Daniel 8 · Grade 4

A Vision by the Ulai

Name Date

Read and Think

In the third year of King Belshazzar, Daniel saw a vision by the river Ulai. A ram which had two horns stood before the river. It pushed westward, northward, and southward, and no animal could stand before it. Then a male goat came from the west and didn't touch the ground. The goat had a notable horn between his eyes, and it broke the ram's two horns.

The male goat magnified himself exceedingly. Then the great horn was broken, and four notable horns came up. A little horn grew from one of them and became very great. It grew proud against the prince of the army, and it cast down truth to the ground.

Daniel sought to understand it. A voice said, Gabriel, make this man understand the vision. Gabriel said the ram stood for the kings of Media and Persia, and the goat stood for the king of Greece. A fierce king would rise up and stand against the prince of princes; but he will be broken without hand. Daniel fainted and was sick for some days. Then he rose up and did the king's business.
