Daniel 7:19-27
Then I desired to know the truth concerning the fourth beast, which was
different from all the rest, exceedingly terrifying, with its teeth of
iron and claws of bronze, and which devoured and broke in pieces, and
stamped what was left with its feet; and concerning the ten horns that
were on its head, and concerning the other horn, which came up and to make
room for which three of them fell out — the horn that had eyes and a mouth
that spoke arrogantly, and that seemed greater than the others. As I
looked, this horn made war with the holy ones and was prevailing over
them, until the Ancient One came; then judgment was given for the holy
ones of the Most High, and the time arrived when the holy ones gained
possession of the kingdom.
This is what he said: "As for the fourth beast,
there shall be a fourth kingdom on earth
that shall be different from all the other kingdoms;
it shall devour the whole earth,
and trample it down, and break it to pieces.
As for the ten horns,
out of this kingdom ten kings shall arise,
and another shall arise after them.
This one shall be different from the former ones,
and shall put down three kings.
He shall speak words against the Most High,
shall wear out the holy ones of the Most High,
and shall attempt to change the sacred seasons and the law;
and they shall be given into his power
for a time, two times, and half a time.
Then the court shall sit in judgment,
and his dominion shall be taken away,
to be consumed and totally destroyed.
The kingship and dominion
and the greatness of the kingdoms under the whole heaven
shall be given to the people of the holy ones of the Most High;
their kingdom shall be an everlasting kingdom,
and all dominions shall serve and obey them."
