Daniel 8:19-26 GW . . .He said, "I will tell you what will happen in the last days, the time of God's anger, because the end time has been determined. (20) "The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kingdoms of Media and Persia. (21) The hairy male goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the large horn between its eyes is its first king. (22) The horn broke off, and four horns replaced it. Four kingdoms will come out of that nation, but they won't be as strong as the first king was. (23) "In the last days of those kingdoms, when rebellions are finished, a stern-looking king who understands mysterious things will rise to power. (24) He will become very strong, but not by his own strength. He will cause astounding destruction and will be successful in everything he does. He will destroy those who are powerful along with some holy people. (25) He will cleverly use his power to deceive others successfully. He will consider himself to be great and destroy many people when they don't expect it. He will oppose the Commander of Commanders, but he will be defeated, though not by any human power. (26) The vision about the 2,300 evenings and mornings that was explained to you is true. Seal the vision, because it is about things that will happen in the distant future."
Daniel 8:19-26 CEV . . .and said: Listen, and I will tell you what will happen at the end of time, when God has chosen to show his anger. (20) The two horns of the ram are the kings of Media and Persia, (21) the goat is the kingdom of Greece, and the powerful horn between his eyes is the first of its kings. (22) After this horn is broken, four other kingdoms will appear, but they won't be as strong. (23) When these rulers have become as evil as possible, their power will end, and then a king who is dangerous and cannot be trusted will appear. (24) He will gain strength, but not on his own, and he will cause terrible destruction. He will wipe out powerful leaders and God's people as well. (25) His deceitful lies will make him so successful, that he will think he is really great. Suddenly he will kill many people, and he will even attack God, the Supreme Ruler. But God will crush him! (26) This vision about the evenings and mornings is true, but these things won't happen for a long time, so don't tell it to others.
Daniel 8:19-26 GNB . . .and said, "I am showing you what the result of God's anger will be. The vision refers to the time of the end. (20) "The ram you saw that had two horns represents the kingdoms of Media and Persia. (21) The goat represents the kingdom of Greece, and the prominent horn between his eyes is the first king. (22) The four horns that came up when the first horn was broken represent the four kingdoms into which that nation will be divided and which will not be as strong as the first kingdom. (23) "When the end of those kingdoms is near and they have become so wicked that they must be punished, there will be a stubborn, vicious, and deceitful king. (24) He will grow strong---but not by his own power. He will cause terrible destruction and be successful in everything he does. He will bring destruction on powerful men and on God's own people. (25) Because he is cunning, he will succeed in his deceitful ways. He will be proud of himself and destroy many people without warning. He will even defy the greatest King of all, but he will be destroyed without the use of any human power. (26) This vision about the evening and morning sacrifices which has been explained to you will come true. But keep it secret now, because it will be a long time before it does come true."
Daniel 8:19-26 ESV . . .He said, "Behold, I will make known to you what shall be at the latter end of the indignation, for it refers to the appointed time of the end. (20) As for the ram that you saw with the two horns, these are the kings of Media and Persia. (21) And the goat is the king of Greece. And the great horn between his eyes is the first king. (22) As for the horn that was broken, in place of which four others arose, four kingdoms shall arise from his nation, but not with his power. (23) And at the latter end of their kingdom, when the transgressors have reached their limit, a king of bold face, one who understands riddles, shall arise. (24) His power shall be great--but not by his own power; and he shall cause fearful destruction and shall succeed in what he does, and destroy mighty men and the people who are the saints. (25) By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand, and in his own mind he shall become great. Without warning he shall destroy many. And he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes, and he shall be broken--but by no human hand. (26) The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been told is true, but seal up the vision, for it refers to many days from now."
