WEBVTT 00:01.260 --> 00:06.260 Also I, in the first year of Darius the Mede, even I stood to confirm and to 00:06.260 --> 00:06.780 strengthen him. 00:07.340 --> 00:09.000 And now will I show thee the truth. 00:09.540 --> 00:14.320 Behold, there shall stand up yet three kings in Persia, and the fourth shall be 00:14.320 --> 00:15.600 far richer than they all. 00:15.980 --> 00:20.340 And by his strength, through his riches, he shall stir up all against the realm of 00:20.340 --> 00:20.680 Grecia. 00:21.180 --> 00:25.140 And a mighty king shall stand up, that shall rule with great dominion, 00:25.340 --> 00:26.860 and do according to his will. 00:27.380 --> 00:32.020 And when he shall stand up, his kingdom shall be broken, and shall be divided 00:32.020 --> 00:36.640 toward the four winds of heaven, and not to his posterity, nor according to 00:36.640 --> 00:37.860 his dominion which he ruled. 00:38.400 --> 00:42.540 For his kingdom shall be plucked up, even for others beside those. 00:43.360 --> 00:46.680 And the king of the south shall be strong, and one of his princes. 00:47.260 --> 00:49.760 And he shall be strong above him, and have dominion. 00:50.220 --> 00:52.400 His dominion shall be a great dominion. 00:52.920 --> 00:56.080 And in the end of years they shall join themselves together. 00:56.720 --> 00:59.820 For the king's daughter of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an 00:59.820 --> 01:00.140 agreement. 01:00.840 --> 01:02.900 But she shall not retain the power of the arm. 01:03.460 --> 01:05.580 Neither shall he stand, nor his arm. 01:06.120 --> 01:09.820 But she shall be given up, and they that brought her, and he that begat her, 01:10.060 --> 01:11.920 and he that strengthened her in these times. 01:12.740 --> 01:17.500 But out of a branch of her roots shall one stand up in his estate, which shall come 01:17.500 --> 01:20.940 with an army, and shall enter into the fortress of the king of the north, 01:21.260 --> 01:23.420 and shall deal against them, and shall prevail. 01:23.940 --> 01:27.820 And shall also carry captives into Egypt, their gods, with their princes, 01:28.240 --> 01:30.880 and with their precious vessels of silver and of gold. 01:31.180 --> 01:34.220 And he shall continue more years than the king of the north. 01:34.960 --> 01:39.080 So the king of the south shall come into his kingdom, and shall return into his own 01:39.080 --> 01:39.440 land. 01:40.160 --> 01:44.040 But his sons shall be stirred up, and shall assemble a multitude of great 01:44.040 --> 01:44.420 forces. 01:44.420 --> 01:48.180 And one shall certainly come and overflow and pass through. 01:48.860 --> 01:51.620 Then shall he return and be stirred up, even to his fortress. 01:52.080 --> 01:55.720 And the king of the south shall be moved with collar, and shall come forth and 01:55.720 --> 01:57.680 fight with him, even with the king of the north. 01:58.100 --> 02:02.620 And he shall set forth a great multitude, but the multitude shall be given into his 02:02.620 --> 02:02.960 hand. 02:03.860 --> 02:08.720 And when he hath taken away the multitude, his heart shall be lifted up, and he shall 02:08.720 --> 02:10.620 cast down many ten thousands. 02:11.120 --> 02:12.980 But he shall not be strengthened by it. 02:12.980 --> 02:16.720 For the king of the north shall return, and shall set forth a multitude greater 02:16.720 --> 02:20.600 than the former, and shall certainly come after certain years with a great army and 02:20.600 --> 02:21.480 with much riches. 02:21.880 --> 02:25.460 And in those times there shall many stand up against the king of the south. 02:25.880 --> 02:29.680 Also the robbers of thy people shall exalt themselves to establish the vision. 02:30.280 --> 02:31.400 But they shall fall. 02:32.220 --> 02:36.360 So the king of the north shall come, and cast up a mount, and take the most 02:36.360 --> 02:37.220 fenced cities. 