Dan.7.1

In the first year of the reign of King Belshazzar of Babylon, Daniel had a dream. What he saw as he slept in his bed terrified him--a real nightmare. Then he wrote out his dream:

Dan.7.1

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream, and visions passed through his mind as he was lying on his bed. He wrote down the substance of his dream.

Dan.7.1

In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon, Daniel had a dream and visions of his head while on his bed. Then he wrote down the dream, telling the main facts.

Dan.7.1

Earlier, during the first year of King Belshazzar's reign in Babylon, Daniel had a dream and saw visions as he lay in his bed. He wrote the dream down, and this is what he saw.

Dan.7.2

"In my dream that night I saw the four winds of heaven whipping up a great storm on the sea.

Dan.7.2

Daniel said: "In my vision at night I looked, and there before me were the four winds of heaven churning up the great sea.

Dan.7.2

Daniel spoke, saying, "I saw in my vision by night, and behold, the four winds of heaven were stirring up the Great Sea.

Dan.7.2

In my vision that night, I, Daniel, saw a great storm churning the surface of a great sea, with strong winds blowing from every direction.

Dan.7.3

Four huge animals, each different from the others, ascended out of the sea.

Dan.7.3

Four great beasts, each different from the others, came up out of the sea.

Dan.7.3

And four great beasts came up from the sea, each different from the other.

Dan.7.3

Then four huge beasts came up out of the water, each different from the others.

Dan.7.4

"The first animal looked like a lion, but it had the wings of an eagle. While I watched, its wings were pulled off. It was then pulled erect so that it was standing on two feet like a man. Then a human heart was placed in it.

Dan.7.4

"The first was like a lion, and it had the wings of an eagle. I watched until its wings were torn off and it was lifted from the ground so that it stood on two feet like a man, and the heart of a man was given to it.

Dan.7.4

The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings. I watched till its wings were plucked off; and it was lifted up from the earth and made to stand on two feet like a man, and a man's heart was given to it.

Dan.7.4

The first beast was like a lion with eagles' wings. As I watched, its wings were pulled off, and it was left standing with its two hind feet on the ground, like a human being. And a human mind was given to it.

Dan.7.5

"Then I saw a second animal that looked like a bear. It lurched from side to side, holding three ribs in its jaws. It was told, "Attack! Devour! Fill your belly!'

Dan.7.5

"And there before me was a second beast, which looked like a bear. It was raised up on one of its sides, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. It was told, 'Get up and eat your fill of flesh!'

Dan.7.5

"And suddenly another beast, a second, like a bear. It was raised up on one side, and had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And they said thus to it: "Arise, devour much flesh!'

Dan.7.5

Then I saw a second beast, and it looked like a bear. It was rearing up on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth. And I heard a voice saying to it, "Get up! Devour many people!"

Dan.7.6

"Next I saw another animal. This one looked like a panther. It had four birdlike wings on its back. This animal had four heads and was made to rule.

Dan.7.6

"After that, I looked, and there before me was another beast, one that looked like a leopard. And on its back it had four wings like those of a bird. This beast had four heads, and it was given authority to rule.

Dan.7.6

"After this I looked, and there was another, like a leopard, which had on its back four wings of a bird. The beast also had four heads, and dominion was given to it.

Dan.7.6

Then the third of these strange beasts appeared, and it looked like a leopard. It had four wings like birds' wings on its back, and it had four heads. Great authority was given to this beast.

Dan.7.7

"After that, a fourth animal appeared in my dream. This one was a grisly horror--hideous. It had huge iron teeth. It crunched and swallowed its victims. Anything left over, it trampled into the ground. It was different from the other animals--this one was a real monster. It had ten horns.

Dan.7.7

"After that, in my vision at night I looked, and there before me was a fourth beast-terrifying and frightening and very powerful. It had large iron teeth; it crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left. It was different from all the former beasts, and it had ten horns.

