Dan 2:32, 7:6-7, 23, 8:5-14, 10:20, 11:3-20, Zec 6:3, 6 | ESV | STEP | The head of this image was of fine gold , its chest and arms of silver , its middle and thighs of bronze ,

6 After this I looked, and behold, another, like a ^dleopard, with four wings of a bird on its back. And the beast had four heads, and ^edominion was given to it. 7 After this I saw in the night visions, and behold, a fourth beast, ^fterrifying and dreadful and exceedingly strong. It had great iron teeth; ^git devoured and broke in pieces ^hand stamped what was left with its feet. It was different from all the beasts that were before it, and ⁱit had ten horns.

Daniel 7:23

23 “Thus he said: ‘As for ^jthe fourth beast,

there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth,
which shall be different from all the kingdoms,
and it shall devour the whole earth,
and trample it down, and break it to pieces.

Daniel 8:5-14

5 As I was considering, behold, a ^kmale goat came from the west across the face of the whole earth, without touching the ground. And the goat had ^la conspicuous horn between his eyes. 6 He came to ^mthe ram with the two horns, which I had seen standing on the bank of the canal, ⁿand he ran at him in his powerful wrath. 7 I saw him come close to the ram, ^oand he was enraged against him and struck the ram and broke his two horns. ^pAnd the ram had no power to stand before him, but he ^qcast him down to the ground and trampled on him. And there was no one who could rescue the ram from his power. 8 Then ^rthe goat ^sbecame exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four ^tconspicuous horns toward ^uthe four winds of heaven.

9 Out of one of them came ^va little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward ^wthe south, toward the east, and toward ^xthe glorious land. 10 ^yIt grew great, ^zeven to the host of heaven. And some of the host ^aaand some ^{▼▼Or host, that is, some} of ^acthe stars it threw down to the ground and ^adtrampled on them. 11 ^aeIt became great, even as great as ^afthe Prince of the host. ^agAnd the regular burnt offering was taken away from him, and the place of his sanctuary was overthrown. 12 And a host will be given over to it together with the regular burnt offering because of transgression, ^{▼▼Or in an act of rebellion} and it will throw truth to the ground, and ^aiit will act and prosper. 13 Then I heard ^aja holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, ^ak“For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, ^althe transgression that makes desolate, and the giving over of the sanctuary and host to be trampled underfoot?” 14 And he said to me, ^{▼▼Hebrew; Septuagint, Theodotion, Vulgate to him} “For 2,300 ^anevenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.”

Daniel 10:20

20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight against the ^aoprince of Persia; and when I go out, behold, the prince of ^apGreece will come.

Daniel 11:3-20

3 Then ^aqa mighty king shall arise, who shall rule with great dominion and ^ardo as he wills. 4 And as soon as he has arisen, ^ashis kingdom shall be broken and divided ^attoward the ^aufour winds of heaven, but ^avnot to his posterity, nor according to the authority with which he ruled, for his kingdom shall be plucked up and go to others besides these.

5 “Then the king of the south shall be strong, but one of his princes shall be stronger than he ^awand shall rule, and his authority shall be a great authority. 6 After some years ^axthey shall make an alliance, and the daughter of the king of the south shall come to the king of the north to make an agreement. But she shall not retain the strength of her arm, and he and his arm shall not endure, but she shall be given up, and her attendants, he who fathered her, and he who supported ^{▼▼Or obtained} her in those times.

7 “And from a branch from her roots one shall arise in his place. He shall come against the army and enter the ^azfortress of the king of the north, and he shall deal with them and shall prevail. 8 He shall also carry off to Egypt their gods with their metal images and their precious ^bavessels of silver and gold, and for some years he shall refrain from attacking the king of the north. 9 Then the latter shall come into the realm of the king of the south but shall return to his own land.

10 “His sons shall wage war and assemble a multitude of great forces, which shall keep coming ^bband overflow and pass through, and again shall carry the war as far as his ^bcfortress. 11 Then the king of the south, ^bdmoved with rage, shall come out and fight against the king of the north. ^beAnd he shall raise a great multitude, but it shall be given into his hand. 12 And when the multitude is taken away, his heart shall be exalted, and he shall cast down tens of thousands, but he shall not prevail. 13 For the king of the north shall again ^bfraise a multitude, greater than the first. And ^bgafter some years ^{▼▼Hebrew at the end of the times} he shall come on with a great army and abundant supplies.

14 “In those times many shall rise against the king of the south, and the violent among your own people shall lift themselves up in order to fulfill the vision, but ^bithey shall fail. 15 Then the king of the north shall come and ^bjthrow up siegeworks and take a well-fortified city. And the forces of the south shall not stand, or even his best troops, for there shall be no strength to stand. 16 But he who comes against him shall ^bkdo as he wills, and ^blnone shall stand before him. And he shall stand in ^bmthe glorious land, with destruction in his hand. 17 He shall ^bnset his face to come with the strength of his whole kingdom, and he shall bring terms of an agreement and perform them. He shall give him the daughter of women to destroy the kingdom, ^{▼▼Hebrew her, or it} but it shall not stand or be to his advantage. 18 Afterward he shall turn his face to the coastlands and shall capture many of them, but a commander shall put an end to his insolence. Indeed, ^{▼▼The meaning of the Hebrew is uncertain} he ^bqshall turn his insolence back upon him. 19 Then he shall turn his face back toward the ^brfortresses of his own land, but he shall ^bsstumble and fall, ^btand shall not be found.

20 “Then shall arise in his place one who shall send an ^buexactor of tribute for the glory of the kingdom. But within a few days he shall be broken, neither in anger nor in battle.

Zechariah 6:3

3 the third ^bvwhite horses, and the fourth chariot dappled horses—all of them strong. ^{▼▼Or and the fourth chariot strong dappled horses}

Zechariah 6:6

6 The chariot with the black horses goes toward ^bxthe north country, the white ones go after them, and the dappled ones go toward ^bythe south country.”
