning three weeks.

⁵ I raised mine eyes and looked, and lo! a man clothed with a flowing robe and his loins girded with gold of Ophaz,

⁷ Now, I Daniel alone saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see it; but great consternation fell upon them and they fled for fear;

⁷ Now, I Daniel alone saw this vision. The men who were with me did not see it; but great consternation fell upon them and they fled for fear; ⁸ so I was left alone. And when I beheld this great vision, there was no strength left in me. Even my comeliness was changed into corruption and I retained no strength;

⁸ so I was left alone. And when I beheld this great vision, there was no strength left in me. Even my comeliness was changed into corruption and I retained no strength;

⁸ so I was left alone. And when I beheld this great vision, there was no strength left in me. Even my comeliness was changed into corruption and I retained no strength; ⁹ but I heard the sound of his words. And when I heard him, I was struck with awe, and my face was on the ground. ¹⁰ And lo! a hand touched me and raised me up upon my knees. ¹¹ And he said to me, Daniel, man greatly beloved, gain knowledge by the words which I speak to thee and stand up; for I am now sent to thee. And when he said this to me I stood up trembling.

¹¹ And he said to me, Daniel, man greatly beloved, gain knowledge by the words which I speak to thee and stand up; for I am now sent to thee. And when he said this to me I stood up trembling. ¹² Then he said to me, Fear not, Daniel: for from the first day that thou didst set thy heart to gain knowledge and afflict thyself before the Lord thy God, thy words were heard, and I came at thy words;

¹⁴ and am come to teach thee what will befal thy people in the last days. Because this vision is for days to come.

¹⁶ and behold a likeness as it were of a son of man touched my lips, whereupon I opened my mouth, and spoke and said to him who was standing before me, my lord, at the sight of thee my vitals are changed, and I have no strength;

¹⁸ Then an appearance like that of a man touched me again, and strengthened me

²⁰ Then he said, that thou knewest that for which I came to thee, then would I return to fight for the chief of the Persians, for as I was coming, the chief of the Grecians came. ²¹ But I will tell thee that only which is ordered in a writing of truth. There is indeed none with me solicitous about him, but only Michael your chief.

¹ As for me, I in the first year of Cyrus, was his strength and power. ² And now I will tell the truth: Behold yet three kings shall be raised up in Persia, and the fourth shall abound in great wealth above all. And after he hath gotten this his great wealth he will be stirred up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks.

² And now I will tell the truth: Behold yet three kings shall be raised up in Persia, and the fourth shall abound in great wealth above all. And after he hath gotten this his great wealth he will be stirred up against all the kingdoms of the Greeks. ³ But there will be raised up a mighty king who will be lord of a great dominion and will do according to his pleasure.

³ But there will be raised up a mighty king who will be lord of a great dominion and will do according to his pleasure. ⁴ But as soon as his kingdom hath been set up, it will be broken in pieces and divided towards the four winds of heaven, but not to his utmost bounds, nor according to his dominion which he ruled. For his kingdom will be torn to pieces, and given to others besides these.

¹¹ carried even to his fortress. Then will the king of the south be furiously enraged, and he will come out and fight the king of the north, who will array a great multitude, but this multitude will be delivered into his hand.

¹⁶ So that he who cometh against him, will do according to his pleasure, and there is none able to stand before him. So he will stand in the land of Sabei, and it will be perfected by his hand.

²¹ And on his throne one will be settled, who was despised and on whom they did not confer the honour of a kingdom. But he will come to it peaceably and obtain the kingdom by obsequiousness.

²¹ And on his throne one will be settled, who was despised and on whom they did not confer the honour of a kingdom. But he will come to it peaceably and obtain the kingdom by obsequiousness. ²² And the arms of the overwhelmer will be overwhelmed at his presence, and they with the ruler of the covenant will be destroyed. ²³ Because of the associations against him, he will practise guile and come up and overpower them with a small nation ²⁴ and come peaceably into rich provinces, and do what neither his fathers, nor his fathers' fathers ever did. Plunder and spoils and wealth he will scatter among them; and against Egypt he will forecast devices even for a time.