Dan.7.7

"After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, exceedingly strong. It had huge iron teeth; it was devouring, breaking in pieces, and trampling the residue with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had ten horns.

Dan.7.7

Then in my vision that night, I saw a fourth beast, terrifying, dreadful, and very strong. It devoured and crushed its victims with huge iron teeth and trampled what was left beneath its feet. It was different from any of the other beasts, and it had ten horns.

Dan.7.8

"As I was staring at the horns and trying to figure out what they meant, another horn sprouted up, a little horn. Three of the original horns were pulled out to make room for it. There were human eyes in this little horn, and a big mouth speaking arrogantly.

Dan.7.8

"While I was thinking about the horns, there before me was another horn, a little one, which came up among them; and three of the first horns were uprooted before it. This horn had eyes like the eyes of a man and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

Dan.7.8

I was considering the horns, and there was another horn, a little one, coming up among them, before whom three of the first horns were plucked out by the roots. And there, in this horn, were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking pompous words.

Dan.7.8

As I was looking at the horns, suddenly another small horn appeared among them. Three of the first horns were wrenched out, roots and all, to make room for it. This little horn had eyes like human eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly.

Dan.7.9

"As I was watching all this, "Thrones were set in place and The Old One sat down. His robes were white as snow, his hair was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, its wheels blazing.

Dan.7.9

"As I looked, "thrones were set in place, and the Ancient of Days took his seat. His clothing was as white as snow; the hair of his head was white like wool. His throne was flaming with fire, and its wheels were all ablaze.

Dan.7.9

"I watched till thrones were put in place, And the Ancient of Days was seated; His garment was white as snow, And the hair of His head was like pure wool. His throne was a fiery flame, Its wheels a burning fire;

Dan.7.9

I watched as thrones were put in place and the Ancient One sat down to judge. His clothing was as white as snow, his hair like whitest wool. He sat on a fiery throne with wheels of blazing fire,

Dan.7.10

A river of fire poured out of the throne. Thousands upon thousands served him, tens of thousands attended him. The courtroom was called to order, and the books were opened.

Dan.7.10

A river of fire was flowing, coming out from before him. Thousands upon thousands attended him; ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him. The court was seated, and the books were opened.

Dan.7.10

A fiery stream issued And came forth from before Him. A thousand thousands ministered to Him; Ten thousand times ten thousand stood before Him. The court was seated, And the books were opened.

Dan.7.10

and a river of fire flowed from his presence. Millions of angels ministered to him, and a hundred million stood to attend him. Then the court began its session, and the books were opened.

Dan.7.11

"I kept watching. The little horn was speaking arrogantly. Then, as I watched, the monster was killed and its body cremated in a roaring fire.

Dan.7.11

"Then I continued to watch because of the boastful words the horn was speaking. I kept looking until the beast was slain and its body destroyed and thrown into the blazing fire.

Dan.7.11

"I watched then because of the sound of the pompous words which the horn was speaking; I watched till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed and given to the burning flame.

Dan.7.11

I continued to watch because I could hear the little horn's boastful speech. I kept watching until the fourth beast was killed and its body was destroyed by fire.

Dan.7.12

The other animals lived on for a limited time, but they didn't really do anything, had no power to rule.

Dan.7.12

(The other beasts had been stripped of their authority, but were allowed to live for a period of time.)

Dan.7.12

As for the rest of the beasts, they had their dominion taken away, yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.

Dan.7.12

As for the other three beasts, their authority was taken from them, but they were allowed to live for a while longer.

Dan.7.13

My dream continued. "I saw a human form, a son of man, arriving in a whirl of clouds. He came to The Old One and was presented to him.

Dan.7.13

"In my vision at night I looked, and there before me was one like a son of man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days and was led into his presence.

Dan.7.13

"I was watching in the night visions, And behold, One like the Son of Man, Coming with the clouds of heaven! He came to the Ancient of Days, And they brought Him near before Him.

