1 Εν τω πρωτω ετει του Βαλτασαρ βασιλεως της Βαβυλωνος ο Δανιηλ ειδεν ενυπνιον και ορασεις της κεφαλης αυτου επι της κλινης αυτου· τοτε εγραψε το ενυπνιον και διηγηθη το κεφαλαιον των λογων.

2 Ο Δανιηλ ελαλησε και ειπεν, Εγω εθεωρουν εν τω οραματι μου την νυκτα και ιδου οι τεσσαρες ανεμοι του ουρανου συνεφωρμησαν επι την θαλασσαν την μεγαλην.

3 Και τεσσαρα θηρια μεγαλα ανεβησαν εκ της θαλασσης, διαφεροντα απ' αλληλων.

4 Το πρωτον ητο ως λεων και ειχε πτερυγας αετου· εθεωρουν εωσου απεσπασθησαν αι πτερυγες αυτου, και εσηκωθη απο της γης και εσταθη επι τους ποδας ως ανθρωπος, και καρδια ανθρωπου εδοθη εις αυτο.

5 Και ιδου, επειτα θηριον δευτερον ομοιον με αρκτον, και εσηκωθη κατα το εν πλαγιον, και ειχε τρεις πλευρας εν τω στοματι αυτου μεταξυ των οδοντων αυτου· και ελεγον ουτω προς αυτο· Σηκωθητι, καταφαγε σαρκας πολλας.

6 Μετα τουτο εθεωρουν και ιδου, ετερον ως λεοπαρδαλις, εχον επι τα νωτα αυτου τεσσαρας πτερυγας πτηνου· το θηριον ειχεν ετι τεσσαρας κεφαλας· και εδοθη εξουσια εις αυτο.

7 Μετα τουτο ειδον εν τοις οραμασι της νυκτος και ιδου, θηριον τεταρτον, τρομερον και καταπληκτικον και ισχυρον σφοδρα· και ειχε μεγαλους σιδηρους οδοντας· κατετρωγε και κατεσυντριβε και κατεπατει το υπολοιπον με τους ποδας αυτου· και αυτο ητο διαφορον παντων των θηριων των προ αυτου· και ειχε δεκα κερατα.

8 Παρετηρουν τα κερατα και ιδου, ετερον μικρον κερας ανεβη μεταξυ αυτων, εμπροσθεν του οποιου τρια εκ των πρωτων κερατων εξερριζωθησαν· και ιδου, εν τω κερατι τουτω ησαν οφθαλμοι ως οφθαλμοι ανθρωπου και στομα λαλουν πραγματα μεγαλα.

9 Εθεωρουν εως οτου οι θρονοι ετεθησαν και ο Παλαιος των ημερων εκαθησε, του οποιου το ενδυμα ητο λευκον ως χιων και αι τριχες της κεφαλης αυτου ως μαλλιον καθαρον· ο θρονος αυτου ητο ως φλοξ πυρος, οι τροχοι αυτου ως πυρ καταφλεγον.

10 Ποταμος πυρος εξηρχετο και διεχεετο απ' εμπροσθεν αυτου· χιλιαι χιλιαδες υπηρετουν εις αυτον και μυριαι μυριαδες παρισταντο ενωπιον αυτου· το κριτηριον εκαθησε και τα βιβλια ανεωχθησαν.

11 Εθεωρουν τοτε εξ αιτιας της φωνης των μεγαλων λογων, τους οποιους το κερας ελαλει, εθεωρουν εωσου εθανατωθη το θηριον και το σωμα αυτου απωλεσθη και εδοθη εις καυσιν πυρος.

12 Περι δε των λοιπων θηριων, η εξουσια αυτων αφηρεθη· πλην παρατασις ζωης εδοθη εις αυτα εως καιρου και χρονου.

13 Ειδον εν οραμασι νυκτος και ιδου, ως Υιος ανθρωπου ηρχετο μετα των νεφελων του ουρανου και εφθασεν εως του Παλαιου των ημερων και εισηγαγον αυτον ενωπιον αυτου.

14 Και εις αυτον εδοθη η εξουσια και η δοξα και η βασιλεια, δια να λατρευωσιν αυτον παντες οι λαοι, τα εθνη και αι γλωσσαι· η εξουσια αυτου ειναι εξουσια αιωνιος, ητις δεν θελει παρελθει, και η βασιλεια αυτου, ητις δεν θελει φθαρη.

