Daniel 8:5-14

As I was observing, a male goat appeared, coming from the west across the surface of the entire earth without touching the ground. The goat had a conspicuous horn  between his eyes.  He came toward the two-horned ram I had seen standing beside the canal and rushed at him with savage fury. I saw him approaching the ram and, infuriated with him, he struck the ram, breaking his two horns, and the ram was not strong enough to stand against him. The goat threw him to the ground and trampled him, and there was no one to rescue the ram from his power. Then the male goat acted even more arrogantly,  but when he became powerful, the large horn was broken.  Four conspicuous horns came up in its place, pointing toward the four winds of heaven.  From one of them a little horn  emerged and grew extensively toward the south and the east and toward the beautiful land.  , It grew as high as the heavenly army, made some of the army and some of the stars  fall to the earth,  and trampled them.  It acted arrogantly  even against the Prince of the heavenly army;  it revoked his regular sacrifice  and overthrew the place of his sanctuary. In the rebellion, the army was given up, together with the regular sacrifice. The horn threw truth to the ground and was successful  in what it did. Then I heard a holy one speaking,  and another holy one said to the speaker, “How long will the events of this vision last   — the regular sacrifice, the rebellion that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and of the army to be trampled? ”  He said to me,  “For 2,300 evenings and mornings; then the sanctuary will be restored.”
