Daniel 7:7-14

7After this I kept looking in the night visions, and behold, a 1fourth beast, dreadful and terrifying and extremely strong; and it had large iron teeth. It devoured and crushed and trampled down the remainder with its feet; and it was different from all the beasts that were before it, and it had 2ten horns. 8While I was contemplating the horns, behold, 3another horn, a little one, came up among them, and three of the first horns were pulled out by the roots before it; and behold, 4this horn possessed eyes like the eyes of a man and 5a mouth uttering great boasts.

9“I kept looking Until 6thrones were set up, And the Ancient of Days took His seat; His 7vesture was like white snow And the 8hair of His head like pure wool. His 9throne was 10ablaze with flames, Its 11wheels were a burning fire.10A river of 12fire was flowing And coming out from before Him; 13Thousands upon thousands were attending Him, And myriads upon myriads were standing before Him; The 14court sat, And 15the books were opened. 11Then I kept looking because of the sound of the 16boastful words which the horn was speaking; I kept looking until the beast was slain, and its body was destroyed and given to the 17burning 18fire. 12As for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away, but an extension of life was granted to them for an appointed period of time.

13“I kept looking in the night visions, And behold, with the clouds of heaven One like a 19Son of Man was coming, And He came up to the Ancient of Days And was presented before Him.14And to Him was given 20dominion, Glory and 2122a kingdom, 23That all the peoples, nations and men of every 24language Might serve Him. 25His dominion is an everlasting dominion Which will not pass away; 26And His kingdom is one Which will not be destroyed.
