17So he came and took his place near where I was; and when he came, I was full of fear and went down on my face: but he said to me, Let it be clear to you, O son of man; for the vision has to do with the time of the end.
18Now while he was talking to me, I went into a deep sleep with my face to the earth: but touching me, he put me on my feet where I had been.
19And he said, See, I will make clear to you what is to come in the later time of the wrath: for it has to do with the fixed time of the end.
20The sheep which you saw with two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21And the he-goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn between his eyes is the first king.
22And as for that which was broken, in place of which four came up, four kingdoms will come up from his nation, but not with his power.
23And in the later years of their kingdom, when their evil doings have become complete, there will come up a king full of pride and expert in dark sayings.