Dan.7.13

As my vision continued that night, I saw someone who looked like a man coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient One and was led into his presence.

Dan.7.14

He was given power to rule--all the glory of royalty. Everyone--race, color, and creed--had to serve him. His rule would be forever, never ending. His kingly rule would never be replaced.

Dan.7.14

He was given authority, glory and sovereign power; all peoples, nations and men of every language worshiped him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will not pass away, and his kingdom is one that will never be destroyed.

Dan.7.14

Then to Him was given dominion and glory and a kingdom, That all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion, Which shall not pass away, And His kingdom the one Which shall not be destroyed.

Dan.7.14

He was given authority, honor, and royal power over all the nations of the world, so that people of every race and nation and language would obey him. His rule is eternal--it will never end. His kingdom will never be destroyed.

Dan.7.15

"But as for me, Daniel, I was disturbed. All these dream-visions had me agitated.

Dan.7.15

"I, Daniel, was troubled in spirit, and the visions that passed through my mind disturbed me.

Dan.7.15

"I, Daniel, was grieved in my spirit within my body, and the visions of my head troubled me.

Dan.7.15

I, Daniel, was troubled by all I had seen, and my visions terrified me.

Dan.7.16

So I went up to one of those standing by and asked him the meaning of all this. And he told me, interpreting the dream for me:

Dan.7.16

I approached one of those standing there and asked him the true meaning of all this. "So he told me and gave me the interpretation of these things:

Dan.7.16

I came near to one of those who stood by, and asked him the truth of all this. So he told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things:

Dan.7.16

So I approached one of those standing beside the throne and asked him what it all meant. He explained it to me like this:

Dan.7.17

These four huge animals,' he said, "mean that four kingdoms will appear on earth.

Dan.7.17

'The four great beasts are four kingdoms that will rise from the earth.

Dan.7.17

"Those great beasts, which are four, are four kings which arise out of the earth.

Dan.7.17

"These four huge beasts represent four kingdoms that will arise from the earth.

Dan.7.18

But eventually the holy people of the High God will be given the kingdom and have it ever after--yes, forever and ever.'

Dan.7.18

But the saints of the Most High will receive the kingdom and will possess it forever-yes, for ever and ever.'

Dan.7.18

But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom forever, even forever and ever.'

Dan.7.18

But in the end, the holy people of the Most High will be given the kingdom, and they will rule forever and ever."

Dan.7.19

"But I wanted to know more. I was curious about the fourth animal, the one so different from the others, the hideous monster with the iron teeth and the bronze claws, gulping down what it ripped to pieces and trampling the leftovers into the dirt.

Dan.7.19

"Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, which was different from all the others and most terrifying, with its iron teeth and bronze claws-the beast that crushed and devoured its victims and trampled underfoot whatever was left.

Dan.7.19

"Then I wished to know the truth about the fourth beast, which was different from all the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its nails of bronze, which devoured, broke in pieces, and trampled the residue with its feet;

Dan.7.19

Then I wanted to know the true meaning of the fourth beast, the one so different from the others and so terrifying. It devoured and crushed its victims with iron teeth and bronze claws, and it trampled what was left beneath its feet.

Dan.7.20

And I wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and the other horn that sprouted up while three of the original horns were removed. This new horn had eyes and a big mouth and spoke arrogantly, dominating the other horns.

Dan.7.20

I also wanted to know about the ten horns on its head and about the other horn that came up, before which three of them fell-the horn that looked more imposing than the others and that had eyes and a mouth that spoke boastfully.

Dan.7.20

and the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, before which three fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth which spoke pompous words, whose appearance was greater than his fellows.

Dan.7.20

I also asked about the ten horns on the fourth beast's head and the little horn that came up afterward and destroyed three of the other horns. This was the horn that seemed greater than the others and had human eyes and a mouth that was boasting arrogantly.

Dan.7.21

I watched as this horn was making war on God's holy people and getting the best of them.

