In this<n id="1" /> vision I saw myself in Susa<n id="2" /> the citadel,<n id="3" /> which is located in the province of Elam. In the vision I saw myself at the Ulai Canal.<n id="4" />

Now I have come to help you understand what will happen to your people in the latter days, for the vision pertains to future days.&#8221;p>

Now as for these four young men, God endowed them with knowledge and skill in all sorts of literature and wisdom &#8211; and Daniel had insight into all kinds of visions and dreams.p>

<t /><n id="1" /><p class="bodytext">In the third year<n id="2" /> of King Belshazzar&#8217;s reign, a vision appeared to me, Daniel, after the one that had appeared to me previously.<n id="3" />

<t /><p class="bodytext">While I, Daniel, was watching the vision, I sought to understand it. Now one who appeared to be a man was standing before me.

So he approached the place where I was standing. As he came, I felt terrified and fell flat on the ground.<n id="1" /> Then he said to me, &#8220;Understand, son of man,<n id="2" /> that the vision pertains to the time of the end.&#8221;

The vision of the evenings and mornings that was told to you is correct.<n id="1" /> But you should seal up the vision, for it refers to a time many days from now.&#8221;p>

yes, while I was still praying,<n id="1" /> the man Gabriel, whom I had seen previously<n id="2" /> in a vision, was approaching me in my state of extreme weariness,<n id="3" /> around the time of the evening offering.

<p class="bodytext">&#8220;In those times many will oppose<n id="1" /> the king of the south.<n id="2" /> Those who are violent<n id="3" /> among your own people will rise up in confirmation of<n id="4" /> the vision, but they will falter.

<p class="bodytext">Then I heard a holy one<n id="1" /> speaking. Another holy one said to the one who was speaking, &#8220;To what period of time does the vision pertain &#8211; this vision concerning the daily sacrifice and the destructive act of rebellion and the giving over of both the sanctuary and army to be trampled?&#8221;

<p class="poetry">&#8220;Seventy weeks<n id="1" /> have been determinedp> <p class="poetry">concerning your people and your holy cityp> <p class="poetry">to put an end to<n id="2" /> rebellion,p> <p class="poetry">to bring sin<n id="3" /> to completion,<n id="4" />p> <p class="poetry">to atone for iniquity,p> <p class="poetry">to bring in perpetual<n id="5" /> righteousness,p> <p class="poetry">to seal up<n id="6" /> the prophetic vision,<n id="7" />p> <p class="poetry">and to anoint a most holy place.<n id="8" />p>