02:37.220 --> 02:41.420 And the arms of the south shall not withstand, neither his chosen people, 02:41.800 --> 02:43.780 neither shall there be any strength to withstand. 02:44.560 --> 02:48.780 But he that cometh against him shall do according to his own will, and none shall 02:48.780 --> 02:49.640 stand before him. 02:49.860 --> 02:54.840 And he shall stand in the glorious land, which by his hand shall be consumed. 02:55.840 --> 02:59.200 He shall also set his face to enter with the strength of his whole kingdom, 02:59.620 --> 03:01.040 and upright ones with him. 03:01.540 --> 03:02.560 Thus shall he do. 03:03.060 --> 03:05.720 And he shall give him the daughter of women, corrupting her. 03:05.720 --> 03:09.760 But she shall not stand on his side, neither before him. 03:10.660 --> 03:14.000 After this shall he turn his face unto the isles, and shall take many. 03:14.500 --> 03:17.860 But a prince for his own behalf shall cause the reproach offered by him to 03:17.860 --> 03:18.160 cease. 03:18.640 --> 03:21.820 Without his own reproach he shall cause it to turn upon him. 03:22.720 --> 03:25.700 Then he shall turn his face toward the fort of his own land. 03:26.220 --> 03:29.040 But he shall stumble and fall, and not be found. 03:29.860 --> 03:34.300 Then shall stand up in his estate a raiser of taxes in the glory of the kingdom. 03:34.300 --> 03:39.200 But within few days he shall be destroyed, neither in anger nor in battle. 03:39.940 --> 03:44.040 And in his estate shall stand up a vile person, to whom they shall not give the 03:44.040 --> 03:44.760 honor of the kingdom. 03:45.200 --> 03:48.620 But he shall come in peaceably, and obtain the kingdom by flatteries. 03:49.180 --> 03:53.220 And with the arms of a flood shall they be overflown from before him, and shall be 03:53.220 --> 03:53.540 broken. 03:54.100 --> 03:56.040 Yea, also the prince of the covenant. 03:56.580 --> 03:59.840 And after the league made with him, he shall work deceitfully. 04:00.320 --> 04:03.540 For he shall come up, and shall become strong with a small people. 04:04.260 --> 04:07.560 He shall enter peaceably, even upon the fattest places of the province. 04:07.980 --> 04:11.520 And he shall do that which his fathers have not done, nor his father's fathers. 04:12.220 --> 04:15.680 He shall scatter among them the prey, and spoil, and riches. 04:16.020 --> 04:20.360 Yea, and he shall forecast his devices against the strongholds, even for a time. 04:20.880 --> 04:24.560 And he shall stir up his power and his courage against the king of the south with 04:24.560 --> 04:25.200 a great army. 04:25.200 --> 04:29.180 And the king of the south shall be stirred up to battle with a very great and mighty 04:29.180 --> 04:29.540 army. 04:30.020 --> 04:33.840 But he shall not stand, for they shall forecast devices against him. 04:34.420 --> 04:38.020 Yea, they that feed of the portion of his meat shall destroy him. 04:38.360 --> 04:41.760 And his army shall overflow, and many shall fall down slain. 04:42.380 --> 04:46.960 And both these kings' hearts shall be to do mischief, and they shall speak lies at 04:46.960 --> 04:47.580 one table. 04:48.040 --> 04:51.760 But it shall not prosper, for yet the end shall be at the time appointed. 04:52.500 --> 04:56.660 Then shall he return into his land with great riches, and his heart shall be 04:56.660 --> 04:57.760 against the holy covenant. 04:58.060 --> 05:00.920 And he shall do exploits, and return to his own land. 05:01.620 --> 05:04.780 At the time appointed he shall return, and come toward the south. 05:05.180 --> 05:07.760 But it shall not be as the former, or as the latter. 05:08.720 --> 05:10.700 For the ships of Chittim shall come against him. 05:11.260 --> 05:14.580 Therefore he shall be grieved, and return, and have indignation against 05:14.580 --> 05:15.260 the holy covenant. 