1In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, subsequent to the one that had appeared to me earlier.stylusDaniel 7:1, Daniel 7:1, Daniel 9:2, Daniel 10:2, Daniel 10:72And in the vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa, in the province of Elam.

Then he touched me, helped me to my feet,stylusDaniel 10:18, Daniel 10:18, Luke 9:32, Daniel 10:16, Ezekiel 2:219and said, “Behold, I will make known to you what will happen in the latter time of wrath, because it concerns the appointed time of the end.stylusHabakkuk 2:3, Habakkuk 2:3, Daniel 11:27, Revelation 17:17, Daniel 8:1520The two-horned ram that you saw represents the kings of Media and Persia.stylusDaniel 8:3, Daniel 8:3, Daniel 11:1, Daniel 11:2, Daniel 11:121The shaggy goat represents the king of Greece, and the large horn between his eyes is the first king.stylusDaniel 11:3, Daniel 10:20, Daniel 11:3, Daniel 10:20, Daniel 8:522The four horns that replaced the broken one represent four kingdoms that will rise from that nation, but will not have the same power.stylusDaniel 11:4, Daniel 8:3, Daniel 8:8, Daniel 11:4, Daniel 8:323In the latter part of their reign, when the rebellion has reached its full measure, an insolent king, skilled in intrigue, will come to the throne.stylusRevelation 13:11, Revelation 13:14, 2 Thessalonians 2:9, 2 Thessalonians 2:11, Revelation 13:1124His power will be great, but it will not be his own.

In a time of peace he will destroy many, and he will even stand against the Prince of princes. Yet he will be broken off, but not by human hands.stylusDaniel 8:11, Daniel 8:11, Revelation 17:14, Revelation 17:14, Daniel 11:3226The vision of the evenings and the mornings that has been spoken is true.
