Daniel 7:23-27

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 1ten 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 2speak 3out against the 4Most High and 5wear down the 6saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make 7alterations in times and in law; and 8they will be given into his hand for a 9 10time, 11times, and half a 12time. 26But the court will sit for judgment, and his dominion will be 13taken away, 14annihilated and destroyed 15forever. 27Then the 16 17sovereignty, the dominion and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the 18saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an 19everlasting kingdom, and all the dominions will 20serve and obey Him.’