05:15.640 --> 05:16.540 So shall he do. 05:17.140 --> 05:20.380 He shall even return, and have intelligence with them that forsake the 05:20.380 --> 05:20.800 holy covenant. 05:20.800 --> 05:23.520 And arms shall stand on his part. 05:23.740 --> 05:26.980 And they shall pollute the sanctuary of strength, and shall take away the daily 05:26.980 --> 05:27.520 sacrifice. 05:27.820 --> 05:30.380 And they shall place the abomination that maketh desolate. 05:31.220 --> 05:35.180 And such as do wickedly against the covenant shall he corrupt by flatteries. 05:35.540 --> 05:39.740 But the people that do know their God shall be strong, and do exploits. 05:40.340 --> 05:43.900 And they that understand among the people shall instruct many. 05:43.900 --> 05:49.600 Yet they shall fall by the sword, and by flame, by captivity, and by spoil 05:49.600 --> 05:50.540 many days. 05:51.260 --> 05:54.360 Now when they shall fall, they shall be hopin' with a little help. 05:54.840 --> 05:56.880 But many shall cleave to them with flatteries. 05:57.460 --> 06:01.560 And some of them of understanding shall fall, to try them, and to purge, 06:01.760 --> 06:04.220 and to make them white, even to the time of the end. 06:04.520 --> 06:06.400 Because it is yet for a time appointed. 06:07.220 --> 06:09.340 And the king shall do according to his will. 06:09.340 --> 06:13.500 And he shall exalt himself, and magnify himself above every god. 06:13.740 --> 06:16.760 And shall speak marvelous things against the god of gods. 06:17.080 --> 06:19.840 And shall prosper till the indignation be accomplished. 06:20.520 --> 06:22.460 For that that is determined shall be done. 06:22.860 --> 06:26.200 Neither shall he regard the god of his fathers, nor the desire of women, 06:26.620 --> 06:27.800 nor regard any god. 06:28.220 --> 06:31.020 For he shall magnify himself above all. 06:31.760 --> 06:34.260 But in his estate shall he honor the god of forces. 06:34.260 --> 06:38.520 And a god whom his fathers knew not shall he honor with gold, and silver, 06:38.780 --> 06:41.120 and with precious stones, and pleasant things. 06:41.880 --> 06:46.080 Thus shall he do in the most strongholds with a strange god, whom he shall 06:46.080 --> 06:47.740 acknowledge and increase with glory. 06:48.260 --> 06:52.440 And he shall cause them to rule over many, and shall divide the land for gain. 06:53.140 --> 06:56.260 And at the time of the end shall the king of the south push at him. 06:56.640 --> 06:59.980 And the king of the north shall come against him like a whirlwind, with 06:59.980 --> 07:02.560 chariots, and with horsemen, and with many ships. 07:02.560 --> 07:06.640 And he shall enter into the countries, and shall overflow and pass over. 07:07.360 --> 07:10.920 He shall enter also into the glorious land, and many countries shall be 07:10.920 --> 07:11.540 overthrown. 07:12.140 --> 07:17.700 But these shall escape out of his hand, even Edom, and Moab, and the chief of the 07:17.700 --> 07:18.520 children of Ammon. 07:19.180 --> 07:23.860 He shall stretch forth his hand also upon the countries, and the land of Egypt shall 07:23.860 --> 07:24.480 not escape. 07:25.000 --> 07:29.720 But he shall have power over the treasures of gold, and of silver, and over all the 07:29.720 --> 07:34.120 precious things of Egypt, and the Libyans and the Ethiopians shall be at his steps. 07:34.580 --> 07:37.640 But tidings out of the east and out of the north shall trouble him. 07:38.200 --> 07:43.020 Therefore he shall go forth with great fury to destroy, and utterly to make away 07:43.020 --> 07:43.400 many. 07:44.120 --> 07:47.520 And he shall plant the tabernacles of his palace between the seas and the glorious 07:47.520 --> 07:48.200 holy mountain. 07:48.740 --> 07:51.600 Yet he shall come to his end, and none shall help him.
