Daniel 8:25 (Scripture) [View All]

So I'm at my library job and I come across a book entitled "Metaphors and Monsters" by Paul A. Porter. It is a literary-critical study of Daniel 7 and 8. I open the book at random and the first thing I see is this bit of scripture:

By his cunning he shall make deceit prosper under his hand and in his own mind he shall magnify himself. Without warning he shall destroy many; and he shall even rise up against the Prince of princes; but, by no human hand, he shall be broken.

Sound like anyone we know?

I'm not a particularly religious person and the only way I've ever been able to read any of the Bible was by opening it at random and reading whatever my eyes fell upon. a good number of times I come across passages like the one above. Let's hope that "he" shall be broken soon.
