Daniel:7:15-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
As for me Daniel ,
my spirit was grieved in the midst of my body ,
and the visions of my head troubled me .
*
I came near unto one of them that stood by ,
and asked him the certainty of all this .
And he told me ,
and made me know the interpretation of the things :
*
These great beasts ,
which are four ,
are four kings , [
that ]
shall arise out of the earth .
*
But the saints of the most high [
places ]
shall receive the kingdom ,
and they shall possess the kingdom for ever ,
even to the ages of ages .
*
Then I desired to know the certainty concerning the fourth beast ,
which was different from them all ,
exceeding dreadful ,
whose teeth were of iron ,
and its nails of brass ;
which devoured ,
broke in pieces ,
and stamped the rest with its feet ;
*
and concerning the ten horns that were in its head ,
and the other that came up ,
and before which three fell :
even that horn that had eyes ,
and a mouth speaking great things ,
and whose look was more imposing than its fellows .
*
I beheld ,
and that horn made war with the saints ,
and prevailed over them ;
*
until the Ancient of days came ,
and judgment was given to the saints of the most high [
places ];
and the appointed time arrived ,
and the saints possessed the kingdom .
*
He said thus :
The fourth beast shall be a fourth kingdom upon the earth ,
which shall be different from all the kingdoms ,
and shall devour the whole earth ,
and shall tread it down ,
and break it in pieces .
*
And as to the ten horns ,
out of this kingdom shall arise ten kings ;
and another shall arise after them ;
and he shall be different from the former ,
and he shall subdue three kings .
*
And he shall speak words against the Most High ,
and shall wear out the saints of the most high [
places ],
and think to change seasons and the law ;
and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and a half time .
*
And the judgment shall sit ,
and they shall take away his dominion ,
to consume and to destroy it unto the end .
*
But the kingdom and the dominion ,
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heavens ,
shall be given to the people of the saints of the most high [
places ].
His kingdom is an everlasting kingdom ,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him .
*
So far is the end of the matter .
As for me Daniel ,
my thoughts much troubled me ,
and my countenance was changed in me ;
but I kept the matter in my heart .
