'For this is'

Hi guys! I need your help very much! Sometimes, I listen such phrases like "for this is the end" or "for this is prophecy". Can anybody explain me, what does mean "for this is"? In what way I can translate it from English?

Thank you.

It is an old English term and I guess the best way to understand it is that it kinda means therefore...so because something else happened...therefore this is the end. Or, in your 2nd example it is like saying BECAUSE this is the prophecy but has a sort of understanding that it's coming from something like God or a prophet...FOR this is the prophecy of Daniel. So, it could also be saying So this is the prophecy or Because this is the prophecy and probably So is the best bet. It is basically really old style English that you kinda figure out by seeing used in sentences.
