Daniel 7:23-27

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 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 2humble three kings. 25And he will 3 4speak against the 5Most High and 6wear down the 7saints of the Highest One, and he will intend to make 8alterations in times and in law; and 9they will be handed over to him for a 10 11time, 12times, and half a 13time. 26But the court will 14convene for judgment, and his dominion will be 15taken away, 16annihilated and destroyed 17forever. 27Then the 18 19sovereignty, the dominion, and the greatness of all the kingdoms under the whole heaven will be given to the people of the 20saints of the Highest One; His kingdom will be an 21everlasting kingdom, and all the empires will 22serve and obey Him.’
