Context of Daniel 7:15

13“I was watching in the night visions. Behold, One like a Son of Man, coming with the clouds of heaven. He approached the Ancient of Days, and was brought into His presence. 14Dominion, glory and sovereignty were given to Him that all peoples, nations, and languages should serve Him. His dominion is an everlasting dominion that will never pass away, and His kingdom is one that will not be destroyed. “As for me, Daniel, my spirit was disturbed within me, and the visions of my head alarmed me. 16I approached one of those standing nearby and asked him the true meaning of all this. So he spoke with me and revealed the interpretation of these things: 17‘These large beasts, four in number, are four kings that will rise from the earth.