²⁴ and come peaceably into rich provinces, and do what neither his fathers, nor his fathers' fathers ever did. Plunder and spoils and wealth he will scatter among them; and against Egypt he will forecast devices even for a time. ²⁵ And his power and his heart will be stirred up against a king of the south, with a great army; and the king of the south will join battle with an exceeding great and powerful army;

²⁵ And his power and his heart will be stirred up against a king of the south, with a great army; and the king of the south will join battle with an exceeding great and powerful army; ²⁶ but they will not stand; for they will form devices against him and devour his substance and crush him, and armies will be overwhelmed, and many wounded shall fall. ²⁷ Then both the kings with their hearts bent on mischief will speak lies at one table. But it will not prosper. Because an end is still put off for a time,

²⁷ Then both the kings with their hearts bent on mischief will speak lies at one table. But it will not prosper. Because an end is still put off for a time, ²⁸ therefore he will return to his own land with much wealth and his heart will be against the holy covenant, and he will act and return to his own land.

²⁸ therefore he will return to his own land with much wealth and his heart will be against the holy covenant, and he will act and return to his own land. ²⁹ At the time he will return and come to the south; but this last expedition will not be like the first: ³⁰ for the Kitians who set out at the same time will arrive, and he will be humbled. Then he will return and will be inflamed with wrath against the holy covenant. And he will act and return and keep up an intelligence with them who have forsaken the holy covenant.

³⁰ for the Kitians who set out at the same time will arrive, and he will be humbled. Then he will return and will be inflamed with wrath against the holy covenant.

³¹ And seeds out of him will spring up, and the sanctuary of the dominion will be polluted; and the daily sacrifice will be removed; and there will be set up an abomination which hath caused desolation,

³¹ And seeds out of him will spring up, and the sanctuary of the dominion will be polluted; and the daily sacrifice will be removed; and there will be set up an abomination which hath caused desolation, ³² which they who break covenant will bring in by flatteries. But the people who acknowledge their God will take courage and act.

³² which they who break covenant will bring in by flatteries. But the people who acknowledge their God will take courage and act.

³² which they who break covenant will bring in by flatteries.

³³ And the men of understanding among the people will keep up an intelligence for many purposes; but they will be weakened by sword and by fire, and by captivity, and by plundering, for days.

³³ And the men of understanding among the people will keep up an intelligence for many purposes; but they will be weakened by sword and by fire, and by captivity, and by plundering, for days. ³⁴ And when they are weak, they will be helped with a little help. And many will join them by flatteries.

³⁴ And when they are weak, they will be helped with a little help. And many will join them by flatteries. ³⁵ Then some of the wise will be weak that they may be tried and chosen, and that at a time the end may be revealed.

³⁵ Then some of the wise will be weak that they may be tried and chosen, and that at a time the end may be revealed. ³⁶ Because it is still for a time, therefore he will act according to his pleasure. And this king will be exalted and magnified above every god, and will speak swelling words, and prosper until the indignation is completed: for it is coming to a completion.

³⁶ Because it is still for a time, therefore he will act according to his pleasure. And this king will be exalted and magnified above every god, and will speak swelling words, and prosper until the indignation is completed: for it is coming to a completion.

³⁶ Because it is still for a time, therefore he will act according to his pleasure. And this king will be exalted and magnified above every god, and will speak swelling words, and prosper until the indignation is completed: for it is coming to a completion. ³⁷ Though with all the gods of his fathers, he will not keep up any intelligence, including even the desire of women; though he will not pay respect to any thing divine, because he will magnify himself above them all,

³⁷ Though with all the gods of his fathers, he will not keep up any intelligence, including even the desire of women; though he will not pay respect to any thing divine, because he will magnify himself above them all, ³⁸ yet in his place he will glorify god Maozim; even a god which his fathers knew not, he will glorify with gold and silver, and precious stones, and with desirable things, ³⁹ and act for the fortresses of them who have taken refuge with a strange God, and he will multiply glory and subject many to them and distribute lands for gifts. ⁴⁰ And at the end of a time there will be conflicts with the king of the south, and against him there will be brought a king of the north, with chariots and horsemen, and many ships, which shall invade the land,

⁴⁰ And at the end of a time there will be conflicts with the king of the south, and against him there will be brought a king of the north, with chariots and horsemen, and many ships, which shall invade the land, ⁴¹ and he will break in pieces and pass through and come to the land of Sabaim, and many will be weak. But these will escape out of his hand, namely, Edom and Moab and the children of Ammon. ⁴² And he will stretch forth his hand against this land, and the land of Egypt will be no security. ⁴³ And he will be master of the hidden stores of gold and silver, and of all the desirable things of Egypt, and of the Lybians and Ethiopians, in their strong holds. ⁴⁴ And when reports and disturbances shall trouble him from the east, and from the north, he will then come with great wrath to destroy many, ⁴⁵ and he will pitch his tent at Ephadanus between the seas on the holy mountain Sabaim. Then he will come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him.

