Daniel 7:10-26

10A riverH5103 of 1fireH5135 was flowingH5047 And comingH5312 out from beforeH6925 Him; 2ThousandsH506 upon thousandsH506 were attendingH8120 Him, And myriadsH7240 upon myriadsH7240 were standingH6966 beforeH6925 Him; The 3courtH1780 satH3488, And 4the booksH5609 were openedH6606. 11ThenH116 I keptH1934 lookingH2370 becauseH4481 of the soundH7032 of the 5boastfulH7229 wordsH4406 whichH1768 the hornH7162 was speakingH4449; I keptH1934 lookingH2370 untilH5705H1768 the beastH2423 was slainH6992, and its bodyH1655 was destroyedH7 and givenH3052 to the 6burningH3346 7fireH785. 12As for the restH7606 of the beastsH2423, their dominionH7985 was takenH5709 awayH5709, but an extensionH754 of lifeH2417 was grantedH3052 to them for an appointedH2166 periodH2166 of timeH5732.

13“I keptH1934 lookingH2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, And beholdH718, with the cloudsH6050 of heavenH8065 One like a 8SonH1247 of ManH606 was comingH858, And He cameH4291 up to the AncientH6268 of DaysH3118 And was presentedH7127 beforeH6925 Him.14And to Him was givenH3052 9dominionH7985, GloryH3367 and 1011a kingdomH4437, 12That allH3606 the peoplesH5972, nationsH524 and men of every 13languageH3961 Might serveH6399 Him. 14His dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985 WhichH1768 will not passH5709 awayH5709; 15And His kingdomH4437 is one WhichH1768 will not be destroyedH2255.

15“As for me, DanielH1841, my spiritH7308 was distressedH3735 16withinH1459 me, and the 17visionsH2376 18in my mindH7217 kept 19alarmingH927 me. 16I approachedH7127 oneH2298 of those who were 20standingH6966 by and began askingH1156 him the 21exactH3330 meaningH3330 of allH3606 thisH1836. So he 22toldH560 me and madeH3046 knownH3046 to me the interpretationH6591 of these thingsH4406: 17‘TheseH459 greatH7229 beastsH2423, whichH1768 are fourH703 in number, are fourH703 kingsH4430 who will ariseH6966 from the earthH772. 18But the 2324saintsH6922 of the HighestH5946 OneH5946 will 25receiveH6902 the kingdomH4437 and possessH2631 the kingdomH4437 foreverH5957, 26for allH5957 agesH5957 to comeH5957.’

19“ThenH116 I desiredH6634 to knowH3321 the 27exactH3321 meaningH3321 of the 28fourthH7244 beastH2423, whichH1768 was differentH8133 from allH3606 29the others, exceedinglyH3493 dreadfulH1763, with its teethH8128 of ironH6523 and its clawsH2953 of bronzeH5174, and which devouredH399, crushedH1855 and trampledH7512 downH7512 the remainderH7606 with its feetH7271, 20and the meaning of the tenH6236 hornsH7162 that were on its headH7217 and the otherH321 horn whichH1768 cameH5559 up, and beforeH4481H6925 which threeH8532 of them fellH5308, namely, that hornH7162 which had eyesH5870 and a mouthH6433 utteringH4449 greatH7229 boasts and 30which was largerH7229 in appearanceH2376 thanH4481 its associatesH2273. 21I keptH1934 lookingH2370, and that hornH7162 was 31wagingH5648 warH7129 with the 32saintsH6922 and overpoweringH3202 them 22untilH5705H1768 the AncientH6268 of DaysH3118 cameH858 and 33judgmentH1780 was 34passedH3052 in favor of the 35saintsH6922 of the HighestH5946 OneH5946, and the timeH2166 arrivedH4291 when the 36saintsH6922 tookH2631 possessionH2631 of the kingdomH4437.

23“ThusH3652 he saidH560: ‘The fourthH7244 beastH2423 will be a fourthH7244 kingdomH4437 on the earthH772, whichH1768 will be differentH8133 from allH3606 the other kingdomsH4437 and will devourH399 the wholeH3606 earthH772 and treadH1759 it downH1759 and crushH1855 it. 24As for the 37tenH6236 hornsH7162, out of this kingdomH4437 tenH6236 kingsH4430 will ariseH6966; and anotherH321 will ariseH6966 afterH311 them, and he will be differentH8133 from the previousH6933 onesH6933 and will subdueH8214 threeH8532 kingsH4430. 25He will 38speakH4449 39out againstH6655 the 40MostH5943 HighH5943 and 41wearH1080 downH1080 the 42saintsH6922 of the HighestH5946 OneH5946, and he will intendH5452 to makeH8133 43alterationsH8133 in timesH2166 and in lawH1882; and 44they will be givenH3052 into his handH3028 for a 4546timeH5732, 47timesH5732, and halfH6387 a 48timeH5732. 26But the courtH1780 will sitH3488 for judgment, and his dominionH7985 will be 49takenH5709 awayH5709, 50annihilatedH8046 and destroyedH7 51foreverH5491.