Dan.7.21

As I watched, this horn was waging war against the saints and defeating them,

Dan.7.21

"I was watching; and the same horn was making war against the saints, and prevailing against them,

Dan.7.21

As I watched, this horn was waging war against the holy people and was defeating them,

Dan.7.22

But then The Old One intervened and decided things in favor of the people of the High God. In the end, God's holy people took over the kingdom.

Dan.7.22

until the Ancient of Days came and pronounced judgment in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came when they possessed the kingdom.

Dan.7.22

until the Ancient of Days came, and a judgment was made in favor of the saints of the Most High, and the time came for the saints to possess the kingdom.

Dan.7.22

until the Ancient One came and judged in favor of the holy people of the Most High. Then the time arrived for the holy people to take over the kingdom.

Dan.7.23

"The bystander continued, telling me this: "The fourth animal is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from the first three kingdoms, a monster kingdom that will chew up everyone in sight and spit them out.

Dan.7.23

"He gave me this explanation: 'The fourth beast is a fourth kingdom that will appear on earth. It will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth, trampling it down and crushing it.

Dan.7.23

"Thus he said: "The fourth beast shall be A fourth kingdom on earth, Which shall be different from all other kingdoms, And shall devour the whole earth, Trample it and break it in pieces.

Dan.7.23

Then he said to me, "This fourth beast is the fourth world power that will rule the earth. It will be different from all the others. It will devour the whole world, trampling everything in its path.

Dan.7.24

The ten horns are ten kings, one after another, that will come from this kingdom. But then another king will arrive. He will be different from the earlier kings. He will begin by toppling three kings.

Dan.7.24

The ten horns are ten kings who will come from this kingdom. After them another king will arise, different from the earlier ones; he will subdue three kings.

Dan.7.24

The ten horns are ten kings Who shall arise from this kingdom. And another shall rise after them; He shall be different from the first ones, And shall subdue three kings.

Dan.7.24

Its ten horns are ten kings that will rule that empire. Then another king will arise, different from the other ten, who will subdue three of them.

Dan.7.25

Then he will blaspheme the High God, persecute the followers of the High God, and try to get rid of sacred worship and moral practice. God's holy people will be persecuted by him for a time, two times, half a time.

Dan.7.25

He will speak against the Most High and oppress his saints and try to change the set times and the laws. The saints will be handed over to him for a time, times and half a time.

Dan.7.25

He shall speak pompous words against the Most High, Shall persecute the saints of the Most High, And shall intend to change times and law. Then the saints shall be given into his hand For a time and times and half a time.

Dan.7.25

He will defy the Most High and wear down the holy people of the Most High. He will try to change their sacred festivals and laws, and they will be placed under his control for a time, times, and half a time.

Dan.7.26

But when the court comes to order, the horn will be stripped of its power and totally destroyed.

Dan.7.26

"'But the court will sit, and his power will be taken away and completely destroyed forever.

Dan.7.26

"But the court shall be seated, And they shall take away his dominion, To consume and destroy it forever.

Dan.7.26

"But then the court will pass judgment, and all his power will be taken away and completely destroyed.

Dan.7.27

Then the royal rule and the authority and the glory of all the kingdoms under heaven will be handed over to the people of the High God. Their royal rule will last forever. All other rulers will serve and obey them.'

Dan.7.27

Then the sovereignty, power and greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be handed over to the saints, the people of the Most High. His kingdom will be an everlasting kingdom, and all rulers will worship and obey him.'

Dan.7.27

Then the kingdom and dominion, And the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, Shall be given to the people, the saints of the Most High. His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, And all dominions shall serve and obey Him.'

Dan.7.27

Then the sovereignty, power, and greatness of all the kingdoms under heaven will be given to the holy people of the Most High. They will rule forever, and all rulers will serve and obey them."

