Daniel 9:1-27 The Prophecy from The Time of Rebuilding Jerusalem Until the Messiah

 

The Prophecy from The Time of Rebuilding Jerusalem Until the Messiah

Daniel 9:1-27                    The Book of Daniel [in Smaller Chunks]

[During] the 1st year, [Ahasuerus's] son, Darius, [from] the [descendants] of the Medes, was made king, [over] the [Chaldeans' kingdom] & [ruled,] Daniel, understood the number of years, by the books [in which] the Word of the Lord  came to Jeremiah, the prophet, [so] that he would accomplish 70 years [during Jerusalem's] desolations.

[Jeremiah 25:11-12 The Lord says, And this whole land shall be [desolate] & an astonishment. And these nations shall serve the king of Babylon, 70 years. And it shall [happen,] when 70 years are [finished,] that I will punish [Babylon's] king, & that nation, for their [sins] & will make the land of the Chaldean's, [a.k.a. Babylon, continually desolate.]

And by prayer & [petitions] I [focused] my face [on] the Lord God, with fasting, sackcloth, & ashes. [Isaiah 22:12 And [on] that day, the Lord God of Hosts, [called to:] weeping; mourning; baldness; & [clothing] with sackcloth.]

And I prayed to the Lord my God & made my confession & said, O Lord, the great & [dreadfully awesome,] God, [Who keeps] the covenant [contract, with] mercy to [those, who] love Him, & to [those, who] keep His commandments.

We have sinned & have committed [what is] iniquity; have done wickedly; & have rebelled, even by [leaving] from Your precepts, [a.k.a. Commandments] & judgments.

[Mark 7:6-7 He answered & said to them, [Isaiah] has prophesied well of you hypocrites, as it is written, This people honor Me with their lips, but their heart is far from Me. [However] they worship Me in vain, teaching for doctrines, the commandments of men.]

Neither have we [paid attention] to Your servants, the prophets, [who spoke] in Your Name to our: kings; princes; [forefathers;] & to all the people of the land. [Matthew 23:37-39 O Jerusalem, Jerusalem, you, [who] kill the prophets & stone [those, who] are sent to you.

How often I would have gathered your children together, even [like] a hen gathers her chickens under her wings, & you would not! [Look,] your house is left to you desolate. For I say to you, You shall not see Me [from now on, until] you shall say, Blessed is He, [Who] comes in the Name of the Lord.]

O Lord, righteousness belongs to You, but to us, [belongs] [shameful] faces, [like it is] this day, [for] the men of Judah; the [residents] of Jerusalem & all Israel, [who] are near & far [away,] through all the countries, [where] You have driven them, because of their [sins] that they have trespassed against You.

[Shameful] faces belong to us, O Lord, & to our: kings; princes; & [forefathers;] because we have sinned against You. To the Lord our God, belong: mercies & [forgiveness, although] we have rebelled against Him.

[Nehemiah 9:16-18 But they & our [forefathers behaved] proudly & hardened their necks & [didn't pay attention] to Your commandments & refused to obey [them.] Neither were they mindful of your wonders, [a.k.a. miracles,] that You did among them, but [they] hardened their necks.

And in their rebellion, [they] appointed a captain to return to their bondage. But You are a God ready to pardon, gracious; merciful; & slow to anger, [with] great kindness & [didn't abandon] them. [Yet,] when they made themselves a [moded] calf, & said, This is your God that brought you up out of Egypt, [they] have [done] great provocations.]

Neither have we obeyed the voice of the Lord our God, to [follow] in His Laws, [that] He [put] before us, by His servants, the prophets. [Yes,] all Israel have [sinned against] Your Law, even by [leaving, so] that they might not obey Your voice.

Therefore, the curse is poured [out] upon us & the oath written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, because we have sinned against Him. [Jeremiah 23:1-2 The Lord says, Woe be to the pastors, [a.k.a. shepherds, who] destroy & scatter the sheep of My pasture!

