9, “And they came to the place which God had told him of; and Abraham built an altar there, and laid the wood in order, and bound Isaac his son, and laid him on the altar upon the wood.
10":
And Abraham stretched forth his hand, and took the knife to slay his son.
"11": And the angel of the LORD called unto him out of heaven, and
said, Abraham, Abraham: and he said, Here am I.
"12": And he said, Lay not thine hand upon the lad, neither do thou
any thing unto him: for now I know that thou fearest God, seeing thou hast not
withheld thy son, thine only son from me.
"13": And Abraham
lifted up his eyes, and looked, and behold behind him a ram caught in a thicket by his horns: and Abraham went and took the ram,
and offered him up for a burnt offering in the stead of his son. “

“Bush Shocks Foreigners With 'Satanic' Sign”:

“….President Bush's "Hook 'em, 'horns" salute….
the gesture is a sign of love for the University of Texas Longhorns…”
"1": In the third year of the reign of king Belshazzar a vision
appeared unto me, even unto me Daniel, after that which appeared unto me at the
first.
"2": And I saw in a vision; and it came to pass, when I saw, that I
was at Shushan in the palace, which is in the province of Elam; and I saw
in a vision, and I was by the river of Ulai.
"3": Then I lifted up mine eyes, and saw, and, behold, there stood
before the river a ram which
had two horns: and the two horns were high; but one was higher
than the other, and the higher came up last.
"4": I saw the ram pushing westward, and northward, and southward; so
that no beasts might stand before him, neither was there any that could deliver
out of his hand; but he did according to his will, and became great.
"5": And as I was considering, behold, an he goat came from the west on the face
of the whole earth, and touched not the ground: and the goat had
a notable horn between his eyes.
"6": And he came to the ram that had two horns, which I had there seen standing before the
river, and ran unto him in the fury of his power.
"7": And I saw him come close unto the ram, and he was moved with
choler against him, and smote the ram, and brake his two horns: and there was no power in the ram to stand
before him, but he cast him down to the ground, and stamped upon him: and there
was none that could deliver the ram out of his hand.
"8": Therefore the he goat waxed very great: and when he was
strong, the great horn
was broken; and for it came up four notable ones toward the four winds of
heaven.
"9": And out of one of them came forth a little horn, which waxed
exceeding great, toward the south, and toward the east, and toward the pleasant
land.
"10": And it waxed great, even to the host of heaven; and it cast
down some of the host and of the stars to the ground, and stamped upon them.
"11": Yea, he magnified himself even to the prince of the host, and
by him the daily sacrifice was taken away, and the place of his sanctuary was cast down.
"12": And an host was given him against the daily sacrifice by reason
of transgression, and it cast down the truth to the ground; and it practised, and prospered.
"13": Then I heard one saint speaking, and another saint said unto
that certain saint which spake, How long shall be the vision concerning the
daily sacrifice, and the transgression of desolation, to give both the sanctuary and the host to be trodden under
foot?
"14": And he said unto me, Unto two thousand and three hundred days;
then shall the sanctuary be
cleansed.
"15": And it came to pass, when I, even I Daniel, had seen the
vision, and sought for the meaning, then, behold, there stood before me as the
appearance of a man.
"16": And I heard a man's voice between the banks of Ulai, which
called, and said, Gabriel, make this man to understand the vision.
"17": So he came near where I stood: and when he came, I was afraid,
and fell upon my face: but he said unto me, Understand, O son of man: for at
the time of the end shall be the vision.
"18": Now as he was speaking with me, I was in a deep sleep on my
face toward the ground: but he touched me, and set me upright.
"19": And he said, Behold, I will make thee know what shall be in the
last end of the indignation: for at the time appointed the end shall be.
"20": The ram which thou sawest having two horns are the kings of Media and Persia.
"21": And the rough goat is the king of Grecia: and the great horn that
is between his eyes is the first king.
"22": Now that being broken, whereas four stood up for it, four
kingdoms shall stand up out of the nation, but not in his power.
"23": And in the latter time of their kingdom, when the transgressors
are come to the full, a king of fierce countenance, and understanding dark
sentences, shall stand up.
"24": And his power shall be mighty, but not by his own power: and he
shall destroy wonderfully, and shall prosper, and practise, and shall destroy the mighty and the holy people.
"25": And through his policy also he shall cause craft to prosper in
his hand; and he shall magnify himself in his heart, and by peace shall destroy
many: he shall also stand up against the Prince of princes; but he shall be
broken without hand.
"26": And the vision of the evening and the morning which was told is
true: wherefore shut thou up the vision; for it shall be for many days.
"27": And I Daniel fainted, and was sick certain days; afterward I
rose up, and did the king's business; and I was astonished at the vision, but
none understood it.