⁴⁵ and he will pitch his tent at Ephadanus between the seas on the holy mountain Sabaim. Then he will come to his portion, and there is none to deliver him.

⁴ As for thee, Daniel, shut up these words and seal the book till the time of accomplishment; until many be taught and knowledge abound. ⁵ Then I Daniel looked, and lo! two others stood, one on this bank of the river and the other on the other bank of the river.

⁵ Then I Daniel looked, and lo! two others stood, one on this bank of the river and the other on the other bank of the river. ⁶ And one said to the man clothed with the flowing robes who was over the water of the river, How long to the end of these wonderful things which thou hast spoken?

⁶ And one said to the man clothed with the flowing robes who was over the water of the river, How long to the end of these wonderful things which thou hast spoken? ⁷ And I heard the man clothed with the fine robes who was over the water of the river. He lifted up his right and his left hand to heaven and sware by him who liveth forever and ever that it will be until a time of times and the half of a time. When an end is put to the dispersion, they will know all these things.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed with the fine robes who was over the water of the river. He lifted up his right and his left hand to heaven and sware by him who liveth forever and ever that it will be until a time of times and the half of a time.

⁷ And I heard the man clothed with the fine robes who was over the water of the river. He lifted up his right and his left hand to heaven and sware by him who liveth forever and ever that it will be until a time of times and the half of a time. When an end is put to the dispersion, they will know all these things. ⁸ As for me though I heard I did not understand. So I said, Lord, What will be the issue of these things?

⁸ As for me though I heard I did not understand. So I said, Lord, What will be the issue of these things? ⁹ And he said, Come Daniel. Because these words are shut up and sealed until the end of a time.

¹¹ Now from the time of the change of the daily sacrifice, when the abomination of desolation shall be set up there will be a thousand two hundred and ninety days.

¹³ But as for thee, come and go to rest, for still there will be days and hours to the final accomplishment. And thou shalt stand up for thy portion at the end of days.

³ and said to her, "Thou shalt continue many days for me and shalt not play the harlot nor have commerce with man, then I will be for thee; ⁴ for the children of Israel shall continue many days without a king and without a chief, and without a sacrifice and without an altar and without a priesthood, and without manifestations;

⁸ the remnant of Jacob shall be among the nations in the midst of many peoples, like a lion among beasts of the forest, and like a young lion among flocks of sheep; so that when he passeth through and hath made a choice, he may tear and there shall be none to deliver.

³ for the vision is for a time yet to come. But it will spring up at last and will not be vain. Though he may tarry, wait for him; for he will assuredly come and will not fail.

¹⁶ I watched myself; and at the sound of the prayer of my lips my bowels trembled and a tremor seized my bones; and under me my whole frame quivered. I shall be at rest in the day of affliction, at the time of his coining to the people of my neighbourhood.

⁹ And I said, Lord what are these: and the angel who was talking with me said to me, I will shew thee what these are.

⁹ And I said, Lord what are these: and the angel who was talking with me said to me, I will shew thee what these are. ¹⁰ Then the man who stood between the mountains, addressing me said, These are they whom the Lord sent to go round this land. ¹¹ Then they addressed the angel of the Lord who stood between the mountains, and said. We have gone round all this land, and lo all the land is inhabited, and quiet. ¹² And the angel of the Lord, answered and said, O Lord Almighty, how long wilt thou not have mercy on Jerusalem, and the cities of Juda, which thou hast overlooked those seventy years?

¹⁸ Then I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo, four horns! ¹⁹ and I said to the angel who was talking with me, Lord, what are these? And he said to me, These are the horns which have scattered Juda and Israel and Jerusalem.

¹ Then I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo! a man with a measuring line in his hand!

³ Now behold the angel who had been talking with me had stopped; and another angel came out to meet him ⁴ and spoke to him saying, "Run and speak to that young man and say, "Jerusalem shall be crouded with inhabitants by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.

⁴ and spoke to him saying, "Run and speak to that young man and say, "Jerusalem shall be crouded with inhabitants by reason of the multitude of men and cattle therein.