Therefore, the Lord God of Israel says [this] against the pastors, [who] feed My people. You have scattered My flock, & have driven them away & haven't visited them. [Watch,] I will visit, [a.k.a. punish,] you [with] the evil of your [actions,] says the Lord.]

And He has [verified] His Words, [that] He [spoke] against us & against our judges, [who] judged us, by bringing great [disaster] upon us. For [what] has been done [to] Jerusalem, hasn't been done under the whole heaven.

[Jeremiah 1:16 And I will [express] My judgments against them [about] all their wickedness. [Those,] who have [abandoned] Me & have burned incense to other gods & worshiped the works [made by] their own hands.]

As it is written in the Law of Moses, all this evil [has] come upon us, & [still] we [didn't make] our prayer before the Lord our God, [so] that we might [return] from our [sins] & understand Your Truth.

[Judges 10:11-14 And the Lord said to the children [people] of Israel, Didn't I deliver you from the: Egyptians; Amorites; children [people] of Ammon; & the Philistines? Also, the: Zidonians, [a.k.a. Sidonians;] Amalekites; & the Maonites, [oppressed] you.

And you cried [out] to Me, & I delivered you out of their hand. Yet, you have [abandoned] Me, & served other gods. [For this reason,] I won't deliver you [anymore.] Go & cry [out] to the gods, [that] you have chosen. Let them deliver you in the time of your [troubles.]

Therefore, the Lord has watched upon the evil & brought it upon us. For the Lord our God is righteous in all His works [that] He does. For we [didn't] obey His voice. And now, O Lord our God, [Who] has brought Your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand & [have] gotten [fame] for Yourself, [like] this day. We have sinned & we have done wickedly.

O Lord, I [urge] You, according to all Your righteousness. Let Your anger & fury be turned away from Your city, Jerusalem, & Your Holy mountain: because [of] our sins & our [forefathers' sins.] Jerusalem & Your people [have] become a [disgrace] to all, [who] are [around] us.

Therefore, now, O our God, hear the prayer of Your servant & his [petitions,] & [make] Your face to shine upon Your sanctuary, that is desolate, for the Lord's sake.

[2 Kings 24:13 And he carried out of [there] all the treasures of the [Lord's] house, & the treasures of the king's house, & cut in pieces all the gold vessels, [that] Solomon made, as the Lord had said,] [that were] in the temple of the Lord.]

O my God, [lean] Your ear & hear. Open Your eyes & [see] our [desolation] & the city [that] is called by Your Name. For we don't present our [prayers] before You, for our [righteousness,] but for Your great mercies. O Lord, hear. O Lord, forgive. O Lord, [listen] & do & [don't delay,] for Your Own sake, O my God.

For Your city & Your people are called by Your Name. And [while] I was: speaking; praying; confessing my sin & the [sins] of my people, Israel, & presenting my [requests] before the Lord my God for the Holy mountain of my God.

[Yes, while] I was speaking [through] prayer, even the man, Gabriel, whom I had seen in the vision, at the beginning, [who was able] to fly swiftly, [reached] me about the time of the evening [offering.] And he informed me & talked with me & said, O Daniel, I [have] now come [out] to give you skill & understanding.

At the beginning of your [requests,] the commandment came [out] & I [have] come to [declare] [these things to] you: for you are greatly beloved. Therefore, understand [this] matter & [think about] the vision.

Upon your people & upon your Holy city, 70 weeks are determined to finish the: transgression; to make an end of [the] sins; to make reconciliation, [a.k.a. atonement,] for [sin;] & to bring everlasting righteousness; to seal up the vision & [the] prophecy, & to anoint the Most Holy.

*Therefore, know & understand that from the commandment going [out] to restore & [rebuild] Jerusalem, [until] the Messiah, the Prince, shall be 7 weeks, [plus] 3 score, [a.k.a. 60, plus] 2 weeks, [a.k.a. 69 weeks.] The street shall be [rebuilt] again, & the wall, even in [troublesome] times.

