9 In the first year of Darius, the son of Ahasuerus, of the seed of the Medes; who was made king over the realm of the Chaldeans;
2 In the first year of his reign, I, Daniel, understood by the books of Jeremiah, the Prophet, the number of the years in which the LORD said He would accomplish seventy years in the desolations of Jerusalem.
3 And I turned my face to the Lord God, and sought by prayer and supplications, with fasting and sackcloth and ashes.
4 And I prayed to the LORD my God, and made my confession, saying, “Oh Lord God, Who are great and fearful, and keep Covenant and mercy toward those who love You, and toward those who keep Your Commandments,
5 “we have sinned and have committed iniquity, and have done wickedly. Yea, we have rebelled, and have departed from your Precepts, and from your Judgments.
6 “For we would not obey your servants, the Prophets; who spoke in your name to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers, and to all the people of the land.
7 “O Lord, righteousness belongs to you; and to us, open shame, as appears this day to every man of Judah, and to the inhabitants of Jerusalem; yea, to all Israel, both near and far off, through all the country where you have driven them because of the offenses they have committed against you.
8 “O Lord, to us belongs open shame – to our kings, to our princes, and to our fathers - because we have sinned against You.
9 “Yet compassion and forgiveness is in the Lord our God, even though we have rebelled against him.
10 “For we have not obeyed the voice of the LORD our God; to walk in his laws, which he has laid before us, by the ministry of his servants, the Prophets.
11 “Yea, all Israel has transgressed your Law, and has turned back, and has not heard your voice. Therefore, the curse is poured upon us, and the oath that is written in the Law of Moses, the servant of God, because we have sinned against him.
12 “And he has confirmed his words which he spoke against us, and against our judges who judged us, by bringing upon us a great plague. For under the whole heaven has there not been such as has been brought upon Jerusalem.
13 “All this plague has come upon us, as it is written in the Law of Moses. Yet made we not our prayer before the LORD our God, that we might turn from our iniquities and understand your truth.
14 “Therefore, the LORD has made ready the plague, and brought it upon us. For the LORD our God is righteous in all his works which he does. For we would not hear his voice.
15 “And now, O Lord our God, who has brought your people out of the land of Egypt with a mighty hand - and has gotten yourself renown, as appears this day - we have sinned. We have done wickedly.
16 “O Lord, according to all your righteousness, I beg you, let your anger and your wrath be turned away from your city, Jerusalem, your holy Mountain. Because of our sins, and for the iniquities of our fathers, Jerusalem and your people are a reproach to all that are around us.
17 “Now therefore, O our God, hear the prayer of your servant, and his supplications. And for the Lord’s sake, cause your face to shine upon your Sanctuary, which lies in ruins.
18 “O my God, incline your ear and hear. Open your eyes, and behold our desolations, and the city whereupon your Name is called. For we do not present our supplications before you for our own righteousness, but for your great tender mercies.
19 “O Lord, hear! O Lord, forgive! O Lord, consider, and do it! Do not delay, for your own sake, O my God. For your Name is called upon your city, and your people.”
20 And while I was speaking and praying, and confessing my sin, and the sin of my people Israel, and presented my supplication before the LORD my God for the holy Mountain of my God;
21 Yea, while I was speaking in prayer, the man, Gabriel, whom I had seen before in the vision, came flying, and touched me about the time of the evening offering.
22 And he informed me, and talked with me, and said, “O Daniel, I have now come forth to give you knowledge and understanding.
23 “At the beginning of your supplications, the commandment came forth. And I have come to show you, for you are greatly beloved. Therefore, understand the matter and consider the vision.
24 “Seventy weeks are determined upon your people, and upon your holy city; to finish the wickedness, and to seal up the sins, and to reconcile the iniquity, and to bring in everlasting righteousness, and to seal up the vision and prophecy, and to anoint the most Holy.
25 “Know therefore and understand that from the going forth of the commandment to build and restore the people, and to build Jerusalem to Messiah the Prince, shall be seven weeks and sixty-two weeks. And the street shall be built again, and the wall, even in a troublesome time.
26 “And after sixty-two weeks, Messiah shall be killed, and shall have nothing. And the people of the prince that shall come, shall destroy the city and the Sanctuary. And the end thereof shall be with a flood. And until the end of the battle, it shall be destroyed by desolations.
27 “And he shall confirm the covenant with many for one week. And in the midst of the week, he shall cause the sacrifice and the offering to cease. And on the wing of the abominations, shall he make it desolate; even until the consummation determined shall be poured upon the desolate.”
10 In the third year of Cyrus, king of Persia, a thing was revealed to Daniel (whose name was called Belteshazzar). And the word was true, but the time appointed was long. And he understood the thing, and had understanding of the vision.
2 At the same time I, Daniel, was in heaviness for three weeks of days.
3 I ate no pleasant bread, nor came flesh or wine into my mouth, nor did I anoint myself at all, till three weeks of days were fulfilled.