Dan.7.28

"And there it ended. I, Daniel, was in shock. I was like a man who had seen a ghost. But I kept it all to myself.

Dan.7.28

"This is the end of the matter. I, Daniel, was deeply troubled by my thoughts, and my face turned pale, but I kept the matter to myself."

Dan.7.28

"This is the end of the account. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly troubled me, and my countenance changed; but I kept the matter in my heart."

Dan.7.28

That was the end of the vision. I, Daniel, was terrified by my thoughts and my face was pale with fear, but I kept these things to myself.

Dan.8.1

"In King Belshazzar's third year as king, another vision came to me, Daniel. This was now the second vision.

Dan.8.1

In the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, I, Daniel, had a vision, after the one that had already appeared to me.

Dan.8.1

In the third year of the reign of King Belshazzar a vision appeared to me--to me, Daniel--after the one that appeared to me the first time.

Dan.8.1

During the third year of King Belshazzar's reign, I, Daniel, saw another vision, following the one that had already appeared to me.

Dan.8.2

"In the vision, I saw myself in Susa, the capital city of the province Elam, standing at the Ulai Canal.

Dan.8.2

In my vision I saw myself in the citadel of Susa in the province of Elam; in the vision I was beside the Ulai Canal.

Dan.8.2

I saw in the vision, and it so happened while I was looking, that I was in Shushan, the citadel, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw in the vision that I was by the River Ulai.

Dan.8.2

This time I was at the fortress of Susa, in the province of Elam, standing beside the Ulai River.

Dan.8.3

Looking around, I was surprised to see a ram also standing at the gate. The ram had two huge horns, one bigger than the other, but the bigger horn was the last to appear.

Dan.8.3

I looked up, and there before me was a ram with two horns, standing beside the canal, and the horns were long. One of the horns was longer than the other but grew up later.

Dan.8.3

Then I lifted my eyes and saw, and there, standing beside the river, was a ram which had two horns, and the two horns were high; but one was higher than the other, and the higher one came up last.

Dan.8.3

As I looked up, I saw in front of me a ram with two long horns standing beside the river. One of the horns was longer than the other, even though it had begun to grow later than the shorter one.

Dan.8.4

I watched as the ram charged: first west, then north, then south. No beast could stand up to him. He did just as he pleased, strutting as if he were king of the beasts.

Dan.8.4

I watched the ram as he charged toward the west and the north and the south. No animal could stand against him, and none could rescue from his power. He did as he pleased and became great.

Dan.8.4

I saw the ram pushing westward, northward, and southward, so that no animal could withstand him; nor was there any that could deliver from his hand, but he did according to his will and became great.

Dan.8.4

The ram butted everything out of its way to the west, to the north, and to the south, and no one could stand against it or help its victims. It did as it pleased and became very great.

Dan.8.5

"While I was watching this, wondering what it all meant, I saw a billy goat with an immense horn in the middle of its forehead come up out of the west and fly across the whole country, not once touching the ground.

Dan.8.5

As I was thinking about this, suddenly a goat with a prominent horn between his eyes came from the west, crossing the whole earth without touching the ground.

Dan.8.5

And as I was considering, suddenly a male goat came from the west, across the surface of the whole earth, without touching the ground; and the goat had a notable horn between his eyes.

Dan.8.5

While I was watching, suddenly a male goat appeared from the west, crossing the land so swiftly that it didn't even touch the ground. This goat, which had one very large horn between its eyes,

Dan.8.6

The billy goat approached the double-horned ram that I had earlier seen standing at the gate and, enraged, charged it viciously.

Dan.8.6

He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and charged at him in great rage.

Dan.8.6

Then he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had seen standing beside the river, and ran at him with furious power.

Dan.8.6

headed toward the two-horned ram that I had seen standing beside the river.

Dan.8.7

I watched as, mad with rage, it charged the ram and hit it so hard that it broke off its two horns. The ram didn't stand a chance against it. The billy goat knocked the ram to the ground and stomped all over it. Nothing could have saved the ram from the goat.