[Matthew 1:17 So, all the generations from Abraham to David, are 14 generations. And from David, until the carrying away [captive] to Babylon, are 14 generations. And from the carrying away into Babylon, [until] Christ, are 14 generations.]

And after  3 score, [a,k.a. 60, plus] 2 weeks, [a.k.a. 62 weeks,] [the] Messiah shall be cut off. [John 19:30 Therefore, when Jesus had received the vinegar, He said, It is finished. And He bowed His head & gave up the ghost.]

But not for Himself. [Matthew 20:28 *Even [like] the Son of Man [didn't] come to be ministered to, but to minister, & to give His life [as] a ransom for many.]

And the people of the prince, [who] shall come, shall destroy the city & the sanctuary. And [its] end, shall be with a flood. [Isaiah 59:19 So, shall they fear [respect] the Name of the Lord, from the West, & His glory from the rising of the sun, [a.k.a. the East.] When the enemy shall come in like a flood, the Spirit of the Lord shall lift up a [banner] against him.]

And [until] the end of the desolations are determined. [Mark 13:19 For [during] those days, shall be affliction, such as [hasn't been] from the beginning of the creation, [that] God created, [until] this time, & neither shall be [again.]

And he shall confirm the covenant [contract] with many for 1 week, & in the [middle] of the week, he shall cause the sacrifice & the [offering] to [stop.] And, [because of] the [overwhelming] abominations, he shall make it desolate, even until the consummation, [a.k.a. destruction.]

[Revelation 20:9-10 And they went up on the breadth of the earth & [surrounded around] the camp of the saints & the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven & devoured them.

And the devil, [who] deceived them, was cast into the lake of fire & brimstone, where the beast & the false prophet are, & shall be tormented day & night, forever & ever.]

And [what was] determined, [a.k.a. decided,] shall be poured [out] upon the desolate. [Mark 13:14 But when you shall see the abomination of desolation, standing where it [shouldn't,] spoken of by Daniel, the prophet, (let him, [who] reads understand.) Then, let [those, who are] in Judea flee to the mountains.]

Daniel 8:1-27 Daniel Has a Vision of a Ram & a Goat

 

Daniel Has a Vision of a Ram & a Goat

Daniel 8:1-27                   The Book of Daniel [in Smaller Chunks]

[During] the 3rd year king Belshazzar [ruled,] a vision appeared to me, even to me, Daniel, [similar] to [what had] appeared to me, at the [beginning.] And when I saw in a vision, that I was in the palace, at Sushan, [a.k.a Susa,] which is in the province of Elam. And in [this] vision I saw, I was by the River of Ulai & it [happened.]

Then, I lifted up [my] eyes & [looked] & saw a ram stood there [in front of] the river, [that] had 2 horns. And the 2 horns were high; but 1 was higher than the other, & the higher [horn] came up last. I saw the ram [butting toward the: [West, North & South;] so that no beasts might stand [in front of] him.

Neither was there any that could deliver out of his hand, [a.k.a. under his control.] But he did according to his will, & became great. And as I was [contemplating] [this, I] [saw a male] goat came from the West, [over] the [surface] of the whole earth, & [didn't] touch the ground.

And the goat had a [noteworthy] horn between his eyes. And [the goat] came to the ram that had 2 horns, [that] I had seen standing [in front of] the river & ran to him, in fury of his power.

And I saw [the goat] come close to the ram & he was moved with [rage] against him & [attacked] the ram, & [broke the ram's] 2 horns. And there was no [longer any] power in the ram to stand before [the goat,] but [the goat] cast the ram down to the ground, & [trampled] upon him.

And there was [no one] that could deliver the ram out of [the goat's] hand. Therefore, the [male] goat [grew] very great. And when he was strong, the great horn was broken & [instead of] it, 4 [noteworthy] ones came up toward the 4 winds of heaven.

