Daniel:7:15-28
rsv@Daniel:7:15 @ "As for me, Daniel, my spirit within me was anxious and the visions of my head alarmed me.
rsv@Daniel:7:16 @ I approached one of those who stood there and asked him the truth concerning all this. So he told me, and made known to me the interpretation of the things.
rsv@Daniel:7:17 @ `These four great beasts are four kings who shall arise out of the earth.
rsv@Daniel:7:18 @ But the saints of the Most High shall receive the kingdom, and possess the kingdom for ever, for ever and ever.'
rsv@Daniel:7:19 @ "Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was different from all the rest, exceedingly terrible, with its teeth of iron and claws of bronze; and which devoured and broke in pieces, and stamped the residue with its feet;
rsv@Daniel:7:20 @ and concerning the ten horns that were on its head, and the other horn which came up and before which three of them fell, the horn which had eyes and a mouth that spoke great things, and which seemed greater than its fellows.
rsv@Daniel:7:21 @ As I looked, this horn made war with the saints, and prevailed over them,
rsv@Daniel:7:22 @ until the Ancient of Days came, and judgment was given for the saints of the Most High, and the time came when the saints received the kingdom.
rsv@Daniel:7:23 @ "Thus he said: `As for the fourth beast, there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth, which shall be different from all the kingdoms, and it shall devour the whole earth, and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
rsv@Daniel:7:24 @ As for the ten horns, out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise, and another shall arise after them; he shall be different from the former ones, and shall put down three kings.
rsv@Daniel:7:25 @ He shall speak words against the Most High, and shall wear out the saints of the Most High, and shall think to change the times and the law; and they shall be given into his hand for a time, two times, and half a time.
rsv@Daniel:7:26 @ But the court shall sit in judgment, and his dominion shall be taken away, to be consumed and destroyed to the end.
rsv@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 shall be an everlasting kingdom, and all dominions shall serve and obey them.'
rsv@Daniel:7:28 @ "Here is the end of the matter. As for me, Daniel, my thoughts greatly alarmed me, and my color changed; but I kept the matter in my mind."