Dan.8.7

I saw him attack the ram furiously, striking the ram and shattering his two horns. The ram was powerless to stand against him; the goat knocked him to the ground and trampled on him, and none could rescue the ram from his power.

Dan.8.7

And I saw him confronting the ram; he was moved with rage against him, attacked the ram, and broke his two horns. There was no power in the ram to withstand him, but he cast him down to the ground and trampled him; and there was no one that could deliver the ram from his hand.

Dan.8.7

The goat charged furiously at the ram and struck it, breaking off both its horns. Now the ram was helpless, and the goat knocked it down and trampled it. There was no one who could rescue the ram from the goat's power.

Dan.8.8

"Then the billy goat swelled to an enormous size. At the height of its power its immense horn broke off and four other big horns sprouted in its place, pointing to the four points of the compass.

Dan.8.8

The goat became very great, but at the height of his power his large horn was broken off, and in its place four prominent horns grew up toward the four winds of heaven.

Dan.8.8

Therefore the male goat grew very great; but when he became strong, the large horn was broken, and in place of it four notable ones came up toward the four winds of heaven.

Dan.8.8

The goat became very powerful. But at the height of its power, its large horn was broken off. In the large horn's place grew four prominent horns pointing in the four directions of the earth.

Dan.8.9

And then from one of these big horns another horn sprouted. It started small, but then grew to an enormous size, facing south and east--toward lovely Palestine.

Dan.8.9

Out of one of them came another horn, which started small but grew in power to the south and to the east and toward the Beautiful Land.

Dan.8.9

And out of one of them came a little horn which grew exceedingly great toward the south, toward the east, and toward the Glorious Land.

Dan.8.9

From one of the prominent horns came a small horn whose power grew very great. It extended toward the south and the east and toward the glorious land of Israel.

Dan.8.10

The horn grew tall, reaching to the stars, the heavenly army, and threw some of the stars to the earth and stomped on them.

Dan.8.10

It grew until it reached the host of the heavens, and it threw some of the starry host down to the earth and trampled on them.

Dan.8.10

And it grew up to the host of heaven; and it cast down some of the host and some of the stars to the ground, and trampled them.

Dan.8.10

His power reached to the heavens where it attacked the heavenly armies, throwing some of the heavenly beings and stars to the ground and trampling them.

Dan.8.11

It even dared to challenge the power of God, Prince of the Celestial Army! And then it threw out daily worship and desecrated the Sanctuary.

Dan.8.11

It 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.

Dan.8.11

He even exalted himself as high as the Prince of the host; and by him the daily sacrifices were taken away, and the place of His sanctuary was cast down.

Dan.8.11

He even challenged the Commander of heaven's armies by canceling the daily sacrifices offered to him and by destroying his Temple.

Dan.8.12

As judgment against their sin, the holy people of God got the same treatment as the daily worship. The horn cast God's Truth aside. High-handed, it took over everything and everyone.

Dan.8.12

Because of rebellion, the host of the saints and the daily sacrifice were given over to it. It prospered in everything it did, and truth was thrown to the ground.

Dan.8.12

Because of transgression, an army was given over to the horn to oppose the daily sacrifices; and he cast truth down to the ground. He did all this and prospered.

Dan.8.12

But the army of heaven was restrained from destroying him for this sin. As a result, sacrilege was committed against the Temple ceremonies, and truth was overthrown. The horn succeeded in everything it did.

Dan.8.13

"Then I overheard two holy angels talking. One asked, "How long is what we see here going to last--the abolishing of daily worship, this devastating judgment against sin, the kicking around of God's holy people and the Sanctuary?'

Dan.8.13

Then I heard a holy one speaking, and another holy one said to him, "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?"

Dan.8.13

Then I heard a holy one speaking; and another holy one said to that certain one who was speaking, "How long will the vision be, concerning the daily sacrifices and the transgression of desolation, the giving of both the sanctuary and the host to be trampled underfoot?"

