Daniel 7:15-28

15“As for me, Daniel, my spirit was distressed 1within me, and the 2visions 3in my mind kept 4alarming me. 16I approached one of those who were 5standing by and began asking him the 6exact meaning of all this. So he 7told me and made known to me the interpretation of these things: 17‘These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. 18But the 89saints of the Highest One will 10receive the kingdom and possess the kingdom forever, 11for all ages to come.’

19“Then I desired to know the 12exact meaning of the 13fourth beast, which was different from all 14the others, exceedingly dreadful, with its teeth of iron and its claws of bronze, and which devoured, crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet, 20and the meaning of the ten horns that were on its head and the other horn which came up, and before which three of them fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts and 15which was larger in appearance than its associates. 21I kept looking, and that horn was 16waging war with the 17saints and overpowering them 22until the Ancient of Days came and 18judgment was 19passed in favor of the 20saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the 21saints took possession of the kingdom.

23“Thus he said: ‘The fourth beast will be a fourth kingdom on the earth, which will be different from all the other kingdoms and will devour the whole earth and tread it down and crush it. 24As for the 22ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings will arise; and another will arise after them, and he will be different from the previous ones and will subdue three kings. 25He will 23speak 24out against the 25Most High and 26wear down the 27saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make 28alterations in times and in law; and 29they will be given into his hand for a 3031time, 32times, and half a 33time. 26But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be 34taken away, 35annihilated and destroyed 36forever. 27Then the 3738sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the 39saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an 40everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will 41serve and obey Him.’

28“42At this point the revelation ended. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts were 43greatly alarming me and my 44face grew pale, but I 45kept the matter 46to myself.”