[Daniel 11:3-4 And a mighty king shall stand up, [who] shall rule with great dominion, [a.k.a. power & influence over others,] & do according to his will. And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken & shall be divided toward the 4 winds of heaven.

And not to his posterity, [a.k.a. descendants,] nor according to his dominion, [a.k.a. kingdom, that] he ruled. For his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others [besides] those.]

And out of 1 of [the horns,] a little horn came [out, that grew exceedingly] great, toward the: South, East, & the pleasant land, [a.k.a. Israel.] And [the little horn,] grew great, even to the host, [a.k.a. constellations] of heaven.

And [the little horn,] cast down some of the [constellations] & stars to the ground & [trampled] upon them. [Yes,] he magnified himself, even to the Prince of the Host. And by [the little horn,] the daily sacrifice was taken away, & the place of [the Lord's] sanctuary was cast down.

[Because of sin,] an [army] was given [over to the little horn to oppose,] the daily sacrifice & he [threw] truth down to the ground, & [he] [rehearsed this] & prospered.

[Daniel 11:36-39 And the king shall do according to his will; & he shall exalt himself, & magnify himself above every god, & shall speak marvelous, [a.k.a. astonishing] things against the God of gods. And [he] shall prosper [until] the indignation [is] accomplished, for [what] is determined shall be done.

Neither shall he regard, [a.k.a. respect] the God of his [forefathers,] nor the desire of women, nor regard any god. For he shall magnify himself above all. But in [the Lord God's] [place,] he shall honor the [god] of [military] forces.

He shall honor a god [that] his [forefathers didn't know,] with gold, silver, precious stones, & pleasant things. He shall do [this,] in most [of the] strongholds, with a strange god, [that] he shall acknowledge & increase [its] glory. And he shall cause them to rule over many & shall divide the land for [financial] gain.]

Then, I heard one saint, [a.k.a. Holy one,] speaking & another saint said to that [same] saint [who spoke,] How long [until] the vision shall be [about] the daily sacrifice; the transgression, [a.k.a. abomination,] of desolation, & to give both the sanctuary and the Host; [a.k.a. God's people,] to be [trampled] under foot?

[Ephesians 6:11-12 Put on the whole armor of God, [so] that you may be able to [withstand] against the [devil's] wiles, [a.k.a. schemes.] For we [don't] wrestle against flesh & blood, but against principalities; against powers; against the rulers of the darkness of this world; & against spiritual wickedness in high places.]

And he said to me, [Until] 2,300 days. Then the sanctuary shall be cleansed.     [2 Peter 3:8 But, beloved [don't] be ignorant of this one thing, that one day [for] the Lord, [is like] 1,000 years. And a 1,000 years [is like] one day.]

And it [happened,] when I, even I, Daniel, had seen the vision & [searched] for [its] meaning. Then, I [saw] the [image] of a man stood there [in front of] me. And between the [river] banks of the Ulai, & I heard a man's voice, which called & said, Gabriel, make this man understand the vision.

So, he came near where I stood. And when he came, I was afraid & fell upon my face. But [Gabriel] said to me, O son of man, understand; for the vision shall be at the time of the end.

[Daniel 12:6-7 And one said to the man clothed in linen, [who] was upon the waters of the river, How long shall it be [until] the end of these wonders? And I heard the man clothed in linen, [who] was upon the waters of the river, when he held up his right & left [hands] to heaven, & [swore] by Him, [Who] lives forever, that it shall be for a time, times, & a half. And when He shall have accomplished [scattering] the power of the holy people & all these things shall be finished.]

Now, I was in a deep sleep, [with] my face toward the ground, as he was speaking with me; but he touched me & [stood] me upright. And he said, [Look,] I will make [it] [known to] you, what shall be at the appointed time [for] the end, in the [later times,] of the indignation.