15 Εφριξε το πνευμα εμου του Δανιηλ εντος του σωματος μου και αι ορασεις της κεφαλης μου με εταραττον.

16 Επλησιασα εις ενα των παρισταμενων και εζητουν να μαθω παρ' αυτου την αληθειαν παντων τουτων. Και ελαλησε προς εμε και μοι εφανερωσε την ερμηνειαν των πραγματων.

17 Ταυτα τα μεγαλα θηρια, τα οποια ειναι τεσσαρα, ειναι τεσσαρες βασιλεις, οιτινες θελουσιν εγερθη εκ της γης.

18 Αλλ' οι αγιοι του Υψιστου θελουσι παραλαβει την βασιλειαν και θελουσιν εχει το βασιλειον εις τον αιωνα και εις τον αιωνα του αιωνος.

19 Τοτε ηθελον να μαθω την αληθειαν περι του τεταρτου θηριου, το οποιον ητο διαφορον απο παντων των αλλων, καθ' υπερβολην τρομερον, του οποιου οι οδοντες ησαν σιδηροι και οι ονυχες αυτου χαλκινοι· κατετρωγε, κατεσυντριβε και κατεπατει το υπολοιπον με τους ποδας αυτου·

20 και περι των δεκα κερατων, τα οποια ησαν εν τη κεφαλη αυτου και περι του αλλου, το οποιον ανεβη και εμπροσθεν του οποιου επεσον τρια· περι του κερατος λεγω εκεινου, το οποιον ειχεν οφθαλμους και στομα λαλουν μεγαλα πραγματα, του οποιου η οψις ητο ρωμαλεωτερα παρα των συντροφων αυτου.

21 Εθεωρουν, και το κερας εκεινο εκαμνε πολεμον μετα των αγιων και υπερισχυε κατ' αυτων·

22 εωσου ηλθεν ο Παλαιος των ημερων και εδοθη η κρισις εις τους αγιους του Υψιστου· και ο καιρος εφθασε και οι αγιοι ελαβον την βασιλειαν.

23 Και εκεινος ειπε, το θηριον το τεταρτον θελει εισθαι η τεταρτη βασιλεια επι της γης, ητις θελει διαφερει απο πασων των βασιλειων, και θελει καταφαγει πασαν την γην και θελει καταπατησει αυτην και κατασυντριψει αυτην.

24 Και τα δεκα κερατα ειναι δεκα βασιλεις, οιτινες θελουσιν εγερθη εκ της βασιλειας ταυτης· και κατοπιν αυτων αλλος θελει εγερθη· και αυτος θελει διαφερει των πρωτων και θελει υποταξει τρεις βασιλεις.

25 Και θελει λαλησει λογους εναντιον του Υψιστου, και θελει κατατρεχει τους αγιους του Υψιστου, και θελει διανοηθη να μεταβαλλη καιρους και νομους· και θελουσι δοθη εις την χειρα αυτου μεχρι καιρου και καιρων και ημισεος καιρου.

26 Κριτηριον ομως θελει καθησει, και θελει αφαιρεθη η εξουσια αυτου, δια να φθαρη και να αφανισθη εως τελους.

27 Και η βασιλεια και η εξουσια και η μεγαλωσυνη των βασιλειων των υποκατω παντος του ουρανου θελει δοθη εις τον λαον των αγιων του Υψιστου, του οποιου η βασιλεια ειναι βασιλεια αιωνιος, και πασαι αι εξουσιαι θελουσι λατρευσει και υπακουσει εις αυτον.

28 Εως ενταυθα ειναι το τελος του πραγματος. Οσον δι' εμε τον Δανιηλ, οι διαλογισμοι μου πολυ με εταραττον και η οψις μου ηλλοιωθη εν εμοι· πλην συνετηρησα το πραγμα εν τη καρδια μου.

