Standing in front of Daniel beside the canal was a ram with two long horns-one was longer than the other but grew up later. The ram charged toward the west and the north and the south. He did as he pleased and became great. Suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground. He charged the two-horned ram in great rage-furiously striking the ram and shattering his two horns.
The goat knocked the ram to the ground and trampled on him. But at the height of the goat’s power his large horn was broken off. In its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven. Another horn came out of one of them. It started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land. It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and set itself up to be as great as the Prince of the host.
It took away the daily sacrifice from him, and the place of his sanctuary was brought low. Because of rebellion, the host of the saints and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. Truth was thrown to the ground. Someone in the vision asked “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled-the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, and the surrender of the sanctuary and of the host that will be trampled underfoot” ?
He was answered, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated”.
