Daniel 7:17-27

17These greatH7260 beastsH2423, which are fourH703, are fourH703 kingsH4430, that shall ariseH6966 out of the earthH772. 18But the saints of the Most High shall receiveH6902 the kingdomH4437, and possess the kingdomH4437 for everH5957, even for everH5957 and everH5957. 19ThenH116 I desired to know the truth concerningH5922 the fourthH7244 beastH2423, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of ironH6523, and its nails of brass; which devouredH399, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; 20and concerningH5922 the tenH6236 hornsH7162 that were on its headH7217, and the other hornH7162 which came up, and before which threeH8532 fellH5308, even that hornH7162 that had eyesH5870, and a mouthH6433 that spake greatH7229 things, whose look was moreH4481 stout than its fellows. 21I beheld, and the same hornH7162 made war with the saints, and prevailed against them; 22until the ancientH6268 of daysH3118 cameH858, and judgment was given to the saints of the Most High, and the timeH2166 cameH858 that the saints possessed the kingdomH4437.

23Thus he saidH560, The fourthH7244 beastH2423 shall be a fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 upon earthH772, which shall be diverse from all the kingdomsH4437, and shall devourH399 the whole earthH772, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces. 24And as for the tenH6236 hornsH7162, out of this kingdomH4437 shall tenH6236 kingsH4430 ariseH6966: and another shall ariseH6966 after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down threeH8532 kingsH4430. 25And he shall speakH4449 wordsH4406 against the MostH5943 HighH5943, and shall wear out the saints of the MostH5943 HighH5943; and he shall think to changeH8133 the timesH2166 and the lawH1882; and they shall be given into his handH3028 until a timeH5732 and timesH2166 and half a timeH5732. 26But the judgment shall be set, and they shall take awayH5709 his dominionH7985, to consume and to destroyH7 it unto the endH5491. 27And the kingdomH4437 and the dominionH7985, and the greatnessH7238 of the kingdomsH4437 under the whole heavenH8065, shall be given to the peopleH5972 of the saints of the Most High: his kingdomH4437 is an everlasting kingdomH4437, and all dominionsH7985 shall serve and obey him.
