19. Second Vision Under Belshazzar
1 In the third year of the reign of
Belshazzar the king a vision appeared to
me, Daniel, subsequent to the one which
appeared to me previously.

20. Vision in Susa, Persia
2I looked in the vision, and while I was looking I was in the citadel
of Susa, which is in the province of Elam; and I looked in the vision
and I myself was beside the Ulai Canal.

21. Identity of the Ram
3 Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a ram which
had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two
horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the
longer one coming up last.

22. Identity of the Ram
3 Then I lifted my eyes and looked, and behold, a ram which
had two horns was standing in front of the canal. Now the two
horns were long, but one was longer than the other, with the
longer one coming up last.
20 ...The ram which you saw with the two horns represents the kings
of Media and Persia.

24. Persepolis, Palace of the Persians

25. The Ram’s Supremacy
4 I saw the ram butting westward, northward, and southward,
and no other beasts could stand before him
nor was there anyone to rescue from his power,
but he did as he pleased and magnified himself.

26. Identity of the Goat
5“While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the
west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground;
and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.

27. Identity of the Goat
5“While I was observing, behold, a male goat was coming from the
west over the surface of the whole earth without touching the ground;
and the goat had a conspicuous horn between his eyes.
21“The shaggy goat represents the kingdom of Greece,
and the large horn that is between his eyes is the first king.

28. 6 He came up to the ram that had the two
horns, which I had seen standing in front of
the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty
wrath.

29. 6 He came up to the ram that had the two
horns, which I had seen standing in front of
the canal, and rushed at him in his mighty
wrath.
7 I saw him come beside the ram, and he
was enraged at him; and he struck the ram
and shattered his two horns, and the ram
had no strength to withstand him. So he
hurled him to the ground and trampled on
him, and there was none to rescue the ram
from his power.

92. 10It grew up to the host of heaven and caused some of the host and
some of the stars to fall to the earth, and it trampled them down.

and it removed the regular sacrifice from Him, and the place of His
sanctuary was thrown down.

12And on account of transgression the host will be given over to the horn
along with the regular sacrifice; and it will fling truth to the ground and
perform its will and prosper.

95. 13Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to that
particular one who was speaking, “How long will the vision about the
regular sacrifice apply, while the transgression causes horror, so as to allow
both the holy place and the host to be trampled?”

both the holy place and the host to be trampled?”
14He said to me, “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the holy place
will be properly restored.”

18 Now while he was talking with me,

“Behold, I am going to let you know what will occur at the final period of
the indignation,
for it pertains to the appointed time of the end.

and there was none to explain it.

“Speak with me, O blessed Daniel.
Give me full assurance, I beseech thee.
Thou dost prophesy concerning the lioness in Babylon; for thou wast
a captive there.
Thou hast unfolded the future regarding the bear; for thou wast still
in the world, and didst see the things come to pass.

149. Hippolytus of Rome (A.D. 170-236)
Then thou speakest to me of the leopard; and whence canst thou
know this, for thou art already gone to thy rest?
Who instructed thee to announce these things, but He who formed
thee in (from) thy mother's womb? That is God, thou sayest. Thou
hast spoken indeed, and that not falsely.

150. Hippolytus of Rome (A.D. 170-236)
The leopard has arisen; the he-goat is come; he hath smitten the ram;
he hath broken his horns in pieces; he hath stamped upon him with
his feet. He has been exalted by his fall; (the) four horns have come
up from under that one.