¹ Then the angel who talked with me turned and roused me, as when a man is roused from his sleep,

¹ Then I turned and lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo! a flying sickle.

⁵ Then the angel who was talking with me went out and said to me, Look up with thine eyes and see this which is going out.

⁹ And I lifted up mine eyes and looked, and lo! two women came out, and there was a wind by their wings. Now they had the wings of a stork. And when they had lifted up the measure between heaven and earth,

¹ Then I turned, and lifting up mine eyes I looked, and lo! four chariots came out from between two mountains. And the mountains were mountains of brass.

¹⁴ and I will cast them out into all the nations which they knew not; and the land behind them shall be a desolation, without a traveller and without a sojourner."

⁵ And the valley of my mountains shall be blocked up; and the valley of mountains shall be closed up even to Jasod. It shall be blocked up as it was in the days of the earthquake; in the days of Ozias king of Juda. And when the Lord my God shall come and all the holy ones with him,

²⁷ All things are delivered up to me by my father; and none but the father knoweth the son; nor doth any know the father, but only the son, and he to whom the son is pleased to reveal him.

³⁶ Then Jesus dismissed the multitude and went into the house, and his disciples came to him and said, Explain to us the parable of the darnel in the field.

⁸ And having lifted up their eyes they saw none but Jesus only.

³² As for you then, fill up the measure of your fathers.

¹⁵ Therefore when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by Daniel the prophet, standing in a holy place, [reader attend!]

³⁰ And then, all the tribes of the land will mourn: and they shall see the son of man coming on the clouds of heaven, with power and great glory. ³¹ And he will send out his messengers with a loud sounding trumpet, and they will gather his chosen ones from the four winds; from one extremity of heaven to the other.

¹² so that seeing they see, though they may not perceive; and hearing they hear, though they may not understand. Perhaps they may turn, that their sins may be forgiven them.

⁴ And there appeared to them Elias with Moses, who were conversing with Jesus. ⁵ Whereupon Peter, addressing Jesus, said, Rabbi, It is well that we are here. Let us make three booths, one for thee, and one for Moses, and one for Elias.

¹⁴ Now when you see the abomination of desolation, which was spoken of by the prophet Daniel, erected where it ought not [ Reader attend!] then let them who are in Judea flee to the mountains;

²⁷ And then he will send his messengers and gather his chosen ones from the four winds from the remotest part of the earth to the remotest part of heaven.

¹⁹ In reply to which, the angel said to him, I am Gabriel, who attend in the presence of God: and I am sent to speak to thee, and to tell thee these glad tidings.

²⁶ Arid in the sixth month, God sent the angel Gabriel to a city of Galilee, named Nazareth,

³² Now Peter, and they who were with him, had been overpowered with sleep; but awaking thoroughly, they saw his glory, and the two men who were standing with him.

²² All things are delivered up to me by my Father; and none knoweth who the Son is, except the Father; nor who the Father is, except the Son, and he to whom the Son will please to reveal him.

⁵ Again as some were speaking of the temple, how it was adorned with beautiful stones and dedications, he said, ⁶ With regard to all those things on which you are gazing, days will come in which there will not be one stone left on another, which shall not be thrown down

²⁰ and when you see Jerusalem encompassed by armies, then know that its desolation is near.

²⁴ They shall fall by the edge of the sword, and be led captives to all nations: and Jerusalem shall be trampled down by nations until the times of nations shall be fulfilled.

⁴⁵ Then he arose from prayer, and went to his disciples, and found them asleep, oppressed with grief.

¹⁸ No one hath ever seen God. This only begotten son, who is in the bosom of the father, even he hath made him known.

⁷ Now the men who accompanied him were amazed, hearing indeed the sound, but seeing no one.

¹³ And there came a voice to him, Rise Peter; Kill And Eat.

²³ And instantly an angel of the Lord smote him, because he gave not God the glory. And being gnawed by worms he died.

⁶ And now I stand arraigned for a hope of the promise which God made to our fathers,

²⁶ and then at length all Israel shall be saved. As it is written "For the sake of Sion the Deliverer will come And turn away ungodliness from Jacob: ²⁷ And this shall be my covenant with them When I take away their sins.

⁸ The scripture indeed, foreseeing that God would justify the nations for belief, predicted to Abraham the glad tidings [in these words] "By thee all the nations shall be blessed."

