Daniel:7:15-28
Seeker Overlay ON
*
I Daniel was grieved in my spirit 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 truth of all this .
So he told me ,
and made me know the interpretation of the things .
*
These great beasts ,
which are four ,
are four kings ,
which shall arise out of the earth .
*
But the saints of the most High shall take the kingdom ,
and possess the kingdom for ever ,
even for ever and ever .
*
Then I would know the truth of the fourth beast ,
which was diverse from all the others ,
exceeding dreadful ,
whose teeth were of iron ,
and his nails of brass ;
which devoured ,
brake in pieces ,
and stamped the residue with his feet ;
*
And of the ten horns that were in his head ,
and of the other which came up ,
and before whom three fell ;
even of that horn that had eyes ,
and a mouth that spake very great things ,
whose look was more stout than his fellows .
*
I beheld ,
and the same horn made war with the saints ,
and prevailed against them ;
*
Until the Ancient of days came ,
and judgment was given to the saints of the most High ;
and the time came that the saints possessed the kingdom .
*
Thus he said ,
The fourth beast shall be the fourth kingdom upon earth ,
which shall be diverse from all kingdoms ,
and shall devour the whole earth ,
and shall tread it down ,
and break it in pieces .
*
And the ten horns out of this kingdom are ten kings that shall arise :
and another shall rise after them ;
and he shall be diverse from the first ,
and he shall subdue three kings .
*
And he shall speak great words against the most High ,
and shall wear out the saints of the most High ,
and think to change times and laws :
and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and the dividing of time .
*
But the judgment shall sit ,
and they shall take away his dominion ,
to consume and to destroy it unto the end .
*
And the kingdom and dominion ,
and the greatness of the kingdom under the whole heaven ,
shall be given to the people of the saints of the most High ,
whose kingdom is an everlasting kingdom ,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him .
*
Hitherto is the end of the matter .
As for me Daniel ,
my cogitations much troubled me ,
and my countenance changed in me :
but I kept the matter in my heart .
