I saw in a vision ... a ram which had two high horns ... but the higher came up last. With the horn he pushed westward, and northward, and southward ... and became great. Then I saw a he-goat coming from the west, on the face of the whole earth ... which had a horn between his eyes. And he ran unto the ram in the fury of his power ... And brake his two horns ... but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him ... The great horn of the he-goat was broken; and for it came up four horns. And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant [land] ... And even to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them. Yea, he magnified himself even to the Prince of the host, and from Him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down. Because he cast down the truth to the ground ... Then I heard one saint saying ... How long shall be this vision, the daily sacrifice, and the wasting transgression, to give the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under foot? And he said, Until the evening and the morning; then shall the sanctuary be cleansed (A.V. marg. justified). Dan. viii 2-14.