Dan.8.13

Then I heard two of the holy ones talking to each other. One of them said, "How long will the events of this vision last? How long will the rebellion that causes desecration stop the daily sacrifices? How long will the Temple and heaven's armies be trampled on?"

Dan.8.14

"The other answered, "Over the course of 2,300 sacrifices, evening and morning. Then the Sanctuary will be set right again.' [JC]

Dan.8.14

He said to me, "It will take 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be reconsecrated."

Dan.8.14

And he said to me, "For two thousand three hundred days; then the sanctuary shall be cleansed."

Dan.8.14

The other replied, "It will take twenty-three hundred evenings and mornings; then the Temple will be restored."

I am writing to you who are mature because you know Christ, the one who is from the beginning. I am writing to you who are young because you have won your battle with Satan.

1John.2.14

You veterans know the One who started it all; and you newcomers--such vitality and strength! God's word is so steady in you. Your fellowship with God enables you to gain a victory over the Evil One.

1John.2.14

I write to you, fathers, because you have known him who is from the beginning. I write to you, young men, because you are strong, and the word of God lives in you, and you have overcome the evil one.

1John.2.14

I have written to you, fathers, Because you have known Him who is from the beginning. I have written to you, young men, Because you are strong, and the word of God abides in you, And you have overcome the wicked one.

1John.2.14

I have written to you, children, because you have known the Father. I have written to you who are mature because you know Christ, the one who is from the beginning. I have written to you who are young because you are strong with God's word living in your hearts, and you have won your battle with Satan.

1John.2.15

Don't love the world's ways. Don't love the world's goods. Love of the world squeezes out love for the Father.

1John.2.15

Do not love the world or anything in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1John.2.15

Do not love the world or the things in the world. If anyone loves the world, the love of the Father is not in him.

1John.2.15

Stop loving this evil world and all that it offers you, for when you love the world, you show that you do not have the love of the Father in you.

1John.2.16

Practically everything that goes on in the world--wanting your own way, wanting everything for yourself, wanting to appear important--has nothing to do with the Father. It just isolates you from him.

1John.2.16

For everything in the world--the cravings of sinful man, the lust of his eyes and the boasting of what he has and does--comes not from the Father but from the world.

1John.2.16

For all that is in the world--the lust of the flesh, the lust of the eyes, and the pride of life--is not of the Father but is of the world.

1John.2.16

For the world offers only the lust for physical pleasure, the lust for everything we see, and pride in our possessions. These are not from the Father. They are from this evil world.

1John.2.17

The world and all its wanting, wanting, wanting is on the way out--but whoever does what God wants is set for eternity.

1John.2.17

The world and its desires pass away, but the man who does the will of God lives forever.

1John.2.17

And the world is passing away, and the lust of it; but he who does the will of God abides forever.

1John.2.17

And this world is fading away, along with everything it craves. But if you do the will of God, you will live forever.

1John.2.18

Children, time is just about up. You heard that Antichrist is coming. Well, they're all over the place, antichrists everywhere you look. That's how we know that we're close to the end.

1John.2.18

Dear children, this is the last hour; and as you have heard that the antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come. This is how we know it is the last hour.

1John.2.18

Little children, it is the last hour; and as you have heard that the Antichrist is coming, even now many antichrists have come, by which we know that it is the last hour.

1John.2.18

Dear children, the last hour is here. You have heard that the Antichrist is coming, and already many such antichrists have appeared. From this we know that the end of the world has come.

1John.2.19

They left us, but they were never really with us. If they had been, they would have stuck it out with us, loyal to the end. In leaving, they showed their true colors, showed they never did belong.

1John.2.19

They went out from us, but they did not really belong to us. For if they had belonged to us, they would have remained with us; but their going showed that none of them belonged to us.