The ram [that] you saw, having 2 horns are the kings of Media & Persia. And the rough goat is the king of [Greece.] And the great horn that is between his eyes is the 1st king. Now, [after] that [horn] [was] broken, 4 stood up [instead] for it, 4 kingdoms shall stand up out of [that] nation, but not [according to] his power.

And in the latter [times] of their kingdom, when the transgressors [have] come to full [force,] a king [with] fierce [facial expressions,] understanding dark [riddles,] shall stand up. [Deuteronomy 28:49-50 The Lord shall bring a nation against you from far, from the end of the earth, as swift as the eagle flies.

A nation, whose [language] you shall not understand. A nation with fierce countenance, [a.k.a. facial features, who] shall not regard the [elderly] people, nor [show] favor to the young.]

And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power. And he shall destroy wonderfully & shall prosper, & [rehearse,] & shall destroy the mighty & the holy people.

[Revelation 17:12-13 And the 10 horns, [that] you saw are 10 kings, [who] haven't received [a] kingdom, as yet; but receive power [like] kings, one hour with the beast. These have one mind, [a.k.a. are in agreement,] & shall give their power & strength, [a.k.a. authority,] to the beast.]

And through his policy, he shall also cause craft, [a.k.a. business,] to prosper in his hand. And he shall magnify himself in his heart & by [professing] peace, [he] shall destroy many. He shall also stand up again the Prince of princes; but he shall be broken without [a] hand [to help.]

[*Revelation 19:19-20 And I saw the beast & the kings of the earth, & their armies, gathered together to make war against Him, [Who] sat on the horse, & against His army.

And the beast was taken, & the false prophet with him, that [did] miracles before him, with which he deceived [those, who] had received the mark of the beast & [those, who] worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into a lake of fire, burning with brimstone.]

And the evening vision & the morning [vision] that [were] told are true. [For this reason,] you, shut up the vision, for it shall be for many [years.] [Revelation 22:10 And he said to me, [Don't] seal the sayings of this prophecy of this book: for the time is at hand, [a.k.a. soon.]

And I, Daniel, fainted & was sick [some] days. Afterward, I rose up, & did the king's business. And I was astonished at the vision, but [no one] understood it.

Daniel 7:1-28 Daniel's Vision of the 4 Large Beasts

 

Daniel's Vision of the 4 Large Beasts

Daniel 7:1-28                    The Book of Daniel [in Smaller Chunks]

During the 1st year of Belshazzar, [Babylon's] king, Daniel has a dream upon his bed & visions [in] his head. Then, he wrote [it down] & told [all] the [details] of the dream. Daniel [spoke] & said, In my vision [at] night, I saw the 4 winds of the [heavens, vigorously struggled] upon the Great Sea, [a.k.a. the Mediterranean Sea.]

[Revelation 20:7-9 And when the 1,000 years are [over,] Satan shall be [loosened] out of his prison, & shall go out to deceive the nations, [that] are in the 4 quarters, [a.k.a. corners] of the earth, & [surrounded around] the camp of the saints, & the beloved city. And fire came down from God, out of heaven & devoured them.]

And 4 [large] beasts came up from the sea, [different] from one another. The 1st was like a lion, & had eagle's wings. I [looked until] the wings of it were plucked [off] & it was lifted up from the earth, & was made to stand upon [its] feet, [like] a man. And a man's heart was given to it.

And [I] [saw] another 2nd beast, [similar] to a bear. And it raised up itself on one side & it had 3 ribs in [its] mouth, between [its] teeth. And they said [this] to it, Arise & devour much flesh. After this, I [looked] & [saw] another [beast,] like a leopard, [that] had 4 wings of a [bird] upon [its] back.

The beast also had 4 heads, & dominion, [a.k.a. control or domination,] was given to it. [Daniel 11:3-4 And a mighty king shall stand up, [who] shall rule with great dominion & do according to his will.

And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken & shall be divided toward the 4 winds of heaven & not to his posterity, [a.k.a.descendants,] nor according to his dominion [that] he ruled. For his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others [besides] those.]