36. Verse 7. Behold, He cometh with the clouds, signifies that the Lord is about to reveal Himself in the Word through the internal sense. This is evident from the signification of "coming," as being, in reference to the Lord, to reveal Himself; and from the signification of "clouds," as being Divine truths in ultimates, thus the Word in the letter; for the Word as to the sense of the letter is Divine truth in ultimates; and since each thing therein contains an internal or spiritual sense, "coming with clouds" means revealing Himself through that sense. That "clouds" signify Divine truths in ultimates is from appearances in the spiritual world. There clouds appear in various kinds of light; in the inmost or third heaven in a flaming light, in the middle or second heaven in a bright white light, and in the outmost or first heaven in a light more dense; and everyone there knows that they signify Divine truth from the Lord through the angels; for when Divine truth proceeding from the Lord, which is the very light of heaven, passes through the angels, it appears as a cloud, purer or denser according to their intelligence. Such clouds have oftentimes been seen by me, and what they signify has also been perceived. This is why "clouds," such as those that appear before the eyes of men in the world, signify Divine truth in ultimates; and as the Word in the letter is Divine truth in ultimates, that is what is meant by "clouds."

[2] He who does not know that "clouds" have this signification, may suppose that the Lord is about to come in clouds for the Last Judgment, and to appear in glory; according to His words in the Evangelists, where He says:

Then shall appear the sign of the Son of man in heaven, and they shall see the Son of man coming in the clouds of heaven, with power and much glory (Matthew 24:30; Mark 13:26; Luke 21:27).

"The consummation of the age" which is there treated of is the last time of the church; and the Lord's coming at that time is the revelation of Himself, and of Divine truth which is from Him, in the Word, through the internal sense. Elsewhere than in the Word the Lord does not reveal Himself, nor does He reveal Himself there except through the internal sense. The Word in the internal sense is also signified by "power" and "glory." (That this is fulfilled at this day, namely that the age is consummated, and the Last Judgment accomplished; and also that the Lord has come in the clouds of heaven, that is, has revealed the internal sense of the Word, may be seen in the small work on The Last Judgment, from beginning to end; also in the work on Heaven and Hell 1; also in The Doctrine of the New Jerusalem, n.249-266.

That "the consummation of the age" signifies the last time of the church, see Arcana Coelestia 4535, 10622; that "the coming of the Lord" signifies the revelation of Divine truth through the internal sense, n. 3900, 4060; that "clouds" signify the sense of the letter of the Word, n. 4060, 4391, 5922, 6343, 6752, 8106, 8781, 9430, 10551, 10574; that "glory" signifies Divine truth in heaven, thus the internal sense, for this is Divine truth in heaven, n. 5922, 9429[1-7], 10574. The Lord is said to be "about to come in power," because Divine truth, which is from the Lord has all power, see in the work on Heaven and Hell 228-233, 539.) The like is meant by the Lord's words to the high priest:

Jesus said to the high priest, Henceforth ye shall see the Son of man sitting at the right hand of power, and coming in the clouds of heaven (Matthew 26:64; Mark 14:62).

"The Son of man" is the Lord as to Divine truth; "sitting at the right hand of power" is His omnipotence; "coming in the clouds of heaven" is the revelation of Divine truth respecting Him in the Word, for He has revealed Himself and has also fulfilled all things contained in the internal sense, which treats especially of the glorification of His Human.

[3] The same is signified by "clouds" in the following passages. In Daniel:

I saw in the night visions, and behold there came with the clouds of heaven, one like unto the Son of man (Daniel 7:13);

in Revelation:

I saw, and behold a white cloud; and on the cloud one sat like unto a man, 1 having on his head a crown (Revelation 14:14, 16);

in Isaiah:

Behold, Jehovah sitting upon a dense light cloud (Isaiah 19:1);

in David:

Sing unto God, sing praises to His name, extol Him that rideth upon the clouds (Psalms 68:4);

in the same:

Jehovah appointeth the clouds His chariot; He walketh upon the wings of the wind (Psalms 104:3).

Who cannot see that these things are not to be understood according to the sense of the letter, that is, that Jehovah sits upon a cloud, that He rides upon the clouds, and that He makes the clouds His chariot? He who thinks spiritually may know that Jehovah is present in His Divine truth, for this proceeds from Him, consequently that this is what is meant by "clouds there;" so it is also said that Jehovah "appointeth the clouds His chariot;" because by "chariot" is signified the doctrine of truth (See Arcana Coelestia 2762, 5321, 8215).