4 And on the twenty-fourth day of the first month, as I was by the side of that great river, Hiddekel,
5 I lifted my eyes, and looked. And behold, there was a man clothed in linen, whose waist was bound with fine gold of Uphaz.
6 His body also was like the Chrysolite; and his face like the lightning, and his eyes as lamps of fire. And his arms and his feet had the color of polished brass. And the voice of his words was like the voice of a multitude.
7 And I, Daniel, alone, saw the vision. For the men who were with me, saw not the vision. But a great fear fell upon them, so that they fled away and hid themselves.
8 Therefore I was left alone, and saw this great vision. And there remained no strength in me. For the strength in me was corrupted, and I retained no power.
9 Yet heard I the voice of his words. And when I heard the voice of his words, I slept on my face. And my face was toward the ground.
10 And behold, a hand touched me which set me up upon my knees, and upon the palms of my hands.
11 And he said to me, “O Daniel, a man greatly beloved, understand the words that I speak to you. And stand in your place. For to you am I now sent.” And when he had said this word to me, I stood trembling.
12 Then he said to me, “Fear not, Daniel. For from the first day that you set your heart to understand, and to humble yourself before your God, your words were heard. And I have come because of your words.
13 “But the prince of the kingdom of Persia resisted me twenty-one days. But lo, Michael, one of the chief princes, came to help me. And I remained there by the kings of Persia.
14 “Now I have come to show you what shall come to your people in the latter days. For the vision is for many days yet to come.”
15 And when he spoke these words to me, I set my face toward the ground, and held my tongue.
16 And behold, one looking similar to the sons of man touched my lips. Then I opened my mouth, and spoke, and said to him who stood before me, “O my lord, by the vision my sorrows have returned upon me. And I have retained no strength.
17 “For how can the servant of this, my lord, talk with my lord, being such one? For there now remains no strength in me, nor is there breath left in me.”
18 Then there came again one having the appearance of a man, who touched me, and strengthened me,
19 And said, “O man, greatly beloved, fear not. Peace be to you. Be strong and of good courage.” And when he had spoken to me, I was strengthened, and said, “Let my lord speak. For you have strengthened me.”
20 Then he said, “Do you know why I have come to you? But now I will return to fight with the Prince of Persia. And when I have gone forth, lo, the Prince of Greece shall come.
21 “But I will show you that which is decreed in the Scripture of truth. And there is no one who upholds me in these things except Michael, your prince.”
11 Also, I, in the first year of Darius of the Medes, stood to encourage and strengthen him.
18 Little children, it is the last hour. And just as you have heard that Antichrist shall come, so now there are many Antichrists (by which we know that it is the last hour).
19 They went out from us, but they were not of us. For if they had been of us, they would have continued with us. But this is so that all of those who were not of us are revealed.
20 But you have an anointing from the Holy One and know all things.
21 I have not written to you because you do not know the truth, but because you know it (and no lie comes from the truth).
22 Who is a liar, except the one who denies that Jesus is the Christ? This is Antichrist, who denies the Father and the Son.
23 Whoever denies the Son, the same does not have the Father.
24 Therefore, let that same which you have heard from the beginning remain in you. If that which you have heard from the beginning shall remain in you, you shall also continue in the Son and in the Father.
25 And this is the promise that He has promised us: eternal life.
26 These things I have written to you concerning those who deceive you.
27 But that anointing which you received from Him dwells in you. And you do not need anyone to teach you. But as that same anointing teaches you of all things - and it is true, and not lying, and as it is taught to you - you shall abide in Him.
28 And now, little children, abide in Him. So that when He shall appear, we may be bold and not be ashamed before Him at His coming.
29 If you know that He is righteous, you know that whoever does righteously is born of Him.
3 Behold, what love the Father has given to us, that we should be called the sons of God! For this reason, this world does not know you: because it does not know Him.
2 Dearly beloved, we are now the sons of God. But what we shall be is yet to be revealed. And we know that when He shall be revealed, we shall be like Him. For we shall see Him as He is.
3 And everyone who has this hope in Him purges himself, just as He is pure.
4 Whoever commits sin, also transgresses the Law. For sin is the transgression of the Law.
5 And you know that He was revealed so that He might take away our sins. And no sin is in Him.
6 Whoever abides in Him does not sin. Whoever sins has neither seen Him nor known Him.
121 I will lift up my eyes to the mountain, from where my help shall come.
2 My help comes from the LORD, Who has made Heaven and Earth.
3 He will not allow your foot to slip. He Who keeps you will not slumber.
4 Behold, He Who keeps Israel will neither slumber nor sleep.
5 The LORD is your Keeper. The LORD is your shadow at your right hand.
6 The Sun shall not strike you by day, nor the Moon by night.
7 The LORD shall preserve you from all evil. He shall keep your soul.
8 The LORD shall preserve your going out and your coming in, from henceforth and forever. A song of degrees, or Psalm, of David
27 He who gives to the poor shall lack nothing. But he who hides his eyes shall have many curses.
28 When the wicked arise, men hide themselves. But when they perish, the righteous increase.