¹⁶ hindering us from speaking to the nations that they may be saved; thus, filling up the measure of their sins continually: but the wrath is at last coming upon them,]

¹ But the spirit saith expressly that in latter times some will apostatise from this belief, giving heed to seducing spirits, and doctrines concerning demons,

¹ GOD, who in sundry parcels and in divers manners spake in time past to the fathers by the prophets,

¹⁴ Are they not all ministering spirits sent forth on service on the account of them who are to be heirs of salvation?

¹⁰ For it became him for whom are all things, and by whom are all things, when bringing many sons to glory to make the leader of their salvation perfect by sufferings.

²⁹ Of how much greater punishment, think ye, will he be thought worthy, who hath trampled upon the Son of God, and accounted the blood of the covenant, by which he was sanctified, a common thing, and treated contemptuously the spirit of grace?

¹⁰ about which salvation the prophets, who prophesied concerning this favour for you, made diligent inquiry ¹¹ and search, trying to find to what time, and what manner of time, the spirit of Christ within them pointed, when it testified before hand the sufferings which were for Christ, and the glories which should succeed them: ¹² to whom it was revealed that it was not for themselves, but for us, that they dispensed those things which have now been announced to you by them who proclaimed to you the glad tidings with a holy spirit sent from heaven; into which things angels have an earnest desire to look narrowly.

¹⁴ Now to such as these Enoch, the seventh from Adam, prophesied, saying, "Behold the Lord is coming with his holy myriads

¹ A REVELATION of Jesus Christ, which God gave him, to shew to his servants things which must shortly come to pass, and which he sent by his angel, and signified to his servant John,

¹² Whereupon I turned to look towards the voice which spake to me; and upon turning about, I saw seven golden candlesticks, ¹³ and in the midst of the seven golden candlesticks one like a son of man, clothed with a robe down to the feet, and girded about the breast with a golden girdle;

¹⁷ And when I saw him I fell at his feet as one dead. Whereupon he laid his right hand on me, and said to me, "Fear not. I am the first and the last,

¹⁰ And they cried with a loud voice, saying, "How long, O sovereign, the holy one and the true, dost thou defer judging and avenging our blood on the inhabitants of the earth?"

¹ And after this I saw four angels standing at the four corners of the earth holding fast the four winds of the earth that no wind might blow on the earth or on the sea or on any tree.

⁴ And when the seven thunders had uttered their voices I was going to write. And I heard a voice from heaven saying to me. "Seal up those things which the seven thunders uttered and write them not.

⁷ but that in the days of the voice of the seventh angel, when he shall have sounded, as he soon will, the mystery of God shall be completed as he revealed the glad tidings to his servants the prophets.

² but leave out the court which is on the outside of the temple and measure it not; for it is given to the nations and they shall trample the holy city forty two months.

² but leave out the court which is on the outside of the temple and measure it not; for it is given to the nations and they shall trample the holy city forty two months. ³ And I will give to my two witnesses and they shall prophesy a thousand two hundred and sixty days clothed in sackcloth.

¹⁵ Then the seventh angel sounded and there were loud voices in heaven, saying, "The kingdoms of the world are become [the kingdom] of our Lord and of his Christ, and he shall reign for the ages of the ages.

¹⁸ The nations indeed were enraged and thy wrath came and the time for the dead to be avenged and for giving the reward to thy servants the teachers and to the saints and to them who fear thy name, small and great, and for destroying them who destroy the earth.

⁴ and his tail dragged the third part of the stars of heaven and threw them on the earth. And the dragon stood before the woman who was in labour, that when she brought forth he might devour her child.

¹⁴ and to the woman were given two wings of the great eagle that she might fly to the wilderness to her place where she is nourished for a time and times and the half of a time from the face of the serpent.

³ And I saw one of its heads as if wounded to death; and this deadly wound of it was healed; and the whole earth followed this beast with admiration. ⁴ And they worshipped the dragon who had given the beast authority; and they worshipped the beast, saying, "Who is like this beast? Who is able to fight with it?" ⁵ And to it was given a mouth speaking great things and blasphemies. And power was given it to make war forty-two months.