[4] Likewise in the following places. In Isaiah:

Drop down, ye heavens, from above, and let the higher clouds [pour down] righteousness (Isaiah 45:8);

in Nahum:

The way of Jehovah is with cloud 2 and storm, and clouds are the dust of His feet (Nahum 1:3);

in David:

Ascribe ye strength unto God; His excellency is over Israel, and His strength is in the higher clouds (Psalms 68:34);

A faithful witness in the clouds (Psalms 89:37);

in Moses:

There is none like unto the God of Jeshurun, who rideth upon the heaven in thy help, and in thy 3 magnificence upon the clouds (Deuteronomy 33:26).

From this it can be seen what is meant by:

The cloud filling the inner court (Ezekiel 10:3-4);

And the cloud resting upon the tent (repeatedly in Moses); also that:

Jesus when He was transfigured, was seen in glory, and a cloud overshadowed the three disciples, and it was said to them out of the cloud, This is my beloved son (Matthew 17:1-10; Mark 9:1-11; Luke 9:28-36).

(See also what is said about the Lord's being in a cloud in the midst of angels, in the little work on The Earths in the Universe 171.)

1 The burden of Egypt: "Behold, Yahweh rides on a swift cloud, and comes to Egypt. The idols of Egypt will tremble at his presence; and the heart of Egypt will melt in its midst.

2 I will stir up the Egyptians against the Egyptians, and they will fight everyone against his brother, and everyone against his neighbor; city against city, and kingdom against kingdom.

3 The spirit of Egypt will fail in its midst. I will destroy its counsel. They will seek the idols, the charmers, those who have familiar spirits, and the wizards.

4 I will give over the Egyptians into the hand of a cruel lord. A fierce king will rule over them," says the Lord, Yahweh of Armies.

5 The waters will fail from the sea, and the river will be wasted and become dry.

6 The rivers will become foul. The streams of Egypt will be diminished and dried up. The reeds and flags will wither away.

7 The meadows by the Nile, by the brink of the Nile, and all the sown fields of the Nile, will become dry, be driven away, and be no more.

8 The fishermen will lament, and all those who fish in the Nile will mourn, and those who spread nets on the waters will languish.

9 Moreover those who work in combed flax, and those who weave white cloth, will be confounded.

10 The pillars will be broken in pieces. All those who work for hire will be grieved in soul.

11 The princes of Zoan are utterly foolish. The counsel of the wisest counselors of Pharaoh has become stupid. How do you say to Pharaoh, "I am the son of the wise, the son of ancient kings?"

12 Where then are your wise men? Let them tell you now; and let them know what Yahweh of Armies has purposed concerning Egypt.

13 The princes of Zoan have become fools. The princes of Memphis are deceived. They have caused Egypt to go astray, who are the cornerstone of her tribes.

14 Yahweh has mixed a spirit of perverseness in the midst of her; and they have caused Egypt to go astray in all of its works, like a drunken man staggers in his vomit.

15 Neither shall there be for Egypt any work, which head or tail, palm branch or rush, may do.

16 In that day the Egyptians will be like women. They will tremble and fear because of the shaking of the hand of Yahweh of Armies, which he shakes over them.

17 The land of Judah will become a terror to Egypt. Everyone to whom mention is made of it will be afraid, because of the plans of Yahweh of Armies, which he determines against it.

18 In that day, there will be five cities in the land of Egypt that speak the language of Canaan, and swear to Yahweh of Armies. One will be called "The city of destruction."

19 In that day, there will be an altar to Yahweh in the midst of the land of Egypt, and a pillar to Yahweh at its border.

20 It will be for a sign and for a witness to Yahweh of Armies in the land of Egypt; for they will cry to Yahweh because of oppressors, and he will send them a savior and a defender, and he will deliver them.

21 Yahweh will be known to Egypt, and the Egyptians will know Yahweh in that day. Yes, they will worship with sacrifice and offering, and will vow a vow to Yahweh, and will perform it.

22 Yahweh will strike Egypt, striking and healing. They will return to Yahweh, and he will be entreated by them, and will heal them.

23 In that day there will be a highway out of Egypt to Assyria, and the Assyrian shall come into Egypt, and the Egyptian into Assyria; and the Egyptians will worship with the Assyrians.

24 In that day, Israel will be the third with Egypt and with Assyria, a blessing in the midst of the earth;

25 because Yahweh of Armies has blessed them, saying, "blessed be Egypt my people, Assyria the work of my hands, and Israel my inheritance."
