18Now as he was speaking with me, I fell into a deep sleep with my face toward the ground; but he touched me, and set me upright.
19He said, Behold, I will make you know what shall be in the latter time of the indignation; for it belongs to the appointed time of the end.
20The ram which you saw, that had the two horns, they are the kings of Media and Persia.
21The rough male goat is the king of Greece: and the great horn that is between his eyes is the first king.
22As for that which was broken, in the place whereof four stood up, four kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not with his power.
23In the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors are come to the full, a king of fierce face, and understanding dark sentences, shall stand up.
24His power shall be mighty, but not by his own power; and he shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper and do [his pleasure]; and he shall destroy the mighty ones and the holy people.
