Daniel’s Vision of a Ram and a Goat

8 In the third year of King Belshazzar’s^(A) reign, I, Daniel, had a vision,^(B) after the one that had already appeared to me.

¹³ Then I heard a holy one^(A) speaking, and another holy one said to him, “How long will it take for the vision to be fulfilled^(B)—the vision concerning the daily sacrifice, the rebellion that causes desolation, the surrender of the sanctuary and the trampling underfoot^(C) of the Lord’s people?”

¹⁴ He said to me, “It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated.”^(D)

¹⁷ As he came near the place where I was standing, I was terrified and fell prostrate.^(A) “Son of man,”^[a] he said to me, “understand that the vision concerns the time of the end.”^(B)

¹⁹ He said: “I am going to tell you what will happen later in the time of wrath,^(A) because the vision concerns the appointed time^(B) of the end.^[a](C)