⁶ And it opened its mouth for blasphemy against God, to slander his name and his tabernacle and them, who dwell in heaven. ⁷ And power was given it to make war against the saints and to conquer them; and authority was given it over every tribe and tongue and nation;

⁷ And power was given it to make war against the saints and to conquer them; and authority was given it over every tribe and tongue and nation; ⁸ and it is to be worshipped by all the inhabitants of the earth whose names are not written from the foundation of the world in the book of life of the Lamb that was slain. ⁹ If any one hath an ear to hear let him hear. ¹⁰ If any one gathereth [prisoners] for captivity; into captivity he goeth; if any one shall kill with the sword; with the sword he ought to be slain. Here is the perseverance and the faith of the saints. ¹¹ And I saw another wild beast coming up out of the earth; and it had two horns like a lamb; and it spake like a dragon;

¹¹ And I saw another wild beast coming up out of the earth; and it had two horns like a lamb; and it spake like a dragon; ¹² and it executeth all the authority of the first beast in its presence and causeth the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed.

¹² and it executeth all the authority of the first beast in its presence and causeth the earth and its inhabitants to worship the first beast whose deadly wound was healed. ¹³ And it performeth great signs so as to cause fire to come down out of heaven on the earth, in the sight of men;

¹³ And it performeth great signs so as to cause fire to come down out of heaven on the earth, in the sight of men; ¹⁴ and it leadeth astray the dwellers on the earth by the signs which it had power to do in the presence of the beast; commanding the inhabitants of die earth to make an image of the beast which had the wound of a sword and lived.

¹⁴ and it leadeth astray the dwellers on the earth by the signs which it had power to do in the presence of the beast; commanding the inhabitants of die earth to make an image of the beast which had the wound of a sword and lived. ¹⁵ And power was granted to it to give breath to the image of the beast, so that the image of the beast might speak and cause all to be slain who would not worship the image of the beast. ¹⁶ And it causeth all both little and great, both rich and poor, both freemen and slaves to receive a mark on their right hand or on their foreheads, ¹⁷ and that none should buy or sell, but he who hath the mark, or the name of the beast or the number of its name. ¹⁸ Here is wisdom. Let him who hath understanding calculate the number of the beast; for its number is that of a man and its number is 666.

¹ Then I saw another sign in heaven great and wonderful: seven angels having the seven last plagues because by them the wrath of God was finished.

⁶ Because they poured out the blood of thy saints and prophets, therefore thou hast given them blood to drink, for they deserve it.

⁶ And I saw the woman drunk with the blood of the saints and with the blood of the witnesses of Jesus; and when I saw her I expressed my astonishment with great amaze.

¹² and the ten horns which thou sawest are ten kings who have not yet received a kingdom, but are about to take authority as kings one short period of time with the beast. ¹³ These have one mind and will transfer their power and authority to the beast. ¹⁴ These will make war against the lamb, and the lamb will overcome them; for he is Lord of lords and King of kings; and they who are with him are called and chosen and faithful.

¹⁷ For God hath put it into their hearts to execute his sentence and to execute one design and to give their kingdom to the beast until the words of God are accomplished.

² for true and righteous are his judgments; for he hath passed sentence on the great harlot who corrupted the earth with her fornication; and hath avenged the blood of his servants, at her hand.

⁹ Then [the angel] saith to me, Write, Happy they who are invited to the marriage supper of the lamb! then he saith to me, These are the true words of God. ¹⁰ Whereupon I fell down at his feet to worship him. And he saith to me, See thou do not. I am the fellow servant of thee and of thy brethren who have the testimony of Jesus. Worship God. For the spirit of this prophecy is the testimony of Jesus.

¹³ and he was clothed with a mantle dipped in blood; and his name is The Word or God. ¹⁴ And the armies in heaven clad in cotton robes white and clean followed him on white horses. ¹⁵ And out of his mouth issueth a sharp sword that with it he may smite the nations. And he himself tendeth them with an iron crook; and he himself treadeth the press of the venemous and raging wine of God Almighty. ¹⁶ And he hath on his mantle and on his thigh this name written King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords.

¹⁶ And he hath on his mantle and on his thigh this name written King Of Kings And Lord Of Lords.

¹⁹ And I saw the beast and the kings of the earth and their armies assembled to come to a battle with him who was mounted on the horse and with his army. ²⁰ And the beast was taken and with him the false prophet who did these signs before him by which he led astray them who had received the mark of the beast, and them who worshipped his image.

Both these were cast alive into the lake of fire burning with brimstone; ²¹ and the rest were slain with the sword of him who was mounted on the horse; with that which issueth out of his mouth; and all the birds were glutted with their flesh.

⁸ Now, I John saw and heard these things. And when I had heard and seen I prostrated myself to worship at the feet of the angel who pointed them out to me;