1John.2.19

They went out from us, but they were not of us; for if they had been of us, they would have continued with us; but they went out that they might be made manifest, that none of them were of us.

1John.2.19

These people left our churches because they never really belonged with us; otherwise they would have stayed with us. When they left us, it proved that they do not belong with us.

1John.2.20

But you belong. The Holy One anointed you, and you all know it.

1John.2.20

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and all of you know the truth.

1John.2.20

But you have an anointing from the Holy One, and you know all things.

1John.2.20

But you are not like that, for the Holy Spirit has come upon you, and all of you know the truth.

1John.2.21

I haven't been writing this to tell you something you don't know, but to confirm the truth you do know, and to remind you that the truth doesn't breed lies.

1John.2.21

I do not write to you because you do not know the truth, but because you do know it and because no lie comes from the truth.

1John.2.21

I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it, and that no lie is of the truth.

1John.2.21

So I am writing to you not because you don't know the truth but because you know the difference between truth and falsehood.

1John.2.22

So who is lying here? It's the person who denies that Jesus is the Divine Christ, that's who. This is what makes an antichrist: denying the Father, denying the Son.

1John.2.22

Who is the liar? It is the man who denies that Jesus is the Christ. Such a man is the antichrist--he denies the Father and the Son.

1John.2.22

Who is a liar but he who denies that Jesus is the Christ? He is antichrist who denies the Father and the Son.

1John.2.22

And who is the great liar? The one who says that Jesus is not the Christ. Such people are antichrists, for they have denied the Father and the Son.

1John.2.23

No one who denies the Son has any part with the Father, but affirming the Son is an embrace of the Father as well.

1John.2.23

No one who denies the Son has the Father; whoever acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

1John.2.23

Whoever denies the Son does not have the Father either; he who acknowledges the Son has the Father also.

1John.2.23

Anyone who denies the Son doesn't have the Father either. But anyone who confesses the Son has the Father also.

1John.2.24

Stay with what you heard from the beginning, the original message. Let it sink into your life. If what you heard from the beginning lives deeply in you, you will live deeply in both Son and Father.

1John.2.24

See that what you have heard from the beginning remains in you. If it does, you also will remain in the Son and in the Father.

1John.2.24

Therefore let that abide in you which you heard from the beginning. If what you heard from the beginning abides in you, you also will abide in the Son and in the Father.

1John.2.24

So you must remain faithful to what you have been taught from the beginning. If you do, you will continue to live in fellowship with the Son and with the Father.

1John.2.25

This is exactly what Christ promised: eternal life, real life!

1John.2.25

And this is what he promised us--even eternal life.

1John.2.25

And this is the promise that He has promised us--eternal life.

1John.2.25

And in this fellowship we enjoy the eternal life he promised us.

1John.2.26

I've written to warn you about those who are trying to deceive you.

1John.2.26

I am writing these things to you about those who are trying to lead you astray.

1John.2.26

These things I have written to you concerning those who try to deceive you.

1John.2.26

I have written these things to you because you need to be aware of those who want to lead you astray.

1John.2.27

But they're no match for what is embedded deeply within you--Christ's anointing, no less! You don't need any of their so-called teaching. Christ's anointing teaches you the truth on everything you need to know about yourself and him, uncontaminated by a single lie. Live deeply in what you were taught.

1John.2.27

As for you, the anointing you received from him remains in you, and you do not need anyone to teach you. But as his anointing teaches you about all things and as that anointing is real, not counterfeit--just as it has taught you, remain in him.

1John.2.27

But the anointing which you have received from Him abides in you, and you do not need that anyone teach you; but as the same anointing teaches you concerning all things, and is true, and is not a lie, and just as it has taught you, you will abide in Him.

1John.2.27

But you have received the Holy Spirit, and he lives within you, so you don't need anyone to teach you what is true. For the Spirit teaches you all things, and what he teaches is true--it is not a lie. So continue in what he has taught you, and continue to live in Christ.
