Daniel 7:2-28

2DanielH1841 1saidH6032H560, “I was 2lookingH2370 in my visionH2376 by nightH3916, and beholdH718, the 3fourH703 windsH7308 of heavenH8065 were stirringH1519 upH1519 the greatH7229 seaH3221. 3And fourH703 greatH7229 4beastsH2423 were comingH5559 upH5559 from the seaH3221, differentH8133 from oneH1668 anotherH1668. 4The firstH6933 was 5like a lionH744 but had the wingsH1611 of an eagleH5403. I keptH1934 lookingH2370 untilH5705H1768 its wingsH1611 were pluckedH4804, and it was liftedH5191 upH5191 from the groundH772 and setH6966 upH6966 on two feetH7271 like a manH606; a humanH606 6mindH3825 also was givenH3052 to it. 5And beholdH718, anotherH321 beastH2423, a secondH8578 one, resemblingH1821 a bearH1678. And it was raisedH6966 upH6966 on oneH2298 sideH7859, and threeH8532 ribsH5967 were in its mouthH6433 betweenH997 its teethH8128; and they saidH560 thisH3652 to it: ‘AriseH6966, devourH399 muchH7690 meatH1321!’ 6AfterH870 thisH1836 I keptH1934 lookingH2370, and beholdH718, anotherH321 one, 7like a leopardH5245, whichH1768 had on its 8backH1355 fourH703 wingsH1611 of a birdH5776; the beastH2423 also had 9fourH703 headsH7217, and dominionH7985 was givenH3052 to it. 7AfterH870 thisH1836 I keptH1934 lookingH2370 in the nightH3916 visionsH2376, and beholdH718, a 10fourthH7244 beastH2423, dreadfulH1763 and terribleH368, and extremelyH3493 strongH8624; and it had largeH7229 ironH6523 teethH8128. It devouredH399 and crushedH1855, and trampledH7512 downH7512 the remainderH7606 with its feetH7271; and it was differentH8133 from allH3606 the beastsH2423 that were beforeH6925 it, and it had 11tenH6236 hornsH7162. 8While I was thinkingH7920 about the hornsH7162, beholdH431, 12anotherH321 hornH7162, a littleH2192 oneH2192, cameH5559 upH5559 amongH997 them, and threeH8532 of the previousH6933 hornsH7162 were pluckedH6132 outH6132 beforeH4481H6925 it; and beholdH431, 13thisH1668 hornH7162 possessed eyesH5870 like humanH606 eyesH5870, and 14a mouthH6433 utteringH4449 greatH7229 boasts.

9“I keptH1934 lookingH2370 UntilH5705H1768 15thronesH3764 were setH7412 up, And the AncientH6268 of DaysH3118 tookH3488 His seatH3488; His 16garmentH3831 was whiteH2358 as snowH8517, And the 17hairH8177 of His headH7217 like pureH5343 woolH6015. His 18throneH3764 was 19ablazeH5135 with flamesH7631, Its 20wheelsH1535 were a burningH1815 fireH5135.10A riverH5103 of 21fireH5135 was flowingH5047 And comingH5312 outH5312 from beforeH6925 Him; 22ThousandsH506 upon thousandsH506 were servingH8120 Him, And myriadsH7240 upon myriadsH7240 were standingH6966 beforeH6925 Him; The 23courtH1780 24convenedH3488, And 25the booksH5609 were openedH6606. 11ThenH116 I keptH1934 lookingH2370 becauseH4481 of the soundH7032 of the 26boastfulH7229 wordsH4406 whichH1768 the hornH7162 was speakingH4449; I keptH1934 lookingH2370 untilH5705H1768 the beastH2423 was killedH6992, and its bodyH1655 was destroyedH7 and givenH3052 to the 27burningH3346 28fireH785. 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 sonH1247 of manH606 was comingH858, And He cameH4291 upH4291 to the AncientH6268 of DaysH3118 And was presentedH7127 beforeH6925 Him.14And to Him was givenH3052 29dominionH7985, HonorH3367, and 3031a kingdomH4437, 32So that allH3606 the peoplesH5972, nationsH524, and populations of all 33languagesH3961 Might serveH6399 Him. 34His dominionH7985 is an everlastingH5957 dominionH7985 WhichH1768 will not passH5709 awayH5709; 35And His kingdomH4437 is one WhichH1768 will not be destroyedH2255.

15“As for me, DanielH1841, my spiritH7308 was distressedH3735 withinH1459 36me, and the 37visionsH2376 38in my mindH7217 kept 39alarmingH927 me. 16I approachedH7127 oneH2298 of those who were 40standingH6966 by and began requestingH1156 of him the 41exactH3330 meaningH3330 of allH3606 thisH1836. So he 42toldH560 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 4344saintsH6922 of the HighestH5946 OneH5946 will 45receiveH6902 the kingdomH4437 and takeH2631 possessionH2631 of the kingdomH4437 foreverH5957, 46for allH5957 agesH5957 toH5957 comeH5957.’

19“ThenH116 I desiredH6634 to knowH3321 theH3321 47exactH3321 meaningH3321 of the 48fourthH7244 beastH2423, whichH1768 was differentH8133 from allH3606 49the 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 upH5559, and beforeH4481H6925 which threeH8532 of the horns fellH5308, namely, that hornH7162 which had eyesH5870 and a mouthH6433 utteringH4449 greatH7229 boasts, and 50which was largerH7229 in appearanceH2376 thanH4481 its associatesH2273. 21I keptH1934 lookingH2370, and that hornH7162 was 51wagingH5648 warH7129 with the 52saintsH6922 and prevailingH3202 againstH3202 them, 22untilH5705H1768 the AncientH6268 of DaysH3118 cameH858 and 53judgmentH1780 was 54passedH3052 in favor of the 55saintsH6922 of the HighestH5946 OneH5946, and the timeH2166 arrivedH4291 when the 56saintsH6922 tookH2631 possessionH2631 of the kingdomH4437.

23“ThisH3652 isH3652 whatH3652 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 trampleH1759 it downH1759 and crushH1855 it. 24As for the 57tenH6236 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 58humbleH8214 threeH8532 kingsH4430. 25And he will 5960speakH4449 againstH6655 the 61MostH5943 HighH5943 and 62wearH1080 downH1080 the 63saintsH6922 of the HighestH5946 OneH5946, and he will intendH5452 to makeH8133 64alterationsH8133 in timesH2166 and in lawH1882; and 65they will be handedH3052H3028 overH3052 to him for a 6667timeH5732, 68timesH5732, and halfH6387 a 69timeH5732. 26But the courtH1780 will 70conveneH3488 for judgment, and his dominionH7985 will be 71takenH5709 awayH5709, 72annihilatedH8046 and destroyedH7 73foreverH5491. 27Then the 7475sovereigntyH4437, the dominionH7985, and the greatnessH7238 of all the kingdomsH4437 underH8460 the wholeH3606 heavenH8065 will be givenH3052 to the peopleH5972 of the 76saintsH6922 of the HighestH5946 OneH5946; His kingdomH4437 will be an 77everlastingH5957 kingdomH4437, and allH3606 the empiresH7985 will 78serveH6399 and obeyH8086 Him.’

28“79At thisH3542 pointH3542 the revelationH4406 endedH5491. As for me, DanielH1841, my thoughtsH7476 were 80greatlyH7690 alarmingH927 me and my 81faceH2122 becameH8133 paleH8133, but I 82keptH5202 the matterH4406 83to myselfH3821.”