After this, I also saw in the night visions, a 4th beast, dreadful, terrible, & exceedingly strong. And it had [large] iron teeth, & it devoured, [broke into] pieces & [trampled what remained] with [its] feet. And it was [different] from all the beasts that were before it & it had 10 horns.

I [thought about] the horns, & [saw,] another little horn came up there, among them. Before whom, the first 3 horns were plucked up by [their] roots. And [I] saw eyes in this horn [that] were like the eyes of a man & a mouth, speaking great, [a.k.a. arrogant] things.

[Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will; & he shall exalt himself, & magnify himself above every god, & shall speak marvelous, [a.k.a. astonishing,] things against the God of gods. And [he] shall prosper, [until] the indignation [is] accomplished: for [what] is determined shall be done.]

I [watched until] the thrones were [thrown] down & the Ancient of Days [sat,] Whose garment was white as snow, & the hair of his head [was] like pure wool. His throne was like the fiery flame & His wheels [like] burning fire. [Revelation 1:14 His head & His hairs were white like wool, as white as snow. And His eyes were [like] a flame of fire.]

A fiery stream [flowed out] & came [out] from [in front of] Him. One thousand thousands, [a.k.a. one million,] ministered to Him. And ten thousand times ten thousand, [a.k.a. 100 trillion,] stood before Him. The judgment was set, & the books were opened.

[Revelation 20:12-13 And I saw the dead, [powerless & powerful] stand before God & the books were opened. And another book was opened, which is the Book of Life. And the dead were judged [from] those things, [that] were written in the books, according to their [deeds.]

And the sea gave up the dead, [that] were in it. And Death & Hell delivered up the dead, [that] were in them. And every man [was] judged according to their [deeds.]

Then, I [watched,] because of the voice of the great, [a.k.a. arrogant,] words [that] were spoken, [that] the horn [spoke.] I [saw] even [until] the beast was slain & his body destroyed & given to the burning flame.

[Revelation 19:20 And the beast was taken & with him, the false prophet, that [worked] miracles before him, with which he deceived [those, who] had the mark of the beast & [those, who] worshiped his image. These both were cast alive into the lake of fire, burning with brimstone.]

[About] the rest of the beasts they had their dominions, [territories or kingdoms,] taken away. [Still,] their lives were prolonged, [a.k.a. extended] for a season & time. In the night visions, I [looked] & [saw,] One, like the Son of Man, came with the clouds of heaven & came to the Ancient of Days, & they brought Him, near, [in front of] Him.

[Matthew 24:30 And then the sign of the Son of Man shall appear in heaven: & then all the tribes of the earth shall mourn, & they shall see the Son of Man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power & great glory.]

And [to] Him, was given dominion, glory, & a Kingdom there, [so] that all people, nations, & languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away. And His Kingdom shall not be destroyed.

[Revelation 1:5-8 And from Jesus Christ, Who is the faithful witness & the first begotten of the dead, & the Prince of the kings of the earth. [For] Him, [Who] loved us & washed us from our sins in His Own Blood. And has made us [a kingdom of] priests to God & His Father.

To Him be glory & dominion forever & ever. Amen. [Look,] He comes with clouds & every eye shall see Him. And also [those, who] pierced Him. And all the [families] of the earth shall wail because of Him. Even so. Amen.

I Am [the] Alpha & Omega, the Beginning & the Ending, says the Lord, [Who] is, & [Who] was, & [Who] is to come, the Almighty.]

I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit [within] my body & the visions of my head troubled me. I came near to one of [those, who] stood [close] by, & asked him, the truth [about] all of this. So, he told me, & made [these] things [known] to me & [its] interpretation.

These 4 [large] beasts, are 4 kings, that shall arise out of the earth. But the saints of the Most High shall take the Kingdom & shall possess the Kingdom forever, even forever & ever. [Revelation 5:11-13 And I [saw] & heard the [voices] of many Angels, [all around] the throne; the [living creatures; & elders.

