jps@Daniel:7:1 @ In the first year of Belshazzar king of Babylon Daniel had a dream and visions of his head upon his bed; then he wrote the dream and told the sum of the matters.
jps@Daniel:7:2 @ Daniel spoke and said: I saw in my vision by night, and, behold, the four winds of the heaven broke forth upon the great sea.
jps@Daniel:7:3 @ And four great beasts came up from the sea, diverse one from another.
jps@Daniel:7:4 @ The first was like a lion, and had eagle's wings; I beheld till the wings thereof were plucked off, and it was lifted up from the earth, and made stand upon two feet as a man, and a man's heart was given to it.
jps@Daniel:7:5 @ And behold another beast, a second, like to a bear, and it raised up itself on one side, and it had three ribs in its mouth between its teeth; and it was said thus unto it: 'Arise, devour much flesh.'
jps@Daniel:7:6 @ After this I beheld, and lo another, like a leopard, which had upon the sides of it four wings of a fowl; the beast had also four heads; and dominion was given to it.
jps@Daniel:7:7 @ After this I saw in the night visions, and behold a fourth beast, dreadful and terrible, and strong exceedingly; and it had great iron teeth; it devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet; and it was diverse from all the beasts that were before it; and it had ten horns.
jps@Daniel:7:8 @ I considered the horns, and, behold, there came up among them another horn, a little one, before which three of the first horns were plucked up by the roots; and, behold, in this horn were eyes like the eyes of a man, and a mouth speaking great things.
jps@Daniel:7:9 @ I beheld till thrones were placed, and one that was ancient of days did sit: his raiment was as white snow, and the hair of his head like pure wool; his throne was fiery flames, and the wheels thereof burning fire.
jps@Daniel:7:10 @ A fiery stream issued and came forth from before him; thousand thousands ministered unto him, and ten thousand times ten thousand stood before him; the judgment was set, and the books were opened.
jps@Daniel:7:11 @ I beheld at that time because of the voice of the great words which the horn spoke, I beheld even till the beast was slain, and its body destroyed, and it was given to be burned with fire.
jps@Daniel:7:12 @ And as for the rest of the beasts, their dominion was taken away; yet their lives were prolonged for a season and a time.
jps@Daniel:7:13 @ I saw in the night visions, and, behold, there came with the clouds of heaven one like unto a son of man, and he came even to the Ancient of days, and he was brought near before Him.
jps@Daniel:7:14 @ And there was given him dominion, and glory, and a kingdom, that all the peoples, nations, and languages should serve him; his dominion is an everlasting dominion, which shall not pass away, and his kingdom that which shall not be destroyed.
jps@Daniel:7:15 @ As for me Daniel, my spirit was pained in the midst of my body, and the visions of my head affrighted me.
jps@Daniel:7:16 @ I came near unto one of them that stood by, and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made me know the interpretation of the things:
jps@Daniel:7:17 @ 'These great beasts, which are four, are four kings, that shall arise out of the earth.
jps@Daniel:7:18 @ But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, even for ever and ever.'
jps@Daniel:7:19 @ Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was diverse from all of them, exceeding terrible, whose teeth were of iron, and its nails of brass; which devoured, brake in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
jps@Daniel:7:20 @ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up, and before which three fell; even that horn that had eyes, and a mouth that spoke great things, whose appearance was greater than that of its fellows.
jps@Daniel:7:21 @ I beheld, and the same horn made war with the saints, and prevailed against them;
jps@Daniel:7:22 @ until the Ancient of days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High; and the time came, and the saints possessed the kingdom.
jps@Daniel:7:23 @ Thus he said: 'The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon earth, which shall be diverse from all the kingdoms, and shall devour the whole earth, and shall tread it down, and break it in pieces.
jps@Daniel:7:24 @ And as for the ten horns, out of this kingdom shall ten kings arise; and another shall arise after them; and he shall be diverse from the former, and he shall put down three kings.
jps@Daniel:7:25 @ And he shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High; and he shall think to change the seasons and the law; and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time.
jps@Daniel:7:26 @ But the judgment shall sit, and his dominions shall be taken away, to be consumed and to be destroy unto the end.
jps@Daniel:7:27 @ And the kingdom and the dominion, and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven, shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High; their kingdom is an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'
jps@Daniel:7:28 @ Here is the end of the matter. As for me Daniel, my thoughts much affrighted me, and my countenance was changed in me; but I kept the matter in my heart.
