Daniel 7:17-24

17‘These great beasts, which are four in number, are four kings who will arise from the earth. 18But the 12saints of the Highest One will 3receive the kingdom and take possession of the kingdom forever, 4for all ages to come.’

19“Then I desired to know the 5exact meaning of the 6fourth beast, which was different from all 7the 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 the horns fell, namely, that horn which had eyes and a mouth uttering great boasts, and 8which was larger in appearance than its associates. 21I kept looking, and that horn was 9waging war with the 10saints and prevailing against them, 22until the Ancient of Days came and 11judgment was 12passed in favor of the 13saints of the Highest One, and the time arrived when the 14saints took possession of the kingdom.

23“This is what 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 trample it down and crush it. 24As for the 15ten 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 16humble three kings.
