Daniel
Chapters 8:22-27
New International Version Anglicized
22The four horns that replaced the one that was broken off represent four kingdoms that will emerge from his nation but will not have the same power.
23‘In the latter part of their reign, when rebels have become completely wicked, a fierce-looking king, a master of intrigue, will arise.
24He will become very strong, but not by his own power. He will cause astounding devastation and will succeed in whatever he does. He will destroy those who are mighty, the holy people.
25He will cause deceit to prosper, and he will consider himself superior. When they feel secure, he will destroy many and take his stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be destroyed, but not by human power.
26‘The vision of the evenings and mornings that has been given you is true, but seal up the vision, for it concerns the distant future.’
27I, Daniel, was worn out. I lay exhausted for several days. Then I got up and went about the king’s business. I was appalled by the vision; it was beyond understanding.
