Dan 7:8, 20-25, 8:8-14, 11:36-12:1, 12:7, 11, 2Th 2:3-12, 1Ti 4:1-3 | ESV | STEP | I considered the horns , and behold , there came up among them another horn , a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots . And behold , in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man , and a mouth speaking great things .

8 I considered the horns, and behold, ^athere came up among them another horn, a little one, ^bbefore which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots. And behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and ^ca mouth speaking great things.

Daniel 7:20-25

20 ^dand about the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn that came up and before which three of them fell, the horn that had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and that seemed greater than its companions. 21 As I looked, this horn ^emade war with the saints and prevailed over them, 22 until the ^fAncient of Days came, and ^gjudgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when ^hthe saints possessed the kingdom.

23 “Thus he said: ‘As for ⁱthe 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.
24 As for the ten horns,
out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,
and another shall arise after them;
he shall be different from the former ones,
and shall put down three kings.
25 ^jHe shall speak words against the Most High,
and shall wear out the saints of the Most High,
and shall think to ^kchange the times and the law;
and they shall be given into his hand
for ^la time, times, and half a time.

Daniel 8:8-14

8 Then ^mthe goat ⁿbecame exceedingly great, but when he was strong, the great horn was broken, and instead of it there came up four ^oconspicuous horns toward ^pthe four winds of heaven.

9 Out of one of them came ^qa little horn, which grew exceedingly great toward ^rthe south, toward the east, and toward ^sthe glorious land. 10 ^tIt grew great, ^ueven to the host of heaven. And some of the host ^vand some ^{▼▼Or host, that is, some} of ^xthe stars it threw down to the ground and ^ytrampled on them. 11 ^zIt became great, even as great as ^aathe Prince of the host. ^abAnd 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 ^adit will act and prosper. 13 Then I heard ^aea holy one speaking, and another holy one said to the one who spoke, ^af“For how long is the vision concerning the regular burnt offering, ^agthe 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 ^aievenings and mornings. Then the sanctuary shall be restored to its rightful state.”

Daniel 11:36-45

36 “And the king shall ^ajdo as he wills. ^akHe shall exalt himself and magnify himself above every god, ^aland shall speak astonishing things against ^amthe God of gods. ^anHe shall prosper ^aotill the indignation is accomplished; for what is decreed shall be done. 37 He shall pay no attention to the gods of his fathers, or to the one beloved by women. He shall not pay attention to any other god, for ^aphe shall magnify himself above all. 38 He shall honor the god of fortresses instead of these. A god whom his fathers did not know he shall honor ^aqwith gold and silver, with precious stones and costly gifts. 39 He shall deal with the strongest fortresses with the help of a foreign god. Those who acknowledge him he shall load with honor. He shall make them rulers over many and ^arshall divide the land for a price. ^{▼▼Or land as payment}

40 ^at“At the time of the end, the king of the south shall attack ^{▼▼Hebrew thrust at} him, but the king of the north shall rush upon him ^avlike a whirlwind, with chariots and horsemen, and with many ships. And he shall come into countries and ^awshall overflow and pass through. 41 He shall come into ^axthe glorious land. And tens of thousands shall fall, but these shall be delivered out of his hand: ^ayEdom and ^azMoab and the main part of the ^baAmmonites. 42 He shall stretch out his hand against the countries, and the land of Egypt shall not escape. 43 He shall become ruler of the treasures of gold and of silver, and all the precious things of Egypt, and the ^bbLibyans and the ^bcCushites shall follow in his train. 44 But news from the east and the north shall alarm him, and he shall go out with great fury to destroy and devote many to destruction. 45 And he shall pitch his palatial tents between the sea and the glorious holy mountain. Yet he shall come to his end, with none to help him.

Daniel 12:1

The Time of the End

1 “At that time shall arise ^bdMichael, the great prince who has charge of your people. And ^bethere shall be a time of trouble, such as never has been since there was a nation till that time. But at that time your people shall be delivered, ^bfeveryone whose name shall be found written in the book.

Daniel 12:7

7 And I heard ^bgthe man clothed in linen, who was above the waters of the stream; ^bhhe raised his right hand and his left hand toward heaven and ^biswore by him who lives forever that it would be for a ^bjtime, times, and half a time, and that when the shattering of ^bkthe power of ^blthe holy people comes to an end all these things would be finished.

Daniel 12:11

11 And from the time that ^bmthe regular burnt offering is taken away and ^bnthe abomination that makes desolate is set up, there shall be 1,290 days.

2 Thessalonians 2:3-12

3 ^boLet no one deceive you in any way. For that day will not come, ^bpunless the rebellion comes first, and ^bqthe man of lawlessness ^{▼▼Some manuscripts sin} is revealed, ^bsthe son of destruction, ^{▼▼Greek the son of perdition (a Hebrew idiom)} 4 who opposes and exalts himself against every so-called god or object of worship, so that he takes his seat in the temple of God, ^buproclaiming himself to be God. 5 Do you not remember that when I was still with you I told you these things? 6 And you know what is restraining him now so that he may be revealed in his time. 7 For ^bvthe mystery of lawlessness ^bwis already at work. Only he who now restrains it will do so until he is out of the way. 8 And then ^bxthe lawless one will be revealed, whom the Lord Jesus ^bywill kill with ^bzthe breath of his mouth and bring to nothing by ^cathe appearance of his coming. 9 The coming of the lawless one is by the activity of Satan ^cbwith all power and false signs and wonders, 10 and with all wicked deception for ^ccthose who are perishing, because they refused to love the truth and so be saved. 11 Therefore ^cdGod sends them a strong delusion, so that they may believe ^cewhat is false, 12 in order that all may be condemned ^cfwho did not believe the truth but ^cghad pleasure in unrighteousness.

1 Timothy 4:1-3

Some Will Depart from the Faith

1 Now ^chthe Spirit expressly says that ^ciin later times some will depart from the faith by devoting themselves to ^cjdeceitful spirits and teachings of demons, 2 through the insincerity of ^ckliars whose consciences are seared, 3 ^clwho forbid marriage and ^cmrequire abstinence from foods ^cnthat God created ^coto be received with thanksgiving by those who believe and know the truth.