And the number of them was 10,000 times 10,000, [a.k.a. 100 trillion,] * saying with a loud voice, Worthy is the Lamb, [Who] was slain, to receive: power; riches; wisdom; strength; honor; glory & [blessings.]

And I heard every creature, which is: in heaven; on the earth; under the earth; & such as are in the sea & all [within] them [were] saying, Blessing; honor; glory; & power be to Him, [Who] sits upon the throne, & to the Lamb forever & ever.]

Then, I [wanted to] know the truth [about] the 4th beast, [that] was [different & exceedingly] dreadful from all the others. Whose teeth were of iron & his nails of brass, [that] devoured & [broke into] pieces & [trampled] the [rest] with his feet.

And [about] the 10 horns that were in [its] head, & [about] the other [horn] that came up, before [which] 3 fell. Of that horn that had eyes, & a mouth that [spoke] great, [a.k.a. arrogant] things, whose [appearance] was more [stern] than his [companions.] I, [watched] & the same horn made war with the saints & prevailed against them.

[Revelation 17:12-13 And the 10 horns, [that] you saw, are 10 kings, [who] haven't received [a] kingdom, yet. But receive power [like] kings, one hour with the beast. These have one mind, [a.k.a. are in agreement,] & shall give their power & strength to the beast.]

Until the Ancient of Days came & judgment was given to the saints of the Most High & the time came that the saints possessed the Kingdom. [Revelation 20:4 And I saw thrones & [those, who] sat upon them. And judgment was given to them.

And I saw the souls of [those, who] were beheaded for: the witness of Jesus & the Word of God; & [who] hadn't worshiped: the beast; [nor] his image; & neither had received his mark upon their foreheads, or in their hands. And they lived & [ruled] with Christ, 1,000 years.]

He said [this,] The 4th beast shall be the 4th kingdom on the earth, [that] shall be [different] from all kingdoms, & shall devour the earth, & shall [trample] it down & break it in pieces. And the 10 horns [from] this kingdom, are 10 kings, that shall arise. And another shall rise after them.

And he shall be [different] from the 1st. And he shall [conquer] 3 kings. [Revelation 13:1 And I stood upon the sand of the sea, & saw a beast rise up out of the sea, having 7 heads & 10 horns. And upon his horns, [were] 10 crowns. And upon his heads, [was] the name of blasphemy.]

And he shall speak great, [a.k.a. pompous,] words against the Most High & shall wear out the saints of the Most High & think to change times & Laws. And they shall be given into his hand until a time, & times, & the dividing of time. [Daniel 11:36 And the king shall do according to his will.

And he shall exalt himself, & magnify himself above every god. And shall speak marvelous, [a.k.a. astonishing,] things against the God of gods. And [he] shall prosper [until] the indignation [is] accomplished, for [what] is determined shall be done.]

But the judgment shall [wait] & they shall take away his dominion, to: consume & destroy it [until] the end. And the: kingdom; dominion; & greatness under the whole heaven of the kingdom, shall be given to the people & the saints of the Most High, Whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom.

And all dominions shall serve & obey Him. [Revelation 7:13-17 And one of the elders, [asked] me saying, [Who] are these, [who] are [clothed] in white robes? [Where did] they [come from?] And I said to him, Sir, you [know.]

And he said to me, These are [those, who] came out of great tribulation, & have washed their robes & made them white in the blood of the Lamb. Therefore, they are before the throne of God & serve Him day & night in His temple. And He, [Who] sits on the throne, shall dwell among them.

They shall no [longer] hunger, neither [shall they] thirst anymore. Neither shall the sunlight, nor any heat [scorch] them. For the Lamb, [Who] is in the midst of the throne shall feed them & shall lead them to Living Fountains of waters. And God shall wipe away all tears from their eyes.]

[Thus far,] is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my [thoughts] troubled me much, & [the expression on] my [face] changed: but I kept the matter [within] my heart.
