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 to one of those who stood by ,
and asked him the truth concerning all this .
So he told me ,
and made me know the interpretation of the things .
*
These great animals ,
which are four ,
are four kings ,
who shall arise out of the earth .
*
But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom ,
and possess the kingdom forever ,
even forever and ever .
*
Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth animal ,
which was diverse from all of them ,
exceedingly terrible ,
whose teeth were of iron ,
and its nails of brass ;
which devoured ,
broke in pieces ,
and stamped the residue with its feet ;
*
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 look was more stout than its fellows .
*
I saw ,
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 animal shall be a fourth kingdom on 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 .
*
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 .
*
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 times and the law ;
and they shall be given into his hand until a time and times and half a time .
*
But the judgment shall be set ,
and they shall take away his dominion ,
to consume and to destroy it to the end .
*
The kingdom and the dominion ,
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole sky ,
shall be given to the people of the saints of the Most High :
his kingdom is an everlasting kingdom ,
and all dominions shall serve and obey him .
*
Here is the end of the matter .
As for me ,
Daniel ,
my thoughts much troubled me ,
and my face was changed in me :
but I kept the matter in my heart .
